Hnwni'i 96720 W - August 31, 2004 To: Councilmember Michael Tulang Vice Chair HSAC, Members of HSAC and Members of the Hawaii County Council Topic: HSAC 2005 Legislative Package Dear Councilmember Tulang, Please include a request for legislative action to end Hawaii's program of motor vehicle inspections. Hawaii residents already pay too much to insure, repair, and pay for fuel for, their vehicles. This inspection program has little or no value in preventing fatalities or injuries to motorists and pedestrians. It costs residents millions of dollars in a meaningless inspection program with no tangible increase in safety. Most states that once had this program have discontinued the program. Let us now give this tax relief to the residents of our state. Sincerely, Councilmember Bob Jacobson Comm. No. ' Ref. To: [feseeted W Ref.

This is needed to protect the health and safety of the people of Hawaii. Let us now give this measure of safety to the residents and investors of our state. The amount of UXO is incalculable at the present time. [t appears that the military will continue to increase training operations and that the real estate market will be encompassing an even greater volume of lands in this state for residential uses. There are many well-documented LJXO sites across the state. We need to establish a registry program to locate these sites to prevent emergency, civil defense and others from being injured or killed by UXO that hasn't been located or cleaned up. Sincerely, Councilmember Bob Jacobson District 6 -Upper Puna, Kn`u unASouth Koun
