A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING "I"11E CHAIR A"~I7 VICE fl-lA]'~: OI=
CERTAIN COUNCIL Ct1ri1MITTEES
DISAPPROVE!
Good morning members ,nt'ihe Flawai`i County Council.
Thete is an old saying, "If st's not brok<:n_ don'i fx it." C belia~e th:.: ihi,
pertains to the matter before you today. The Councihr$n being switched aro±utd ~irtve trot
requested this change -rather, it is being imposed upon them. The}' are effi: dive i t their
current positions, and some have complicated long-term proleccs of im.portFS.ce r~ ~di¢
Island commtmities -and not juti~ in their own districts. Banging in socrceo~~ new wit4.
require more preparation time, and the new person will not Scuow all the del:+i,s. ~3ome: ai
these details, for example, have w do with the various stakeltclders the} ,H~: _ :w •,v, rking
with; so if they don't knew who reeky speaks far a group. who is a loose aanrton_ ,vho
talks a good talk but doesn't produce, etc. dtey will waste valuable time on inojc. t:+ that
should have been done yesterday (because of our infrastructure backlog).
To be perfectly freak (aad some of you wi11 not appreciate this), the pub:fe luau
been watching and we don't like all the infighring aad conflicts of interest trtat we see on
the Council as it is currently constituted. You all took alt oath to work for Ste pevl,Ie of
the entire island, and not gut your own personal agendas. or personalities al-ove ~.:utt
tttantlate. By disen&anehisingeny wtmcilmember you are aisu disen5nttehcsittg a`s or
her entire district. If the councilrrember is working on an issue in XOL?R d . strict, then
you are disenfranchising your o++~n constituents. Please doa`t take this not - trk j the
moral high ground, stop bickeritsg, agree to disagree and v~vric tagefher i
F ::as'., t tirtg
we need is a dysiimc irntal Couna:il. Plrree do not pass thus e-esoMfinn,
,tiiahalo,
