Re: Written Testimony In Support Of Bill 258, Draft 4
Animal Control Bill
Please accept this letter as written testimony urging you to pass Bill 258, Draft 4.
In February 2006, I provided written testimony in strong opposition to Bill 4, Draft 6.
In my letter dated February 11, 2006, I cited several sections from the ordinances of the
City and County of Honolulu as examples to improve Hawaii County's legislation.
Bill 258, Draft 4 is a vast improvement over Bill 4, Draft 6, as it utilizes language from
the ordinances of the City and County of Honolulu to improve upon not only the previously
introduced bill, but also the existing Chapter 4 of the Hawaii County Code.
If adopted, the new ordinance will provide stronger measures towards animal control and
promote greater responsibility among pet owners, while allowing flexibility for the public
to enjoy training, hunting, and competition events.
I wholeheartedly support Bill 258, Draft 4 and humbly ask for your support to adopt this
bill at your next meeting on Wednesday, November 29, 2006.
Sincerely,
Pamela Mizuno J~Qb
