RE: Resolution No. 417-07 : Requesting the Hawaii State Legislature to Schedule Committee
Hearings, Give Floor Consideration, and Adopt into Law the Provisions of House Bill 72 and
Senate Bill 661 to Provide Truth-In-Labeling for Kona Coffee.
Pursuant to Section 2(g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawaii, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Finance Committee to the full Council for immediate action. In reviewing this
matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore advantageous that approval is granted and the
matter placed onto the next Council agenda for review. However, in the event this request is
denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the Finance Committee
for placement on its future agenda.
Sincerely,
Brenda Ford, Chair
