Hawaii, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations 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

placement on its future agenda.
