No. 1051) and <br /> Bill 332, Draft 2 (Comm. No. 1051.01) <br /> Chairwoman Leithead-Todd and Committee Members, <br /> I am Donald Medeiros of the Hawaii Operating Engineers Industry <br /> Stabilization Fund. We are a joint Labor and Management organization <br /> representing approximately three thousand members in ITawaii's heavy <br /> construction industry and approximately three hundred employers. <br /> I come before you this morning in support of a Change of Zone and a <br /> SMA Use Permit, that would allow the Developers of Ka'upulehu <br /> Development to further their project that will provide much needed <br /> employment opportunities as well as protect the important resources nt <br /> the site. <br /> I do not have to remind you that the current prolonged economic <br /> downturn in Hawaii has had a tremendous impact on our members and <br /> their families. I am here today because we have a responsibility to our <br /> members to provide employment opportunities in an industry that we are <br /> proud to be a part of Those opportunities today are few and as a result, <br /> provide an increased hardship on, not only us, the Operating Engineers, <br /> but all of us who live and work and call Hawaii horne. <br /> It is my understanding that along with this proposal, 235 acres will be set <br /> aside as a resource management area, which will be part of an integrated <br /> approach at protecting the coastline and other areas with an active <br /> management plan.
