Subject: Opposed to Resolution 202-09
Aloha Mr. Chair and members of the Hawai'i County Council,
I am opposed to Resolution 202-09.
If passed, this resolution would severely harm that ability of the County Council to
effectively legislate during a time of grave economic crisis.
This resolution proposes to remove council representatives and their staff who have a
working knowledge of complex county departments, such a public works and finance,
and replace them with council representative who do not have the resumes to be as
effective.
Since the distraction of the next election cycle begins in one year, this resolution
prevent better government at a time when good government is critical.
In addition, by merging the Food and Energy Sustainability Committee into
Environmental Management and merging Human Services and Economic
Development into Finance, these important areas will not receive the careful attention
that they deserve at a time when public support for these areas is growing.
Further, the public will be further discouraged from testifying and staying to listen to
the discussion of committee agenda items because they will be forced to wait longer
since committee agendas will become much longer. This would be a great disservice
to the general public, their employers, and their families.
Mahalo,
Dr. Marya Mann
