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 Committee on Finance to the full Council for immediate action. It is my understanding that Council Member Yagong will be bringing forth an amendment to Bill 211 Draft 3, which will be heard on June 7, 2010. The amendment will propose charging a nominal fee for utilizing the County of Hawaii Public Transportation Bus Service. This ordinance needs to be considered at the full Council on June 7, 2010 in order for us to implement a fee and to be able to discuss the amendment to Bill 211 Draft 3. It is therefore imperative that this waiver approval is granted and the matter placed onto the next Council agenda for review. Thank you very much for consideration.
