Notice of Hearing
Date: Friday, July 22, 2011
Time: 9:00 AM
Place: West Hawaii Civic Center, Council Chambers
Dear Chairperson Yagong:
I am an electrical contractor licensed to do business in the State of Hawaii with
operations in both Kona and Hilo.
I fully support Bill 268 with revisions. The intent and purpose of Bill 268 clarifies
many issues related to electrical work in the County but "Section 9 -3 (3) Scope; exceptions" is
too vague and opens the door for anyone other than the utility company or licensed electrical
contractor to control and perform the work within a proposed boundary lines of a subdivision,
proposed subdivision under development, or an approved subdivision, where the work is
planned or actual roadways or other common infrastructure areas. Acceptable language
should state that the work should be performed exclusively by the utility company or contractor
contracted to perform the work for the utility company. Any and all work other than that done
by the utility company or its contractor should be performed by an authorized licensed electrical
contractor.
I support Bill 268 with revision as described above.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on this issue.
