No. (808) 935 -7647 License No. BC -24715 To: The Honorable Council Chairperson, Dominic Yagong And Members of the Hawaii County Council From: Hilton Hara Electrical Contractor LLC 1151 Kinoole Street Hilo HI 96720 Subject: Bill 268, Draft 2, Relating to An Ordinance Amending Chapter 9 of the Hawaii County Code 1983, Relating to the County Electrical Code. Notice of Hearing Date: Friday, July 22, 2011 Time: 9:00 AM Place: West Hawaii Civic Center, Council Chambers I am an electrical contractor licensed to do business in the State of Hawaii with a shop in Hilo for the past 24 years. The majority of our work is performed within the Hawaii County. 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. An acceptable language should include 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 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. 7dLWcJ Hilton Hara Hilton Hara Electrical Contractor LLC
