Subject: Bill 64 -Testimony in Support of the proposed bill
TO: HAWAI ' I COUNTY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
August 16, 2013
Chair Kern, Vice Chair Mamo Kanuha, Members of the Committee,
I would like to offer my written testimony in support of Bill 64 . Albezia is an unsafe
flora on this island and should be removed wherever it grows . Despite the lack of quorum
by the committee, the negative recommendation recently recorded is not truly
representative of the best interests of the citizens of this island. Such a vague,
procedurally produced recommendation should not be allowed to stand as the final
recommendation of this committee on such an important issue.
I applaud Chair Kern and Councilperson Wylie for submitting a pending motion that will
allow the council to vote properly to recommend passage of Bill 64 and not hide behind
pa rliamentary procedure. With a positive recommendation, and testimony from citizens that
are endangered every day driving under the branches of the larger albezia trees, I'm sure
the full council will see the wisdom behind Bill 64 and pass it promptly.
Thanks for your support and hard work on this issue.
