Resolution No. 445 -14 : A Resolution urging Hawaii Island Legislators to
request a $400,000 grant from the Hawaii Invasive Species Council to the Department of
Parks and Recreation to research methods to control the spread of the little fire ant.
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 Governmental Relations and Economic Development to the full
Council for immediate action. In reviewing this matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore
advantageous that approval is granted and the matter be placed onto the next Council agenda for
review. However, in the event this request is denied, for whatever reason, I understand the
matter shall be referred to the Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic
Development for placement on its future agenda.
Sincerely,
Dennis "Fresh" Onishi, Chair
