your request for review and recommendation of the subject Bills within a 45-day period.
The Environmental Management Commission's(EMC) meeting scheduled for April 22, 2015 was
cancelled due to lack of quorum and the EMC will not reconvene until after the 45-day review
deadline of May 20, 2015,so we wilt not have the opportunity to comment on these bills.
Section 2-207, HCC,provides as follows: "In the event that the commission fails to act within
the forty-five-day review period,such inaction shall be considered as an unfavorable
recommendation."
County of Flawai`i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
I would like to request that the Council provide an extension of the 45-day response deadline or
resubmit the referrals of these two bills to EMC to allow the commission to obtain quorum and
provide a response to the Council.
