Cullen, Vice Chair <br /> Committee on Finance <br /> Dear Chair Luke, Vice Chair Cullen, and Committee Members: <br /> RE: HB 2598, HD1 Relating to Abandoned and Derelict Vehicles <br /> On today's agenda is HB 2598, HD1 dealing with abandoned vehicles. I thank the Legislature <br /> for continuing to try to solve this perennial problem, and I want to express my support. <br /> HB 2598, HD1 would set up a Task Force to make recommendations. Since this problem is <br /> one of long standing, and seems to affect every jurisdiction, maybe bringing people together will <br /> result in some practical solutions. The bill calls for involvement of the police departments, which is <br /> good; and I am pleased that a Mayor now, under HD1, will be able to designate a representative from <br /> a county department that deals with the actual disposal of vehicles, which in Hawaii County is the <br /> Department of Environmental Management. <br /> Please give HB 2598, HD1 your favorable vote. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Harry Ki <br /> MAYOR <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
