Aloha,
I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed telecommunications ordinance, Bill
194, which had already been forwarded to you, thus I oppose Item #4. The new
ordinance proposed by the Director is not strict enough toward the
telecommunications industry and does not provide enough protections for our
community.
The proposed ordinance gives almost total power to Planning with no other agencies
or experts involved! We need the scientific test results and key experts to weigh in on
the decisions to be made. Plus, it rushes the approval process to only 30 days. It has
no provisions to protect us against 5G small cells. It allows towers at schools and day
care centers! Having no protection from 5G transmissions and placing them near
schools and residential areas is egregious!
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear,
attainable requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and
welfare needs of the people and the needs of the tech industry.
Thank you for your consideration,
Heidi Hirsh
