<br />From:Nai`a <br />To:LPCtestimony <br />Subject:oppose item #4 <br />Date:Sunday, September 15, 2024 7:56:09 PM <br />I oppose Item #4 because I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed <br />telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which has already been forwarded to you. <br />The new ordinance proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the <br />telecommunications industry with not enough protections for our community. <br />It gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no other agencies or experts <br />involved! It rushes the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to <br />protect us against 5G small cells! It freely allows towers at schools, playgrounds and <br />daycare centers! <br />Please consider Council Member Evans' proposed ordinance which has clear, <br />attainable requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and <br />welfare of the people and the needs of the tech industry. <br />Nadine NEWLIGHT <br />Ha`iku, HI. 96708 <br />I acknowledge that this ‘ina is part of the larger territory <br />recognized by Indigenous Hawaiians as their ancestral <br />grandmother, Papahnaumoku. I recognize that Her <br />Majesty Queen Lili‘uokalani yielded the Hawaiian <br />Kingdom and these territories under duress and protest <br />to the United States to avoid the bloodshed of her <br />people. I further recognize that Hawai‘i remains an <br />illegally occupied state of America. <br />
