I oppose Item #4 because I support Council Member Cindy
Evans' proposed telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which
had already been forwarded to you. The new ordinance
proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the
telecommunications industry with not enough protections for
our community.
It gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no
other agencies or experts involved! It rushes the approval
process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to protect us
against 5G small cells! It freely allows towers at schools,
playgrounds and day care centers!
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance
which has clear, attainable requirements. It is the perfect
balance between the health, safety and welfare of the people
and the needs of the tech industry.
Mahalo,
