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.
I oppose for the following reasons:
It gives almost total power to planning 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, and also it allows towers at schools and day care centers which is not
in the best interest of our keiki.
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 time and consideration,
Sarah Hoffman
