I support Bill 194 and vehemently oppose an ordinance to amend Chapter 25 (Zoning), Article 2, Article 4, Article 5, and Article 7 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended) relating to telecommunication antennas and towers. The purpose is to remove the requirement for a use permit to establish telecommunication antennas and towers in certain zoning districts, add application requirements, and amend standards for the establishment of telecommunication antennas and towers by the current Planning Director for Hawaii County. I congratulate the Hawaii County Council Members who are as follows: A. Chung A. Kierkiewicz M. David S. Lee Loy Eoff V. Poindexter M. Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder and Villega All of the above Council Members voted to cease the buildout of 5G wireless infrastructure until such technologies have been proven through independent research and testing to be safe to human health and the environment with Resolution 678-20 in July 2020. One County Council Member, T. Richards voted against Resolution 678-20. I commend these County Council Members for their concern and safety extended to Hawaii County residents. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is derelict in it's obligation as a federal agency to protect the people of the United States of America by overriding any County regulations initiated for public safety. Thousands of scientists, medical doctors, and research have proven that EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are dangerous causing hundreds of illnesses, e.g. brain cancers, dementia, skin rashes, headaches, loss of vision, more. These concerned scientists and medical doctors are sounding the alarm. I got involved in research of EMFs in 2002 because it was known to cause cancer. The 2G, 3G, 4G have been studied and scientists already discovered these EMFs can cause disease & illnesses. Everyone can research EMF dangers and pollution, there are no reasons why our Hawaii County Council Members cannot research, especially those mentioned who did vote to cease buildout of 5G wireless infrastructure until it can be proven to be safe. The FCC's last research on EMF pollution/dangers was done in 1996 or 28 yrs. ago! More research and more injuries have been reported which are reasons why more scientists, medical doctors and the public are becoming involved. Another consideration should be the legal actions that may be initiated due to deaths and injuries. It was proven to be dangerous especially for our children. Scientists and medical doctors agree that children from age 1 day old to 15 yrs. of age are most susceptible to EMF pollution because they are just developing their brain, eyes, heart, liver, etc. Also, our seniors (that's me) are highly susceptible because they tend to have illnesses e.g. diabetes, cancers, dementia, arthritis & more. Therefore, these two groups of residents in Hawaii County should be our primary concern. I strongly recommend that the County Council Members do not allow the Telecommunications companies the freedom to just build their infrastructures. 5G is used by the US Military as a biological weapon, therefore, with 5G on Hawaii Island anyone, anything and all are subject to being injured or death with its more powerful electromagnetic frequencies. 5G technology should be a priority for all our elected officials to research & know well before voting in favor of any Telecommunications company allowing 5G installations. I know that many of our County Council Members are very good people, love their families, and caring and Resolution 678-20 is evidence of this statement that happened in July 2020. Today in 2024, please do not lose sight of the importance of safety for our children, our kupuna and all who live in Hawaii. The Federal Communications Commission is just a federal agency, and that agency is well aware that they do not have jurisdiction in any state e.g. California, Texas, Nevada - the people have the power and that is why you are elected. Please do not forsake or breach your oath of office .... " , do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Constitution of the State of Hawaii, and I will faithfully discharge my duties as Council Member to the best of my ability." I know that you are caring human beings. Please do not lose sight of your obligations to our children as they depend on us (elders) to love them, care for them, and keep them safe! Mahalo nui loa, Kalei Kailikini
