For the record, this testimony is from me as a resident of Hawai'i Island for 26 years. I did author Bill 194 and submit to Council prior to the end of my term on the Council. Attached is the written testimony I submitted to the Windward Planning Commission, December 5th agenda, which details the purpose of Bill 194, and a background of research conducted. Also, it details my discussions with Planning Department during my Council Term and background leading up to introduction of Bill 194 to the Council. Bill 194 is 1) compliant with federal law; 2) updates County Code to be compliant with state law on required time to process an application; 3) requires copies of information and specific documents providing for transparency and verification of government compliance with regulations; 4) addresses emergency response for fire; 5)sets standards for review and approval; and 6) addresses safety measures to prepare and respond to natural disasters. Mahalo for your consideration. I am a strong believer in transparency and accountability. Documentation and verification of applicant meeting government regulations (E.G.
