Aloha, I live in Hawaii and I am representing 50 of my family and friends, all voters here. I
wish I could come to the Zoom meeting but I can’t.
My testimony-you already have read Council Woman Cindy Evan’s proposed
telecommunications Bill 194.
This new ordinance suddenly proposed by the Planning Director is horrible, it is sneaky and
certainly it is not putting the people’s health first but big tech interests ahead of us the
residents, with not enough protections for our community!
Please vote with your heart, think of your children’s health and don’t support this new bill put
forth by the Planning Director.Which gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom
Industry with no other agencies or experts involved! Don’t you sense the wrongness of this
closed network without input from those with different perspectives. This feels like improper
oversight nor care for improvement and care for those who have to live under these towers.
It rushes the approval process to only 30 days! Doesn’t that make you suspicious of it’s
nefarious intent????
It has no provisions to protect us against 5G small cells!
It freely allows towers at schools, playgrounds and day care centers! There are health
issues when these towers are near homes and schools and hospitals.
Please do your own research not just what you hear from the Telecom companies. Your
vote is noted by God and us the citizens, your neighbors.
I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed t elecommunications ordinance, Bill 194,
which had already been forwarded to you.
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, with attainable
requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare of the people and
the needs of the tech industry.
PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND VOTE WITH YOUR HEART WITH
FORETHOUGHT & CONCERN FOR THE CARE OF THE KEIKI AND SENIORS and
your friends and family.
MAHALO NUI LOA,
Leslee Cook
