Aloha,
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!
This is harmful, invasive radiation that is damaging to our health and environment!
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,
Soleil Hawthorne
