Dear Chair Kahele, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, and Committee Members:
Re: SB 1141 Making an Appropriation to the Department of Land and Natural
Resources (Kulani Water Tanks)
Hearing Date: February 1, 2019 – 1:15 PM; Senate Conference Room 229
Hawaiʻi County’s Fire Chief has laid out the case in support of SB 1141, and explained
why it is so important to us. County Fire and DLNR work hand in hand in fighting wildfires, and
obviously their efforts can only be successful if they have adequate resources.
I urge approval of SB 1141.
Respectfully submitted,
Harry Kim
Mayor, County of Hawaiʻi
