Dear Chair Nishihara, Chair Kahele, and Committee Members:
RE: SB 875 Relating to Making an Appropriation for State Lifeguards
Thank you for this opportunity to testify in support of SB 875, which would fund lifeguard
services at Kua Bay in Kekaha Kai State Park.
Kua Bay is one of the most beautiful locations in the islands, but its hidden hazards can prove
deadly. It is now easily accessible, so for the sake of locals and visitors alike, a lifeguard at that
location is definitely warranted and would be much appreciated.
Please act favorably on SB 875.
Respgctfully Submitted,
Harry Kim
