Cullen, Vice Chair <br />Committee on Finance <br />Dear Chair Luke, Vice Chair Cullen, and Committee Members: <br />RE: HB 425, HD1 Relating to Water Quality Monitoring <br />Thank you for this opportunity to support HB 425, HD1. <br />The Department of Health has only one water quality resident inspector for the entire County of Hawaii. <br />This has been an ongoing issue, especially for the Keaukaha community in Hilo, and really should be <br />remedied. As can be seen from HB 425, HD1, the investment is small, but apparently it has never quite made <br />the priority list of the Administration. <br />Please act favorably on HB 425, HD1, or even better, please consider including this position in the <br />House version of the State budget. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Harry Ki <br />MAYOR <br />County of Hawai`i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
