Dear Chair Dela Cruz, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, 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. Better yet, please include the positions and appropriate funding in the
Senate version of the Budget.
R- pectfully Submitted,
c
Harry Kim
