From:Gail Kelly To:LPCtestimony Subject:Oppose Item #4 Date:Sunday, September 15, 2024 3:02:18 PM I am a Biofeedback Specialist. My FDA approved medical device is very sophisticated, used by NASA as well as olympic athletes. I help people with many different health complaints ranging from pain (migraines, back, neck, etc.) and hormone imbalances, depression, addiction and allergies to simple complaints of sleeplessness. Many people are sensitive to frequencies emitted from electrical power lines, transformers, cell and telecom towers. The EMFs and radiation are measurable on the medical device and show impairments. There is a palpable feeling of anxiousness and anxiety added to our lives. There is more anger and impatience. Many people moved to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to get away from "civilization". We want clean water and air. This type of environmental pollution needs to be reined in. More thought given about protection from telecom towers and for radiation prevention, especially for our children. There are engineering solutions available given by people smarter than I. 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! 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. Gail Kelly HC 1 Box 5383 Keaau, HI 96749 575.491.6549
