From: Paciencia Masters <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Oppose Item#4 <br /> Date: Thursday,September 19,2024 9:16:14 AM <br /> Dear Hawaii County Council <br /> There is not equal protection and understanding about the health of us as people who <br /> live in the community. The wants and needs of the telecommunications industry and <br /> their business and profits are being given more and more support. <br /> I oppose Item #4. 1 support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed <br /> telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you. <br /> The new ordinance proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the <br /> telecommunications industry with not enough protections for our community. <br /> It gives almost total power to Planning with no other agencies or experts involved! It <br /> rushes the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to protect us <br /> against 5G small cells! It allows towers at schools and day care centers! <br /> Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, <br /> attainable requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and <br /> welfare needs of the people and the needs of the tech industry. My fervent request is <br /> that equal value is given to the needs of the community. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Kamala Masters <br />
