I’m going to t <br />think the background and recommendation report that we transmitt <br />why this bill is before you. It’s different from the bill that y <br />down from the County Council, which previously tried to include <br />of tsunami sirens as part of plan approval, which is a departmen <br />you recall, the Director did not support that bill, and the Plan <br />Windward, voted to send an unfavorable recommendation. That bill <br />it’s awaiting this bill that the administration put together for <br />in the installation of tsunami sirens as a requirement of concur <br />has undertaken efforts to install sirens at locations throughout <br />that matter, but the amount of monies that have been secured wou <br />are needed to provide adequate coverage. <br />That being said, a concurrency requirement basically specifies t <br />not be approved, if it would cause levels of service of public f <br />baseline. What this proposed bill is attempting to do is basical <br />tsunami siren, then a proposed rezoning or time extension for th <br />requirement shall not be considered, or shall not be approved.
