Committee Chair Kagawa, requesting
the presence of the Deputy County

The Committee proceeded on its agenda item as follows:
Bill No. 2612 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 14,
KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED,
RELATING TO THE PLUMBING CODE (This item was
deferred to June 19, 2019.)
Committee Chair Kagawa: Before we take the motion to defer because we
cannot take testimony or anything before we take the motion, I want to see if anyone
wants to testify. The motion would be to defer to June and the reason is because
Councilmember Kuali`i is excused and we need his vote on the Plumbing Code. Is
there anyone that wishes to testify on the Plumbing Code?
