Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 638, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of:

 

Pest Control Board

 

G.M. No. 638

JONATHAN MONTALBO,

for a term to expire 6-30-2017,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Jonathan Montalbo to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the Pest Control Board.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Jonathan Montalbo from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Hawaii Pest Control Association, and two individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Montalbo's background, experience, and commitment to serving the public qualify him for appointment to the Pest Control Board as a licensed pest control operator member.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Montalbo has been in the pest control industry since 1998, has maintained a pest control operator's license since 2007, and is the President of Aloha Termite Kauai, Inc., in Lihue, Kauai.  Mr. Montalbo is an active member of the Hawaii Pest Control Association, where he previously served as President of the Board of Directors and as the Association's Conference Chair.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Montalbo has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and will bring a valuable neighbor island perspective to the Pest Control Board.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Montalbo be appointed to the Pest Control Board based on his knowledge, experience, and dedication to his profession.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
