RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 635

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2016

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 635, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Pest Control Board

 

G.M. No. 635

RODNEY ONO,

for a term to expire 06-30-2020,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

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

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Rodney Ono from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Ono's background, experience, and dedication to serving his community qualify him for reappointment to the Pest Control Board as a licensed pest control operator member.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Ono is an entomologist, has been licensed as a pest control operator in Hawaii since 1985, and is the owner of Hilo Termite & Pest Control, Ltd.  Mr. Ono has also been an active member of the Hawaii Pest Control Association for many years, including serving as past President.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Ono has been a member of the Pest Control Board since July 2012 and his valuable insight gained from his years of experience as a licensed pest control operator continue to enhance the effectiveness of the Board.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Ono be considered for reappointment to the Pest Control Board based on his knowledge, experience, and commitment to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health 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, Consumer Protection, and Health,
