Bill > HR12

This resolution urges the City and County of Honolulu to create a permanent program to provide benefits and compensation to communities that host landfills, acknowledging the negative health and environmental impacts such as dust pollution, noise, and odors that residents living near landfills experience, which can lead to increased health problems and costs for medical treatments and home maintenance. It also calls for the establishment of a Program Advisory Group, comprised of community members, to help identify the specific concerns of these host communities and to assist in managing and distributing any compensation or benefits, building on past efforts and recommendations from advisory committees.
