Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 625

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 625, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

Cable Advisory Board

G.M. No. 625

TIMOTHY O. BRYAN, for a term to expire 6-30-2019.  (Cable Advisory Board amended to Cable Advisory Committee by GM756.),

begs leave to report as follows:

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Timothy O. Bryan to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the Cable Advisory Committee.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Timothy O. Bryan from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and one individual.

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Bryan's background, commitment to serving the community, and experience on the Cable Advisory Committee qualify him for reappointment to the Cable Advisory Committee.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Bryan has worked in various capacities in the television industry since 1976, and is currently a producer, director, and freelance cameraman for Tim O. Bryan Video Production Services in Volcano, Hawaii.  Mr. Bryan's diverse experience in the broadcasting and communications industry also includes prior service as a board member and President of the Big Island Press Club and board member of Na Leo O Hawaii Community Access Television.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Bryan was first appointed to the Cable Advisory Committee in April 2014 pursuant to G.M. No. 698 and his experience as the Hawaii County member continues to bring a valuable neighbor island perspective to the Committee.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Bryan be reappointed to the Cable Advisory Committee based on his knowledge, experience, and dedication to public service.

     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,
