Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 698, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of:

G.M. No. 698

SCOTT AI,

for a term to expire 06-30-2024,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Scott Ai for service on the Pest Control Board.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the reappointment of Scott Ai from the Pest Control Board, Hawaii Pest Control Association, and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Ai's experience, knowledge, and proven leadership on the Pest Control Board qualify him for reappointment to the Pest Control Board as a public member.  Mr. Ai is currently the Vice President of Estimating at Beachside Roofing, LLC.  In addition to working in the construction industry for nearly thirty years in Hawaii and on the mainland, Mr. Ai served as president of the AOAO for Sea Country at Holomoana from 2008 to 2015.  He is also a past president and current vice president for the Roofing Contractors Association of Hawaii and trustee for the Roofer's Local 221 Health & Welfare, Pension, Annuity and Vacation Trust Funds.  Testimony further indicated that his understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and his community service experience will continue to enhance the effectiveness of the Pest Control Board.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Ai has been a member of the Pest Control Board since 2016.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Ai be reappointed to the Pest Control Board based on his experience, knowledge, 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,
