p"dAs- October As- A October 26, 202'1, HSAC Meeting Minutes : "age 1 10 Honolulu Resolution 21-236. RELATING TO THE INCLUSION IN THE 2022 HAWAII STATE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES' LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE OF A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE THE COUNTIES TO EMPLOY A POWER OF SALE TO COLLECT UNPAID CIVIL FINES, FEES, AND CHARGES, OR CLEAN-UP AND REMOVAL COSTS FOR A PUBLIC NUISANCE OR VIOLATION OF CERTAIN COUNTY ORDINANCES. CM Waters: Honolulu City Council approved 21-236Reso. Half a million dollar fines go unpaid, and it is a long process. Have to go through the courts. Folks get away with not complying with the law, corp counsel could come in and foreclose on the properties. This would encourage them to comply and would not have to go through this process. If they have not paid their fines in 3 years, then they get a lien. George White:Adds non judicial foreclosure powers to the counties authorities under HRS 46-1.5. Allows departments like IPP to take action upon liens via non judicial foreclosure. Allows the county to non judicially foreclose on set fines and liens they have in place. CM Kimball: OK to include, will run it by council. CMPaltin: discussion on whether this would impact and create more homelessness if can foreclose without a judicial system. CM Waters: Honolulu has been reducing the fines. Seems that it is not that they cannot pay the fines, but they refuse. Could be a tool for short term rentals as well. CMPaltin: Would be a discretionary authority, not mandatory. CM Waters: Could put in triggers into the bill so that it only activates after a certain point. The DPP requested the bill. CMPaltin: Work in the triggers into the bill language for next year. CM Waters: Withdraws the measure. No further action. Honolulu Resolution.
