GOEAC-139 Page 2 May 14,2024 <br /> Governmental Operations and External Affairs Committee Meeting of May 1, 2024 <br /> Member Inaba moved to postpone Bill No. 138 to the Governmental Operations and External <br /> Affairs Committee meeting of May 14, 2024. The committee passed the motion. <br /> Governmental Operations and External Affairs Committee Meeting of May 14 ,2024 <br /> Member Cindy Evans led the discussion and moved to amend Bill No. 138 with the contents of <br /> Communication 760.6. <br /> Hawai`i County Planning Department Deputy Director Jeffrey Darrow was present in the Hilo <br /> Chambers to provide comments on the amendment and explained that the Planning Department <br /> staff is working with a new system to generate reports. He also expressed his concern that <br /> including Short Term Vacation Rental applications would largely increase the size of the report. <br /> Member Kagiwada stated that Short Term Vacation Rental information should be included in a <br /> separate report and would not support the amendment. Member Kimball concurred. <br /> Member Evans withdrew Communication No. 760.6 and moved to amend Bill 138 with the <br /> contents of 760.7, with a second from Member Inaba. After some discussion, the motion passed <br /> unanimously. <br /> Member Kimball noted that given the timing of when this bill would go into effect, it would not <br /> be reasonable to expect the Planning Department to produce a meaningful report in that short of <br /> a time. Member Sue L.K. Lee Loy agreed and suggested that the bill go into effect July 1, 2024, <br /> so that the Planning Department could present their report to the Council in <br /> January 2025. <br /> Your Committee on Governmental Operations and External Affairs is in accord with the purpose <br /> and intent of Bill No. 138, as amended to Draft 2, and recommends its adoption. <br /> ja <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> EVANS X <br /> GALIMBA x COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL <br /> INABA x OPERATIONS AND <br /> KAGIWADA x EX RNAL AFFAIRS <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X L--� <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X <br /> KIMBALL x CINDY E S, CHAIR <br /> LEE LOY X GOEAC REPORT NO.: 139 <br /> VILLEGAS X ADOPTED: JUN 0 5 2U 4 <br />
