Form #:B-52 <br />7/18/91 <br />DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />STAFF CONTACT: <br />FINANCE DATE: <br />LEE LORD <br />July 17 2009 <br />PHONE: 961-8021 <br />A. REQUEST: <br />We are requesting to amend the Hawaii County Code regarding Moped Registrations and Safety Checks. <br />B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br />During the past year, an issue had been identified where some two wheeled vehicles are being sold and <br />bought as Mopeds and they do not fit into the specifications of Moped, but fit the specifications of <br />Motorcycle. <br />The amendment to the County Code makes it clearer that prior to registering a Moped as a Moped/Bicycle <br />the owner would have to present their Safety Check Inspection documentation to the Motor Vehicle <br />Registration staff. The Safety Check Stations are trained to discern if a two wheeled vehicle presented for <br />inspection meets the Moped or Motorcycle category and will code the Safety Check Inspection sheet to <br />identify as such. In this manner no vehicles which meet motorcycle standards will be registered as Mopeds. <br />SIGNED: DATE: ~ ~~ <br />epartment Hea <br />
