Mr. Kimura's department has had to address problems such as fights, harassment, disorderly <br /> j conduct, etc.; however, driving under the influence is of greatest concern. <br /> <br /> Ocean Safety Captain Christopher Stelfox came and testified in support of this measure based upon the <br /> numerous incidents his ocean safety officers have encountered at Kahalu`u Beach Park, Magic Sands <br /> Beach Park, and Pdhoehoe Beach Park. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wayne Braden testified on this measure and stated that when people are out and about drinking, no <br /> one thinks about delegating a designated driver.
