REPORT OF THE <br /> POLICY COMMITTEE ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND ASSETS <br /> DATE: September 3, 2024 Re: Comm. No. 884/Bill No. 165 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> Hilo, Hawai`i <br /> TIME: 1:00 p.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawai`i 96720 <br /> Your Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets, to which was referred Bill No. 165, reports <br /> as follows: <br /> Bill No. 165, transmitted by Council Member Cindy Evans via Communication No. 884, dated <br /> May 7, 2024, amends Chapter 24, Article 10 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as <br /> Amended), Relating to Parking. <br /> This bill seeks to change the County Building parking lot located at 25 Aupuni Street in Hilo <br /> from a two-hour metered parking zone to a two-hour parking area. <br /> This bill was previously heard and postponed on June 4 and 18, 2024, and July 23, 2024. <br /> Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets Meeting of June 4, 2024 <br /> There was a motion to postpone by Committee Member Heather Kimball with a second by <br /> Committee Member Ashley Kierkiewicz to the next meeting scheduled for June 18, 2024, and <br /> approved with 8 ayes and Committee Member Evans excused. <br /> Policy Committee on Infrastructure and Assets Meeting of June 18, 2024 <br /> Committee Member Evans expressed wanting to make the parking situation consistent across the <br /> facilities. <br /> Committee Member Jennifer Kagiwada felt this was not necessary since it does not appear <br /> problematic, and Director Pause had no opinion one way or another. <br /> Director Pause explained there are other metered parking areas in downtown Hilo which keeps <br /> our parking monitor busy, especially with the increased construction activity at our facilities. He <br /> stated there is more research needed as we also consider a maintenance plan. Director Pause <br /> requested a month to gather more information. He also remarked that he is investigating charging <br /> stations with the State Department of Transportation so there is a lot more to this parking issue <br /> than just meters in this particular lot. Committee Member Kagiwada requested information on <br /> the costs of labor increase for the parking monitor. <br /> PCIA Report No. 13 <br />
