Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred

The purpose of Bill No. 64 is to amend Chapter 24 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (1995 Edition),
relating to Vehicles and Traffic to include the County owned and private streets of the Nanawale Estates
Subdivision. Communication No. 224 is from Dennis K. W. Lee, Director of the Department of Public
Works, dated May 9, 2001, transmitting Bill No. 64 for the Council's review and consideration.
In Communication No. 224, Mr. Lee reports that the Nanawale Community Association requested that the
privately owned roads be placed in the code to allow appropriate traffic control devices to be installed.
Mr. Lee further states that this amendment will allow the police department to enforce traffic regulations
on these private roadways. The bill also adds portions of the County Highway that are presently not
included within the County traffic code.
During discussion Councilmember J. Curtis Tyler II[ requested that the Department of Public Works
correct the spelling of the word Hapuu to reflect the proper Hawaiian spelling of Hapu`u.
At the request of Committee Chair Elarionoff, the Nanawale Community Association transmitted a letter
supporting Bill No. 64. The Police Department was also contacted at the request of Chair Elarionoff.
They have no objection to the proposed traffic amendment.
Your Committee is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 64 and recommends that it pass
first reading.
