KUBA, Acting Deputy Director SUBJECT: DRAFT 2 BILL TO AMEND CIIAPTER 22 -STREETS & SIDE~VALI~S This is in response to the concerns raised your July 27, 2001 memorandum. 1. meals Process -References to the Board of Appals are found in Section 22-8.2. (e), (f) and (g). 2. Corrranercial Use of Streets -Because commercial uses will involve property management issues such as rental rates, collection of rent, default provisions, etc., our Finance Department should handle this matter. For your information the Finance Department is looking into the feasibility of establishing a property manager. The property manager will be responsible for the sale, leasing, licensing or permitting of County real property. This Department will work with the property manager to advise him of impacts on public works facilities. 3. Police Depart~rtent -Comments were solicited from the Police Department. A copy of their comments is attached. Civil Defense and Fire were not contacted as there are no issues that directly affect them. We will solicit comment from them before we submit Draft 2.

FROM: Councilmember Leningrad Elan no Chair, Committee On Public Wo ks And Intergovernmental Relations RE: Chapter 22 -Streets And Sidewalks IPevisions Forwarded for your review are the minutes from workshops held on February 7 and March 22, 2001 in relation to the above matter. This information should assist you in preparing a second draft for Committee review. After further review of Bill No. 225, I present the following items for your consideration. Appeal Process Section/Clause -The current draft of the bill does not include one. Identifying the Board of Appeals may be appropriate. Commercial Use Of Streets -All other county codes presently make provisions for Peddler Permits and also exempt flowers and vegetables from needing such. The intent of Bill No. 225 is to do away with Peddler Permits, etc. and have the Council issue licenses or negotiate leases for these individuals pursuant to Hawaii County Code, Chapter 2. To accomplish these changes will the Council need to adopt a clear policy for your department to implement? Or is your department already prepared to handle the application process and then refer it the Council? Police Department -Forwarded recently to you, by Legislative Assistant Charmaine T. Doran was a draft bill to amend Chapter 22 from Capt. John Dawrs and Deputy Managing Director Peter Young. It is apparent that many departments may have forgotten or are unaware of your efforts with this chapter. Forwarding this draft to the Police Chief as well as other affected departments like Fire and the Civil Defense Agency for comment may prevent further efforts from overlapping. To ensure a thorough review it could be necessary for you to conduct amini- workshop for these individuals. I know this comprehensive intergovernmental approach for county legislation is not common place, but knowing where these departments stand will be helpful to the Council, especially from the point of support. DISTRICT 9 Kohala, Waimea, Waikoloa, Kawaihae Cllr. Galen Kuba, Deputy Director July 27, 2001 Page 2 Chapter 22 Speed Humps -Please inform me of how many humps were installed after your department adopted the Administrative Rules. In light of your promotion, I understand you are extremely busy. Please know that if there is anyway that I may assist you in expediting this matter, do not hesitate to ask either Charmaine or myself. Thank you for your assistance and continued diligence with this project. LE/ctd Attachment _ _ _ _ vdcv oa H~ 4~ ~1~%~ William G.
