RE: Bill 262 - Amends Chapter 24 relating to Vehicles and Traffic
To establish parking zones at the Aupuni Center
At the October 8, 2002 Public Works Committee, the motion to approve Bill 262
died for a lack of a second. Therefore, the bill has been transmitted to Council with
a negative recommendation.
To assist the council member to understand the importance of establishing the
parking area at the Aupuni Center, we transmit the following comments:
1. Chapter 24, article 10 allows us to enforce any violations in the areas established
in these schedules. Bill 262 amends the schedules to include the new parking
areas at Aupuni Center.
2. Chapter 24, article 8, Division 5 regulates the parking for the County Building.
A forthcoming bill revises Division 5 to authorize Public Works to regulate and
administer parking areas to include Aupuni Center.
3. The 8-hour meter zone may be utilized by county employees, non-county
employees (outside businesses), and the public who choose to park their vehicles
for the 8 hours and feed the meter daily. With no enforcement authority
currently in place, non-county employees are currently parking without a fee.
The 2-hour time limit zone for the public is also abused, regardless if we issue
warnings.
