RE: Resolution No. 148-97
Chapter 3 Task Force
Anticipating the passage of Resolution No. 148-97 which creates a Task Force to review
Chapter 3 relating Advertising and Signs, our office has met with the Department of Public
Works and the Office of the Corporation Counsel in scoping the activities of the Task Force.
We have come up with a project proposal in view of the short timeframe given the Task
Force. Please note that the public hearing and comment period lasts about one month.
Although a mailing list of various organizations has been compiled, each council member's
personal effort in seeking input from constituents during this one month period is an important
component in assuring participation. However, if an organization is unable to provide
comment, public review of the preliminary draft bill is certainly provided when it is referred
to Committee.

In reviewing Chapter 3, we will probably provide comments, not revisions, to Article 2
relating to Kailua Village Signs. I consider Article 2 to be a subset of Chapter 3 and, until the
basic policies are established, we may not be able to proceed with special district regulations.
Should you have any comments, please feel free to contact me.
