HONORABLE PETE HOFFMANN COUNCIL CHAIRPERSON ~
AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL w
HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL
COUNTY OF HAWAII
HILO HI 96720
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE GIVING THE MAYOR OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII THE
AUTHORITY TO WAIVE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS AS PROVIDED BY
CHAPTERS 3 (ADVERTISING & SIGNS), 5 (BUILDING), 9 (ELECTRICITY),
17 (PLUMBING), 20 (WAIVER OF TIP FEES FOR LANDFILL FOR
EMERGENCY DEBRIS), 22 (STREETS & SIDEWALKS), AND 25 (ZONING)
OF THE HAWAII COUNTY
Transmitted herewith for the Council's approval is a second emergency ordinance authorizing the
Mayor to waive certain requirements of the Hawaii County Code in order to expedite repairs and
reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure damaged by the earthquake that struck Hawaii Island
the morning of October 15, 2006.
The Council passed a similar ordinance, Ordinance No. 06-130 on October 24, 2006. This
ordinance is automatically repealed on the 61st day following its adoption, which would be
December 24, 2006.
We are proposing the new ordinance to provide additional time for people to obtain the necessary
permits to repair damages received from the October 15, 2006, earthquake. We have building
owners, because of the extent of damage, who will not be able to apply by December 24, 2006 for
their needed permits and therefore, eligible for the waiver.
I ask that this be waived to full Counci] in order to provide needed assistance to our citizens.
APPROVED:
RUCE C. McCLURE, P. E. HARRY KIM
