Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred Communication Nu. 75G

The purpose of Bill No. 263 is to amend Chapter 2d, article IU, division Z section 2d-292. Schedule d0 (H hour
meter parking zones), relating to Vehicles and 17affic of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (1995 f:dition), by
establishing a new R-hour parking meter zone at the nupuni Center fronting Kilauea nvenuc and new two-hour
parking areas along the northwest (Pauahi Street) and soud~west (Kilauea nvenuc) sides of the nupuni Ccntcr
Building. Communication No. 756 is from Dennis Lee, Director, Department of Public Works, dated September 33.
2002. transmitting the above hill fbr the Council's review and consideration.
This Bill No. 362 was introduced by the Department of Public Works in place of Bill No. 337 regarding the s,une
matter (see PW&IRC Report No. 56). Your Committee first considered this measure on October 8, 2002 (sec
PW&IRC' Report No. i7). During this meeting, a motion to approve this bill died for the luck of a second.
Consequently. your committee transmitted Bill No. 262 to the Council with a negative recommendation. Nits
October 23, 2002 meeting. the Council referred Bill No. 362 back to this cormittee tix further consideration.
During today's committee meeting, Diane Shiro. Business Manager fbr the Department of Public Works. answered
questions about the history and intent of the bill. according Io Ms. Shim's testimony, a parking committee tbrmrd
to review parking matters, produced this bill in an effort to accomplish hvo things: (I) to make county meter fees
comparable to fees being charged al the nearby state parking lot; and (?) to limit and regulate long-term use of
parking stalls a[ the new Aupuni (enter. Ms. Shiro also intixmrd [his coinmittre that the bill was not aimed at
generating further county revenues.
Committee members questioned whether or not a cost analysis of the proposal had Bern conducted and if an
increase or new meter Ices would actually be warranted. The idea of possibly using cun~ent meter patrol staff to
enforce time-limit zones instead of meter usage was also raised.
A motion to approve Bill No. 262 resulted in a tic vote I ~-ayes and 3-noes, with 3 absent & cscused). Pw_euant to
Council Rule No. 13-9(a), this mailer is being referred to the Council with no rcannmendalion.
