Your Committee on Public Safety and Parks and Recreation, to which was referred
Bill 327, reports as follows:
Bill 327, transmitted by Council Member K. Angel Pilago, via Communication No. 1333, dated

Airport Park to include the Old Kona Airport Park in the Department of Parks and Recreation's
facilities schedule.
The bill also adds the Old Kona Airport Park picnic pavilions and events pavilion, excluding the
runway and park areas surrounding the runway, Pawai Bay, and the park area at the end of the
runway, to the list of public places requiring permits for intoxicating liquor between the hours of
10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Committee Member K. Angel Pilago stated that he was introducing the bill to allow the County
to take official ownership of the area and to clarify permitted use of intoxicating liquor.
Committee Member Pilago also stated that credit needs to be given to Committee Member
Dominic Yagong for bringing this matter to his attention.
There was no public testimony. Committee Members Dominic Yagong and Emily Naeole
stated that they were in support of the bill.
Your Committee on Public Safety and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose and
intent of Bill 327, and recommends it pass first reading.
