RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE WAIVER OF PARKING METER FEES
WHEREAS, the Downtown Improvement Association (D.I.A.) Parking Committee has
been meeting for several years to discuss downtown Hilo's parking problems and to find
solutions to those problems; and
WHEREAS, the D.I.A Parking Committee has identified the abuse of short term
metered stalls and the inadequate enforcement of those abuses as two specific areas that need
improvement; and
WHEREAS, at its October 29, 1996 meeting the D.I.A. Parking Committee decided that
a practical and economical temporary solution would be to provide free parking in the stalls
bounded'by Kamehameha Avenue, Bayfront Highway and the Mooheau Bus Terminal; and
WHEREAS, providing free parking in this area provides an incentive for people who
need to remain downtown for an extended period of time, such as employees of downtown
businesses, not to abuse the short term stall regulations; and
WHEREAS, eliminating these stalls from the list of those that need parking meter
regulation also provides the appropriate enforcement official more time to enforce other metered
stalls; and
WHEREAS, the Council provided free parking at this location for a six month trial
period which will end on May 3 1, 1997, and
WHEREAS, the DIA has stated that the trial period has been a success and requests that
the free parking be extended to allow for furthur evaluation of the effects of this effort.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
HAW Ail that it dispenses with the enforcement of Chapter 24, Section 24-216, of the Hawaii
County Code 1983, for a six-month period beginning at 8 a.m. on June 1, 1997, and ending at
4:00 p.m on December 31, 1997 for all the metered parking stalls bounded by Kamehameha
Avenue, Bayfront Highway and thy Mooheau Bus Ter~inal.
