Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred
Communication No. 507 and Bill 138, reports as follows:
Bill 138, transmitted by Director of Public Works Warren H.W. Lee, via Communication
No. 507, dated August 25, 2009, amends Chapter 24, article 10, division 1, section 24-254
(schedule 2. 20 mile per hour limit), paragraph (f), Kona, of the Hawaii County Code 1983
(2005 Edition, as amended), by adding the following subparagraph, to be appropriately numbered
and to read as follows:
"O Kealakaa Street in the school zone fronting Kealakehe Elementary
School, from a point five hundred ninety feet north of Palani Road
and extending one thousand six hundred forty feet in the northerly
direction while speed limit sign beacons are flashing."
There was no testimony from the public on this proposed bill.
Traffic Division Chief Ron Thiel appeared before Your Committee. Mr. Thiel commented that this
amendment is based on an effort to enhance driver awareness of the Kealakehe Elementary school zone.
This will minimize risk to school children by modifying the traffic signage and school speed limit to 20
MPH on Kealakaa Street fronting the school.
Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations is in accord with the purpose and
intent of Bill 138 and recommends passage at first reading.
