Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Public Works , to which was referred
Communication 522, and its attached Bill 168 , reports as follows:
Communication 522 is a transmittal letter which submits for Council
consideration, Bill 168 and its transmittal letter from the
Corporation Counsel .
The purpose of Bill 168 is to amend Chapter 22, Article 1 ,
Division 5 , Sections 22-21 , 22-24 , and 22-25 of the Hawaii County
Code 1983 by amending its provisions which regulate the use of
sidewalks within the city limits of Hilo to permit cafe table
services on public sidewalks . In amending the regulated and
permitted use of public sidewalks, Bill 168 also expands the prior
seven-day permit period applicable to merchandise sales on sidewalks
to one year .
Your Committee is cognizant of the comments in the
Corporation Counsel 's transmittal letter with respect to perpetual
sidewalk sales and a suggested need for guidelines on requiring
adequate insurance to back up County indemnification . Your Committee
is supportive of the revitalization of Downtown Hilo and finds , all
things considered, that this measure will help make the downtown
business climate more attractive .
Your Committee on Public Works, is in agreement with the purpose of
Bill 168 and recommends that it sass first re- sing .
