BILL NO. 246
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE NAMING THE NORTH KOHALA COURTHOUSE AND
AMENDING CHAPTER 15, ARTICLE 8, SECTION 15-68.1 OF THE HAWAII
COUNTY CODE 1983 (2005 EDITION, AS AMENDED), RELATING TO THE PARKS
AND RECREATION FACILITY SCHEDULE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to name the North Kohala
Courthouse Building in Kapa`au, located at 54-3900 Akoni Pule Highway, to "Hale Kealoha `o
Kohala." The County of Hawai `i acquired the parcel from Kohala Sugar Company by deed
recorded on March 31, 1920, and the Judiciary, State of Hawaii, built the North Kohala
Courthouse on the County's parcel in or about 1975. The Judiciary on October 29, 2012,
informed the County of its offer to donate the North Kohala Courthouse building to the County
on an "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" basis with no cost to the County. The County recently began
using this as a gathering place for numerous activities. The residents of North Kohala are proud
that many of these activities will bring seniors together.
It is time to move on from informally calling this building "the old courthouse building"
by naming the building "Hale Kealoha `o Kohala," which can be roughly translated to "love of
Kohala building" or "home of love of Kohala."
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Section 15-67(a)(4)(A) of the Hawaii County Code 1983
(2005 Edition, as amended), which provides that structures within recreational facilities of the
County shall be named for a "neighborhood, community, region, district, or other identifying
geographic location," the North Kohala Courthouse Building in Kapa`au, located on that parcel
specifically identified as Tax Map Key: (3)5-4-005-001, and situated at 54-3900 Akoni Pule
Highway, Kapa`au, in the District of North Kohala, Countv and State of Hawaii is hereby
named "Hale Kealoha `o Kohala."
SECTION 3. Chapter 15, article 8, section 15-68.1 of the Hawaii County Code 1983
(2005 Edition, as amended), is amended by adding a new facility structure name to the "Kohala"
section to be appropriately inserted and to read as follows:
"Hale Kealoha `o Kohala"
SECTION 4. New material is underscored. In printing this ordinance, the underscoring
need not be included.
SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance, or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
application, and to this end, the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.
SECTION 6. This ordinance shall take effect upon its approval.
