Dear Mr. Arakaki:
Attached please find copy of a bill that amends Chapter 18 of the Hawaii County Code
that relates to public transportation fares for the Council's review and consideration.
The purpose of this ordinance is to create a new fare-rate for persons using the Hele-On
bus system. It would allow a person an unlimited amount of travel on the bus system
within two areas for a single fare of $5.00 per day. The areas would be in the Hilo region
between Keaau and Papaikou, and in the Kona region between Kailua-Kona and Captain
Cook.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
~ncerely,
Dominic Yag n o n~ipmember

REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: May 4, 1999 Re: Comm. No. 234/Bill No. 63
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 10;45 A.M.
Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 63, reports as follows:
Bill No. 63, transmitted by Council Member Dominic Yagong, via Communication No. 234,
dated Apri16, 1999, amends Chapter I8, Hawaii County Code, relating to public transportation
fares.
The purpose of this ordinance was originally to create a new fare-rate for cruise ship tourists
using the Hele-On bus system. However, in order to be nondiscriminatory this measure proposes
to allow a person an unlimited amount of travel on the bus system within two areas for a single
faze of $5 per day. The areas would be in the Hilo region between Keaau and Papaikou, and in
the Kona region between Kailua-Kona and Captain Cook.
Although in support of Bill No. 63, some of Your Committee members wished to extend the
service azeas. Therefore, an amendment was made to increase the Hilo region to between Pahoa
and Honoka' a, and the Kona region to between Kalaoa and Kealia.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 63, as amended
to Draft 2, and recommends it pass first reading.
