REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation DATE: November 16, 2018
STAFF CONTACT: Reid Sewake PHONE: 961-8560
A. REQUEST:
Pursuant to the Hawaii County Code section 2-139(a)(3)(A), Council approval is requested for a grant award
of$30,000 to the Peoples Advocacy for Trails Hawaii, a 501(c)(3) organization, to expand the bike share
program in Kona from three stations to six stations.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The Department of Parks and Recreation would like to provide a $30,000 grant to Peoples Advocacy for
Trails Hawaii to expand the bike share program in Kona from three stations and 32 bikes to six stations and
59 bikes. Peoples Advocacy for Trails Hawaii is receiving $120,000 in federal Transportation Alternative
Program (TAP) funds through State DOT for this project. The $30,000 in grant funds from the County will
assist with and provide matching funds for the total project cost of$150,000. This expansion project will
benefit an increased portion of the population offering accessibility to bikes for more efficient transit trips and
can replace the need for a personal vehicle. The project will also offer additional recreational activity for the
rise in biking among the elderly population.
The department requests that this bill be waived from Finance Committee and proceed directly for Council's
review to help expedite this project.
