AMENDMENT TO BILL 115 : :
MR. DE LIMA: Yes, Mr. Chairman, during the committee
discussion, it was indicated that all they needed was
one parking stall for the lifeguard assigned to the
beach. We had hoped that the bill could be amended
to indicate that requirement.
I would suggest that between now and second reading
that we have staff work on an amendment to amend the
section to read that the "Chief Engineer is hereby
authorized to designate and identify one special
parking stall, " and then at the end of the paragraph,
adding the words, "during the working hours of the
lifeguard. "
That way, only when the lifeguard is actually there
and working would the stall be actually reserved.
There' s a tremendous parking problem at Honolii Beach
Park. If the lifeguard is not on duty in the early
mornings or the afternoons when people are still
surfing, it would seem to be imprudent for a stall to
be reserved and people instructed not to park when no
one is going to utilize it anyway.
So, the hope is that they would identify the time
when the lifeguard would be present, and the days
that he would be present, on the "RESERVED" sign. I
think by making such an amendment, it would take care
of those concerns .
CHR. SCHUTTE: Mr. De Lima, do you want to make that
amendment now to this bill?
AMENDMENT: Mr. De Lima moved to amend Bill 115 as
indicated. Seconded by Mr. Rosehill .
CHR. SCHUTTE: It ' s been moved and seconded that
Bill 115 be amended as indicated, and that is to
impose the change so that there will be one parking
stall provided for a lifeguard during the time of his
working hours . All right, any other additions?
Mrs . Bonk-Abramson.
