A. Transportation and Public Safety: Committee Chair Evans
1) Motion: The KNB strongly urges the Mayor and City Council to create a Park Ranger Program to be implemented and administered by the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) and that the District Commanders will have control over the rangers; additional funding will be added to the HPD budget for the Park Ranger Division.
Brief Description of the proposed program:
The mission of the rangers would be to improve the quality and safety of the active parks and beaches in the City & County of Honolulu for the enjoyment of the community and to serve as a resource to park patrons. This would be accomplished through professional, courteous, and competent service and utilization of creative and ethical crime prevention/problem solving practices. The rangers would be considered peace officers employed by HPD. The division would operate under the community policing philosophy, responding to the needs of its patrons and employees of the park and beach lands.
2) Motion: The KNB requests that the DTS implement a six-month pilot project of NO PARKING along the beach side of Kawailoa Road for Kailua Beach Parks "A" & "B". Parking would be prohibited from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. seven days a week. Appropriate signs to be installed.
3) Motion: The KNB requests that the Parks & Recreation Department implement a regular maintenance schedule for trimming of the Naupaka at Kailua Beach Park "A" & "B". The Naupaka should be no more than 2-3 feet high and four feet wide.
B. Government and Community Services:
1) Motion: The KNB supports qualifying exemptions ceasing at date of sale of improved
residential property.
2) Motion: In order to improve residential property tax relief and long-term reform in the KNB
Neighborhood supports a holiday at the 2005 tax assessment year for a minimum of one fiscal year, which allows the City and County of Honolulu and the State of Hawaii to examine and identify mitigating strategies for reform and long-term relief.
C. Planning, Zoning and the Environment Committee:
