33:15TO TESTIFY.
33:17LIKE TO START WITH BILL 50.
33:19COMMENT ON THIS.
33:21WITH RESPECT TO MOBILITY.
33:23VEHICLES.
33:24AND THE ABILITY OF THE CITY TO
33:25JUST TAKE THEM AWAY IF THEY'RE
33:28PARKED PROPERLY.
33:28I'M JUST WONDERERING HOW THAT
33:30WOULD WORK WHEN YOU HAVE
33:31SITUATION LIKE BIKI.
33:33WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE RENTED
33:35AND NENE OW OWN THEN OWN, SR
33:38RESPONSIBLE IN OWNER IS
33:39RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING OUT
33:41WHERE THE VEHICLE IS IF IT'S
33:42TAKEN AWAY, SO PART OF YOUR
33:44DISCUSSION, I WOULD LIKE TO
33:45MAKE HAVE YOU MAKE THAT CLEAR.
33:47WHAT HAPPENS IF A VEHICLE IS
33:48REMOVED BUT THE USER IS NOT
33:51THE OWNER.
33:52SO HOW DID THE OWNER GET THAT
33:53VEHICLE BACK?
33:54OR HOW DID THAT PERSON OR
33:56ENTITY N NOTIFY?
33:58MAUI COMMENTS ON BILL 58.
34:00MY COMMENTS.
34:00WITH SPREE EXPECT TO BILL AT N
34:03TRANSIT ADDS, I SUPPORT THIS.
34:05I KNOW THAT THERE ARE GOING TO
34:06BE SOME PEOPLE GOING TO PUSH
34:08BACK AGAINST IT.
34:09AS YOU KNOW, FARES AND RI
34:11RIDERSHIP JUST HAVE NOT TOUR
34:12HELICOPTER KEPT UP WITH THE COS.
34:16RAIL FALL NCAA THAT SAME
34:17SITUATION.
34:18WE HAD A FARE RECOVERY POLICY
34:21THAT YOU FOLKS REMOVED ABOUT A
34:22YEAR AGO.
34:23AND BECAUSE IT WASN'T BEING
34:24MET.
34:26AND SO NOW, MOST OF THE COST
34:29ACTUALLY FOR A LONG TIME, MOST
34:30THE COST HAVE BEEN BORN BY TAX
34:32PAIRS.
34:34SO THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT TO.
34:37YOU KNOW, IN MOST CITY WES
34:38ALREADY HAVE ADS ON BUSSES AND
34:41OTHER PUBLIC TRANSIT.
34:42I DON'T THINK THIS IS ANYTHING
34:45THAT IS EARTH SHALL SHATT
34:47SHATTERING.
34:48AS LONG AS THOSE RULES ARE
34:48THERE IN PLACE, YOU CAN'T PUT
34:52CAMPAIGN ADS AND THAT KIND YOU
34:53HAVE THING.
34:54OTHERWISE I SUPPORT THIS.
34:56>>Chair Waters: NEXT ONE
34:58IS BILL 60.
34:59AND T THIS ONE, FIRST OF FIRST
35:02OF ALL, WRITTEN TESTIMONY.
35:03I POLL GIDS.
35:04HAD HEADER WROG.
35:05RECALL BASICALLY I SUPPORT THE
35:07WRONG.
35:08IDEA OF CITY, ACCESSING OTHER
35:12DATA IS THE SETS IN CITY.
35:14BUT ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE PRIVATE
35:18INFORMATION BEING REQUIRED TO
35:21HAVE CITY ACCESS.
35:23YOU KNOW, UNTIL A BILL
35:26SPECIFICALLY ASSET SAPS
35:27UTILITIES.
35:28HOWEVER, THERE IS NOTHING TO
35:29STOP THE CITY FROM GETTING
35:31BANK INFORMATION, OR HEALTH
35:33INFORMATION FOR THE ONE. ON
35:39ONES, EXEMPTIONS, ESCAPES ME
35:41AT THIS MONSTER HOME.
35:42HOWEVER, THERE IS A BLANKET
35:45AUTHORIZATION THERE.

50:08APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT IT.
50:09I'M GOING TO VERBAL I WILL SAY
50:11WWHAT I THINK SHOULD BE IN HE
50:12HERE.
50:12SECTION ON PAGE 14 AND 5.
50:15DISCUSSING EAST KAPOLEI
50:16NEIGHBORHOOD T.O.D. PLAN.

50:35INCLUDES MULTIUSE PATH,
50:37CULTIVATE COMMUNITY USES, AND
50:38ACTIVE STREETS ESCAPES.
50:39THOSE ARE ALL GOOD.
50:40I LOVE ALL OF THIS HE IS
50:41DISCUSSIONS.
50:42BUT REAL THING WE NEED TO P PUT
50:46IN PROMOTE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
50:47WE HAVE AT THE RAIL STATION
50:48LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE USING
50:49THE RAIL.
50:50WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT.
50:51BUT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THE.
50:53PAYING LOT IS U.H. WEST OAHU
50:55SIDE.
50:56THAT M.
50:56U IS GOING TO EXPIRE 2031.
50:59CITY PROPOSES TO BUILD 1100
51:00STALL ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE
51:02STREET.
51:02WHERE THERE IS NOT A
51:03PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS.
51:05I DID TALK WITH HART.
51:06NO INTENTION TO CREATING ONE
51:08THERE.
51:09SO IT WOULD BE PEOPLE PARKING
51:11ON THE TOWNSIDE WALKING ACROSS
51:11THE STREET, GOING UP AND OVER
51:14BACK TO WHERE THEIR CARS ARE
51:15TO CATCH THE RAIL.
51:17SO FOR ME I THINK IS IT
51:18IMPORTANT TO SAY, BECAUSE ONCE
51:19HART DELIVERS THE AS END, RA
51:22RAIL, TYPICALLY MOVING ON TO
51:23THE NEXT STATION.
51:24DTS IS OPERATING THE AS SE ASSE.
51:30KNOW SOMEONE CATCHING SMALL
51:30PIECE OF SAFETY AND CAPS WE
51:32SHOULD ADDRESS.
51:32I WANT TO BRING THAT UP
51:34BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
51:35AND I'M ACTIVELY IN
51:36CONVERSATION WITH HARTER AND
51:37WITH U.H. WEST OAHU THAT WE
51:39MIGHT MOUNTAIN PEDESTRIAN

51:59THANK YOU TO DPP FOR THEIR
52:00WORK ON THIS.
52:01I AM GOING TO BE PROPOSING
52:02OTHER THINGS MOVING FORWARD.
52:03THAT MIGHT ADDRESS IT.
52:04THAT WEREN'T ABLE TO BE

52:07BUT I THINK ALL OF THE
52:08HONOULIULI AREAS ESPECIALLY
52:10BECAUSE WE HAVE SCHOOLS OVER
52:11THERE, CAN ALL ATTEST THAT.
52:13PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, AND JUST
52:14SAFETY IN THE AREA, SHOULD BE
52:16UTMOST CONCERN.

1:08:22BUT GOING BACK AND FORTH ON
1:08:24DATA POINTS, ON HOW WE CAN
1:08:26REALLY CRACK DOWN ON THINGS,
1:08:27I'M A KIND OF PERSON, I WANT
1:08:29TO SEE A CHANGE.
1:08:30I DON'T WANT TO SEE REVOLVING
1:08:31DOOR.
1:08:32HE PROVIDED A LOT OF GOOD
1:08:33INFORMATION.
1:08:34THAT I NEEDED TO SEE.
1:08:35SO THAT I CAN KIND OF SEE
1:08:36WHERE THE BREAK POINTS ARE.
1:08:38JUST FEW SUGGESTIONS.
1:08:39FOR HPD.
1:08:39BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE SOME
1:08:42LAWS ON BOOKS THAT WE CAN USE
1:08:44THAT WOULD EVEN FURTHER STREET
1:08:45EN US HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS
1:08:46EVEN MORE.
1:08:47STRENGTHEN USES IN SUPPORT OF
1:08:49THIS INCREASE IN VIOLATION.
1:08:50BUT ON THE BOOKS, ALREADY
1:08:51OPERATING WITHOUT A LICENSE,
1:08:52FIRST VIOLATION, 500 OR 40% OF
1:08:55THE ASSETS WIND FARM IS GREAT
1:08:56YOU ARE.
1:08:56AND THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN
1:08:59UTILIZE HRS I DON'T THINK WE
1:09:01HAVE.
1:09:01AND PERHAPS DCCA CAN KIND OF
1:09:03CLOSE DOOR ON THAT.
1:09:04RECALL SECOND ONE IS THERE IS

1:09:08OPERATORS.

1:09:10THEY DID NOT HAVE A TOUR
1:09:12OPERATING LICENSE.
1:09:12SO DIFFERENT BUT IF THERE ARE
1:09:14TOUR OPERATORS WHICH IS
1:09:15SEPARATE JUST A BUSINESS
1:09:16LICENSE, THEY'RE ALSO IS A
1:09:18PENALTY FOR THAT.
1:09:18IIN THE FIRST VIOLATION IS A
1:09:20THOUSAND DOLLARS.
1:09:21I THINK IT IF YOU GUYS CAN
1:09:23KIND OF DOUBLE UP AND USE PULL
1:09:24MUNAK TILL PARTS LAW.
1:09:25MULTIPLE PART LAW.
1:09:26WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS STOPS.

1:09:56THIS TOPIC.
1:09:56REALLY IS A BIG DEAL FOR US
1:09:59NOT JUST PEOPLE SELLING LEIS
1:10:01OR FISH OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
1:10:02THIS IS ACTUALLY LIKE THE WIP
1:10:05PRESIDENT SAID.
1:10:07THIS IS RECALL VERY, VERY
1:10:08ORGANIZED.
1:10:09AND A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ARER
1:10:11SORT OF SELLING TOURS, NOT OF
1:10:13THEIR OWN ON EFFECTIVE
1:10:15THURSDAY COMPANY, SELLING TO
1:10:16OTHER COMPANY. SELLING OTHER
1:10:16COMPANIES.
1:10:17IF THAT MAKE SENSE.
1:10:17I THINK WE NEED O HANDLE ON IT
1:10:20AND WE CREATE A FEW REPORTS.

1:10:38>>Councilmember Weyer: NO
1:10:39WHICH ARE U WORRIES WONDERED
1:10:42GIVEN TESTIMONY
1:10:42>> TO YOU COULD WALK US
1:10:44THROUGH EXACTLY WHAT PEDALING
1:10:47INVOLVE IT'S.
1:10:49AND RESERVATIONS EARLIER, THE
1:10:51PROCESS OF THE BILL WERE FROM
1:10:54SOME OF OUR FISHERMEN OR
1:10:57FARMERS, RUN INTO ISSUES GOING
1:10:58INTO CHINATOWN AND DOING
1:11:00DELIVERIES AND I THINK THERE
1:11:01IS JUST SOME MISUNDERSTANDING.
1:11:03BUT THEN WHEN WE'RE TALKING
1:11:04ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TIMES
1:11:05OFTEN ENGAGEMENT,EL COMMUNITY
1:11:07IS DOING WITHIN INDIVIDUALS,
1:11:09COULD YOU JUST KIND OF WALK

1:11:13>>Testifier:EL OF COURSE,,
1:11:16SO MAINLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
1:11:18PEN PEDESTRIAN MALLS ELD
1:11:18ADDING HAPPENS IN CHINATOWN
1:11:19AND WAIKIKI.
1:11:20SO LAW CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR
1:11:22THE SALE OF FRESH LEIS, FRESH
1:11:24FISH, FRESH VEGETABLES, IN
1:11:26MOST OF THE ISLAND, EXCEPT FOR
1:11:29VERY NARROWLY DEFINED AREAS.
1:11:31ONE OF WHICH IS WAIKIKI.
1:11:32THE OTHER IS CHINATOWN.
1:11:36SO SINCE 2024, WE BEEN ISSUED
1:11:39APPROXIMATELY 100 CITATIONS.
1:11:41FOR PEDALING THOSE AREAS.
1:11:43I THINK THERE WAS ONE IN
1:11:44WAIANAE SIDE.
1:11:45BUT THE VAST MAJORITY, 99% OF
1:11:48THEM WERE NO CHINATOWN AND
1:11:50WAIKIKI.
1:11:52AND SO GIVE YOU FEW STATS.
1:11:54NEARLY 50% OF THOSE WERE
1:11:56REPEAT OFFENDERS.
1:11:57AND SO WE'RE CITING SAME
1:11:59PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
1:12:01ONE LATIN AMERICAN CITE IT
1:12:02FOUR TIME OR FOUR OCCASIONS IN

1:12:16STAT.
1:12:1636% OF THOSE, THAT WENT TO
1:12:18COURT, PLEADED NOT GUILTY OR
1:12:22NO CONTEST.
1:12:22I THINK IS PRETTY GOOD
1:12:24PERCENTAGE.
1:12:25AND MOST COMMON FINE WAS A
1:12:28$100.
1:12:28I THINK SHOWS NEED FOR US TO

1:12:33DECREASE RECIDIVISM.

2:19:51LIKE FROM KEKAHA A A AND I TOAR
2:19:55KNOW IF THESE TWO LIFESTYLES
2:19:56CANEL MIX REALLY WELL.
2:19:58BECAUSE IT'S PART OF S
2:20:00SIMULATION AND MY ISSUE ALWAYS

2:25:05IN FACT, EVERY HOUSING PROJECT
2:25:08OF THIS SIZE NEEDS TO HAVE
2:25:09SOME TYPE OF TRAFFIC
2:25:10IMPROVEMENT.
2:25:11BECAUSE THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT
