Thanks to all of you for your dedication to this group. Last week, you helped by sharing my post and writing ‘oppose’ testimony for the ‘Land Board’ (BLNR meeting). We oppose the Division of Boating (DOBOR’s) idea to spend 180K on a high-tech parking monitoring car, that will lead to TOWING, as the first and only financial penalty. Secure Parking LLC plans to issue two written warnings, before they tow, which will help some.  But overall, it’s bad idea because they will not be issuing normal $35.00 parking tickets (DOCARE/HPD), and instead Secure Parking LLC, will notify the towing company Mr. Tow, directly and electronically to tow cars.

Our response to the Draft RFP written by DOBOR and preliminarily approved by the Board: was to ask legislators to clarify HRS 200-2.5 and HRS 200-2.6 laws, that let the Board to lease or sell harbors and ask the Legislature to intervene and secure a minimum amount of free recreational parking at the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor.

On Feb.8, 2023 Senator Lorriane Inouye, introduced SB 1034, to permanently preserve 300 free recreational public parking stalls (of the 941) at the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor.
