RESOLUTION
urging the Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu to fully staff its Division of Motor Vehicles Waianae driver license branch and increase its hours of operation to five days per week.
WHEREAS, a motor vehicle makes meeting the demands of employment and personal life accomplishable, particularly in rural areas of the City and County of Honolulu; and
WHEREAS, to legally operate a motor vehicle, the owner of the vehicle must, among other things, obtain a driver's license; and
WHEREAS, for residents of the Waianae Coast of the City and County of Honolulu, the Waianae Driver License Branch of the City's Department of Customer Services Division of Motor Vehicles, located at the Waianae Neighborhood Community Center, is a convenient location to procure county services, including those related to driver's licenses and parking permits for the disabled; and
WHEREAS, although the location of the Waianae Driver License Branch is convenient for Waianae residents in need of services and information, the Branch is understaffed and has limited hours of operation from 7:45 AM to 4:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays only, with no service during the lunch-hour, which severely restricts the public's opportunity to avail themselves of the important services available at the Branch; and
WHEREAS, the closest alternate Driver License Branch for Waianae residents is located in Kapolei, over twelve miles and approximately a half-hour by car from the Waianae Branch, and a trip to this location requires Waianae residents to take more time away from work, school, and family life to conduct routine business at the Driver License Branch; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, the Senate concurring, that the City and County of Honolulu Department of Customer Services is requested to fully staff its Division of Motor Vehicles Waianae Driver License Branch and increase its hours of operation to five days per week; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Mayor, Chairperson of the City Council, and Director of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu.
