Eduardo Hernandez, advocacy director for the Hawaii Bicycling League, testified in strong support, calling Beaky a \"multimodal connector\" and urging continued subsidy to maintain equitable access.

Council members also discussed that other climate-resiliency projects originally proposed by the administration had been removed from the package and that the budget chair and administration plan further committee discussion on remaining projects. Director Sullivan (administration) told council members the administration intends to seek further discussion and engage council feedback on the remainder of the projects.

Council Member Tobel stated he voted no on the related package in committee and expressed a desire for clearer prioritization of projects funded by the climate resiliency fund; Council Member Tupelo and others urged a vetting process for fund allocation. The measure to support Beaky was adopted; the transcript notes at least one no vote on the broader package earlier in the meeting.

Discussion vs. action: The action before council was a funds-transfer resolution to support the bikeshare program and it passed; separate decisions on the broader climate-resiliency fund allocation were deferred for further committee review and discussion with the budget chair and administration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-08-06 Regular Council Meeting PT2","oneSentenceSummary","Resolution 25-2-21 authorizing a funds transfer to support the Beaky bikeshare system was adopted after testimony from the Hawaii Bicycling League; council members discussed broader climate-resiliency project prioritization and one member recorded a no vote on a related package.","taxTitle","Honolulu City, Honolulu County, Hawaii","taxId",61746,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6025401,"Council asks city and state climate commission to study feasibility of cooling centers",17,1774000,1791000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5755429-de723ee07d3f704830a4e006796b4c01&start=1774&end=1791","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5755429-de723ee07d3f704830a4e006796b4c01/thumbnail_1774000.jpg","/articles/6025401/Honolulu-City/Honolulu-County/Hawaii/Council-asks-city-and-state-climate-commission-to-study-feasibility-of-cooling-centers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6025401-b6b3e570d251f1e03503a08e9b4d48d5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150835&Signature=Hs3HslroFQFyO1jzcCbt4HyQyKJ4Q-aKz19Et60mPc~9k2wTLm5ND9nqio830T-qnp9jzJ-04YkWn3IFdk0uL7xQ5-nYUuy8tfY1RSuOpDaNi~rzvy7iHUXNThC52Mm7x6DU4wYeiJ6muW4qLrZryub~bAkFjYBafCHQlJ0sV~Yt~1c12WN2~VlrQVag1gtnpDoOKaJD3PXGPPOYIPgCoqMQHhZG084hvs0sIxrz0ru1i-A46YqosyezT7sICeBjWtd7ei2eSWPk-R6puBTZpPL21Ll2WZV0eoD7E3hBXkakjetbzvomLBDPGcUHVJL47HrCMmYTlGC2-fER8EIC4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Honolulu City Council adopted Committee Report 254 and Resolution 25-2-02 requesting that the city administration and the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission investigate the feasibility of establishing cooling centers across the City and County of Honolulu.

Council Member Weier presented the resolution, which asks the administration and the state commission to examine options for siting, operations and staffing of cooling centers to support residents during extreme-heat events.

There was no public testimony recorded in the excerpt, and council members proceeded to adopt the resolution without extended debate. The resolution seeks a feasibility review and does not itself appropriate funds or create an operational program; follow-up steps and potential funding would require further council action if the feasibility study recommends implementation.

Discussion vs. action: Adoption of the resolution directs the requested study (action).

Hakim Wansafi, executive director of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA), testified remotely in strong support, saying the project replaces aging public housing with resilient new homes, concentrates poverty and increases the overall number of affordable units in a mixed-income community. “As of yesterday, all the families have been successfully relocated either to one of our HPHA properties or through the section 8 vouchers that was issued by our agency. And as you know, all relocated household have been guaranteed the right of return to the new units once they are completed,” Wansafi said.

Angela Melody Young testified on behalf of CARES in support, stressing the project’s importance to Filipino American, Micronesian and Pacific Islander households in the Kalihi neighborhood and noting the benefit of an on-site state processing center and social work office.

Council members asked why the county allocation was used for what HPHA described as a state project. Wansafi said the project is located in the City and County of Honolulu and that the county stepped up to provide the bonds in coordination with state and local partners.

The council adopted the resolution; the clerk recorded eight ayes and one member absent.

Council Member Okimoto presented the resolution for explanation, describing the bond issuance and related actions. Mr. Clark (the council clerk) recorded a roll-call vote; the clerk reported nine ayes and the resolution was adopted.

Discussion vs. action: The discussion excerpt focused on the resolution’s purpose—authorizing issuance and related matters—and the council proceeded to a roll-call vote without recorded public testimony in the transcript excerpt. The resolution authorizes bond issuance and related procedural approvals by the director of budget and fiscal services; no further details on project-specific allocations were provided in the excerpt.

The amendment (FD1) revised the segment opening from Oct. 1, 2025 to on or about Oct. 15, 2025, and adjusted suspended-fare dates accordingly; it also added a clause that if service begins after Oct. 15, suspended fares would occur the first consecutive Saturday and Sunday following commencement. The FD1 cites the city’s authority under Section 15B-2.1(d, Revised Ordinances of Honolulu 2021) to suspend fares.

Director Martin of the Department of Transportation Services told council members the light-rail ceremony is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 15, with revenue service to begin the following day. He said the administration proposes making the entire multimodal system free for the opening weekend so island residents can preview the new segment. “We estimate that we would lose about $42,000 in revenue on that Saturday and Sunday. That is about 1% of our monthly— the ordinance provides for no more than 5% loss of revenue, and we would provide, within a short period of time, an analysis back to the council on the impact of that,” Director Martin said.

Martin said the administration intends a twofold outreach: targeted marketing to workers and dependents at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam (about 30,000 workers and dependents referenced by the director) and to personnel at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (about 15,000 workers), plus broader marketing outside the resolution.

Council Member Tupelo moved adoption of the resolution; the FD1 amendment was considered, the council waived the 48-hour rule for the hand-carried FD1, and the FD1 version of Resolution 25-2-10 was adopted.

Discussion vs. action: Council formally adopted the FD1 amendment and the resolution authorizing the promotional fares. Director Martin described operational changes the administration will make coincident with revenue service—bus-route adjustments and a roughly 3% bus-service expansion tied to the opening—but those operational changes were described as proposals rather than separately adopted council actions in this vote.

Background and next steps: The director said cybersecurity documentation and schedule compression prompted the shift from the Oct. 1 date. Council members pressed for clarity on suspended-fare dates; Director Martin confirmed the administration will provide a follow-up analysis on actual revenue impact after the promotional period.

Proper names: Skyline Veil (Segment 2); Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam; Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

For residents: The resolution authorizes the promotional fare suspension under the city ordinance named in FD1 and directs staff to report back on financial impacts; operational bus changes to feed Segment 2 were described as planned by DTS staff.","The City Council adopted Resolution 25-2-10 FD1 to authorize promotional fares and a special HoloCard distribution tied to the opening of Skyline Veil system Segment 2, adjusting opening and suspended-fare dates and directing staff monitoring of revenue impact.","actionData","errors"]
