with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements and food booth
for Hanapepe Stadium. This briefing shall include the

PWPR COMMITTEE MEETING 2 AUGUST 7, 2013
Mr. Bynum: Mr. Kagawa requested this item. Lenny is
here. This restroom was in our budget last year and in the current Fiscal Year. I
think Mr. Kagawa would appreciate being able to follow-up on this matter. So, I am
asking for a deferral for one (1) month.
Ms. Nakamura moved to defer PWPR 2013-16 to September 4, 2013,
seconded by Mr. Hooser.
Mr. Bynum: Is there any discussion? Does anyone in the
public that would like to speak on this matter?
There being no objections, the rules were suspended to take public testimony.
GLENN MICKENS: Thank you, Tim. I just want to support this.
I spent quite a bit of time during the baseball season down there at Hanapepe
Stadium and the restroom, you have to go to the sports center or whatever it is to
relieve yourself. It is very inconvenient especially like Ross was saying, for the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) people. It needs a restroom right there
where they are trying to build it, right behind the bleachers, making it more
convenient. I just wanted to say that I support that very much. Thank you, Tim.
Mr. Bynum: Any other testimony?
There being no further testimony, the Committee was called back to order,
and proceeded as follows:
The motion to defer PWPR 2013-16 to September 4, 2013 was then put, and
unanimously carried.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
