Mayor signs tenth supplementary emergency proclamation
LIHU`E — Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami has signed a tenth supplementary emergency
proclamation on Monday, August 26, for the County of Kauai, extending the emergency relief
period for damages sustained during the April 2018 flood.
The Mayor's tenth supplementary emergency proclamation further declares the
provisions of all previous emergency proclamations. The disaster emergency relief period shall
now continue until terminated 60 days after August 26, 2019, or by a separate proclamation —
whichever comes first.
Due to the reopening of Black Pot Beach Park on July 22, 2019, the Mayor's Emergency
Rule #2 relating to commercial boating operations in Hanalei has since been rescinded.
"Although Black Pot was reopened in July, the construction of a permanent comfort
station and additional parking remains ongoing," said Mayor Kawakami. "Thank you to the
public for your continued patience, and to all who have worked diligently on repair and recovery
efforts on the North Shore."
With the Mayor's Emergency Rule #2 no longer in effect, recreational boaters are
reminded to use the mauka boat ramp which can be accessed between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m.
daily. Recreational boaters may also use the Welke boat ramp between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., after
obtaining a Recreational Use Permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation.
The public is reminded that camping at Black Pot remains closed until construction of the
comfort station is complete.
To obtain a Recreational Use Permit for the overnight use of the Weke Boat Ramp, or
for more information on Black Pot Beach Park, please contact the Department of Parks and
Recreation at 808-241-4456.
