Aloha!

Year-round, thousands of residents and visitors enjoy our pristine beaches and waters on the Leeward Coast. With so many keiki and adults enjoying the ocean, we must provide our lifeguards and emergency responders with the opportunities and equipment to be prepared and respond to emergencies in and out of the water. To ensure our district is prepared in ocean safety— I am committed to keeping our beaches safe and lifeguards equipped to quickly respond when disaster strikes.

To learn firsthand some of the challenges of water rescues in the surf, I recently spent a Sunday at Makaha Beach with former-City & County lifeguard and water safety expert Brian Keaulana to gain a glimpse of a typical workday of our ocean rescue crews. Aside from the thrilling experience of practicing jet ski rescues in the Makaha surf, I also got to talk story with Leeward Ocean Safety crew members to understand the importance of being well-equipped to respond to emergencies that could happen in our waters or on the beach throughout the year.

My staff and I will be working to appropriate funds to improve Ocean Safety, in the FY 2016 budget. This will include funding for a jet ski team (the Leeward District is the only district with one ski, all others have 2 or more), Water Officer training and a new place to store and stage emergency response equipment.

To share your ideas or budget questions, feel free to contact me at kmpine@honolulu.gov.

Updating you on Leeward Community Concerns

A constituent reached out to Councilmember Pine’s office

regarding a growing homeless encampment at Tracks Beach close to the Electric Beach side. Individuals were leaving trash,

urinating in the area, creating disturbances, and were becoming a safety issue.

Councilmember Pine connected with HPD and the Office of

Housing to clean up this area and provide the homeless with aid and support services.

Kealahou West Oahu and Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center assessed the housing and health needs of individuals and

families in this area and offered access to shelter services, as well as other resources. The constituent recently called Coun-

cilmember Pine’s office to update that the area was cleared.

Thanks to the Office of Housing, a growing homeless encampment at Tracks Beach has been offered aid and support services,

and the area is now cleared.

removed during surface maintenance, provided that certain

criteria are met.

Bill 81 passed second reading at the January 27, 2016 Full Council Meeting and will be up for hearing at the next Public Works Committee Meeting.
