Holocaust Remembrance Day service this Sunday

 

Honolulu – Mayor Caldwell will take part in a Holocaust Remembrance Day service on Sunday, April 27, at 6:30 p.m. at Temple Emanuel-El, 2550 Pali Highway.  At the remembrance service, Mayor Caldwell will present a proclamation declaring April to be Holocaust Remembrance Month.

 

"This is a somber day, but it is important that we remember," said Mayor Caldwell.  "Remaining aware of the unfathomable evil humans are capable of helps to ensure that in the future people step forward to stop something like this from ever happening again.  It's important for people of all faiths and backgrounds to come together, mourn the great loss, and say never again." 

 

In Israel, April 27 is known as Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day).  Since 1953, Yom HaShoah has been Israel's official day of commemorating the six million Jews who lost their lives in the Holocaust.  April 27 also marks the beginning of the Days of Remembrance, a week that has been set aside for the people of Honolulu to remember the victims of the Holocaust and reflect on the need to respect all people, which will run through May 4th.

Bill 1 public meeting tonight

 

Honolulu – The Department of Transportation Services (DTS), with the assistance of the Department of Enterprise Services (DES), will hold a public meeting to receive comments and concerns regarding the implementation of Bill 1 tonight, at 6 p.m. in the Mission Memorial Hearings Room.

 

Input from the public, particularly from food truck owners and operators, is greatly appreciated and will be helpful to DTS and DES in developing rules for the implementation of the bill.  A public hearing will be held once rules have been drafted.

 

Bill 1, relating to parking, proposed a 2-year pilot project to grant operating permits to mobile food units, or food trucks, within the Hawaii Capital Special District.  Mayor Caldwell returned the bill to Council, unsigned, due to the lack of sufficient input from food truck operators, who will be directly affected by the bill, during the hearing process.  Bill 1 automatically became law on March 28, 2014.

Mayor Caldwell to open new motor vehicle registration office at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam

Honolulu City Council approved the new service last week

 

Pearl Harbor - Mayor Kirk Caldwell will host a grand opening event for a new Satellite Vehicle Registration Office at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 22.

 

The opening comes as a result of the Honolulu City Council's unanimous approval of a master agreement between the city and Navy Region Hawaii at a full council meeting this past Wednesday, April 16th. 

 

The new Satellite Vehicle Registration Office will operate on a limited twice-weekly schedule and provide a full range of motor vehicle registration services.  It will be open to everyone with base access including members of the military, their families, and civilian employees at the base.

 

"This new location will benefit military personnel while also reducing the lines for Oahu residents at all Satellite City Halls," said Sheri Kajiwara, Director of the city's Customer Services Department. "Motor vehicle transactions account for 70 percent of Satellite City Hall business, and transactions involving military personnel can be especially time-intensive as these often involve out-of-state transfers, requiring additional forms and signatures."

 

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam was selected for its central location accessible from other military facilities on Oahu.  The facility will be located on base at the Club Pearl Complex.  It will operate Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m to 4:30 p.m. as part of a one-year pilot program in partnership with Navy Region Hawaii.  If successful, the program could be extended.  The Navy is providing the facility and the city is transferring existing personnel, meaning there is no additional ongoing cost to provide this service. 

 

The Satellite Vehicle Registration Office at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam will handle transactions related to initial vehicle registration; out-of-state permits; transfer of ownership; replacement of Hawaii plates and/or registration emblems; duplicate Honolulu titles and registrations; the ordering of special plates, Veteran's plates, and Organizational plates; as well as junking and storage.
