IMPORTANT CITY COUNCIL MEETING REGARDING VACATION RENTALS ON OAHU
COMMITTEE MEETING ROOM HONOLULU HALE
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2019
10:30 A.M.
Please see BELOW meeting agenda on critical City Council bills (especially Bill 89) that would allow over 4,000 more vacation rentals in residential and condo areas. Please take the time to send in testimony or attend the hearing on Tuesday. Many residents want no new vacation rental permits until rules are adopted to improve and ensure that current vacation rental prohibitions are enforced. If you are concerned about more vacation rentals now is the time to speak up. Sending in testimony is simple, below for the procedure. The best way to make an impact is to attend the hearing. Note: Bills 90 and 91 are good.
