Keep Kailua a Residential Community – Please Attend May 9th City Council Meeting

On Wednesday, May 9^th – 2:00pm at the Pali Golf Course Clubhouse Banquet Room, the City Council will have a second of three readings of Bill 11CD1. We need Kailua Residents to tell the City Council we do not want Kailua to be the Windward Waikiki and ask the Council to support Bill 11 CD1 as proposed.

Bill 11 CD1 will:

1. Prohibits commercial activities, including recreational stops by tour companies, but excluding commercial filming activities, at Kailua Beach Park and Kalama Beach Park.
2. Provides that no permit shall be issued for commercial activities at Kailua Beach Park and Kalama Beach Park, including permits for recreational stops by commercial tour companies, but excluding permits for commercial filming activities.

The continuing exploitation of Kailua as a tourist trap must stop if Kailua wants to retain its residential character.
