HOUSE RESOLUTION

 

SUPPORTING THE USE OF THE STUDENT BODY OF KAPIOLANI COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO PROVIDE STATISTICAL EVIDENCE TO BUILD AN ADDITIONAL PARKING FACILITY AT KAPIOLANI COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

 

 

WHEREAS, the Kapiolani Community College (College) suffers from an insufficient number of parking spaces; and

WHEREAS, students, faculty, and the community complain about the lack of parking spaces at the College and in the neighboring community, particularly during peak hours; and

WHEREAS, there has not been a study providing statistical evidence to validate the need for an additional parking structure to alleviate the parking problem at the College; and

WHEREAS, funds for a study and analysis of the need for a new parking structure for the College may be scarce, therefore the possibility of using students to conduct the study was raised; and

WHEREAS, there is an overwhelming need for and desire, particularly from the student body at the College, that a new parking structure be built; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2005, that this body supports the use of the student body of Kapiolani Community College to provide statistical evidence to build an additional parking facility at the College by assessing the parking needs of its student body, faculty, and the community, including data on: the number of vehicles that enter the parking lot daily; the average length of time each student waits for a parking space; the peak parking times; the duration of the peak parking times; the average number of passengers in each vehicle; and the average length of time that vehicles remain in the parking lot; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the College is encouraged to grant academic credit to the students who work on this project; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the students of Kapiolani Community College are requested to report their findings and recommendations to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the convening of the Regular Session of 2006; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the President of the University of Hawaii, the Chancellor of the Kapiolani Community College, and the President of the Student Body of Kapiolani Community College.
