By increasing the parking capacity, the resolution aims to alleviate overcrowding, which has posed safety concerns for park users. The addition of a rinse-out facility is intended to mitigate contamination risks to the park's environment, promoting better hygiene and maintaining the park's natural beauty.

Summary

HCR167 is a House Concurrent Resolution requesting the City and County of Honolulu to enhance the facilities at Oneula Beach Park, a popular recreational area in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

It specifically calls for the expansion of the park's parking capacity and the construction of a kitchen rinse-out facility to provide users an environmentally safe space for cleaning food equipment after use.

Contention

While the resolution appears to have broad support as a measure of community development, potential points of contention may arise regarding funding and resource allocation.
