HONOLULU (KITV4) - The Honolulu City Council passed their budget on Wednesday, prioritizing several funding initiatives for Oahu residents.
All eight council members unanimously passed the budget, focusing funding efforts on areas such as affordable housing, clean water, public safety, and support for domestic violence survivors.
And after back-and-forth negotiations, the Haiku Stairs will also be dismantled, in a much-awaited decision regarding the popular landmark.
“This budget reflects the needs of our community as so many struggle to live in our island home,” said Tommy Waters, chair and presiding officer of the City Council.
“From funding affordable housing to fighting for clean water, the Council stands strong in our commitment toward supporting an equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. I am hopeful that this budget will help us to see greater City services to ensure the health and safety of our ‘āina and neighborhoods,” he added.
