This Saturday, Ann Kobayashi, Joey Manahan, Ron Menor and Kym Pine will bid farewell to Honolulu Hale.
During their time on the council, these members had to address some of the most challenging issues in recent memory – ranging from the rail project, homelessness, affordable housing, climate change and COVID-19 related efforts.
While the complexity of some issues requires more time to solve, each member believes they have made a positive impact on their districts.
Chair Kobayashi says she s worked hard to improve parks in her community. We finally got the Old Stadium Park into shape, but that took quite a few years, she said. Parks are very important, and especially Ala Moana Park. I think we finally got the administration to recognize that Ala Moana Park is a people s park.
