On July 26, 2012, Mayor Peter Carlisle vetoed Bill 11 which banned all commercial activity at Kailua Beach Park. However, the Honolulu City Council voted again on August 15, 2012 and in a 7 to 2 vote overrode the Mayor’s veto. Ikaika Anderson, one of the City Councilmen, stated, “It’s not that we do not welcome the tour bus companies and their visitors. The fact is we lack the space to accommodate them.”
Most Kailua residents are happy about the ban on commercial activities at their beach park. However, there are several kayak companies who have announced that they will be filing a lawsuit against the City Council for exceeding their authority.
