When the ballots arrive, Oahu voters will have a rare chance to show their aloha for the best lifeguards in the world. Voting “yes” on City Charter Question 3 will establish a City and County of Honolulu Ocean Safety Commission to provide independent oversight over the chief of the newly created Honolulu Department of Ocean Safety. This yes vote will put Ocean Safety on par with its sister city public safety agencies, the Honolulu Police and Fire departments, both of which have long had oversight commissions to ensure independence and transparency.
