Constituent Services

  • After being contacted by a constituent on March 15th sharing concerns that the rink had been closed for over a year, our office sent a letter to the City's Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) requesting assistance. On April 12, the DPR crew came to clean and repaint the rink. It is now open and hockey season starts April 18! For more info, visit hihockey808.org.

  • Several constituents contacted our office to repair potholes along Kam Hwy. After putting in a request, the Department of Transportation’s (DOT)  Highways Division began repairs on April 14th.

  • A constituent requested assistance on April 3, following up on their financial benefit status for General Assistance. After following up with the Department of Human Services’ Benefit, Employment and Support Services Division, the constituent’s benefits were approved on April 4th.

  • On April 7, we received a letter from a constituent who had fallen victim to a potential online scam in December 2022. Our office reached out to the Division of Financial Institutions (DFI) within the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs for help. DFI promptly responded on May 31 and will continue to provide assistance moving forward.
