With a bill that allocates over $39,000 to build a new playground at Paupau Beach already enacted, Precinct IV Rep. Joel Camacho\u2019s (R-Saipan) sees that as the start of more improvements of not just at Paupau Beach but also the Capital Hill area.<\/p>\n
With Camacho\u2019s House Local Bill 21-25 enacted Thursday last week, he said he eventually wishes to make more improvements in the Paupau Beach area, including a possible beach volleyball court.<\/p>\n
\u201cI reprogrammed some of the remaining balances to a pot for the final payment to make sure it is funded,\u201d he noted, referring to H.L.B. 21-25. The legislation collects the remaining balances from previous appropriations and directed it toward a new playground at Paupau Beach. He was able to collect over $39,000 for the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will hopefully work with [Department of Public Works] to include a beach volleyball court. I want to do it\u2026[sooner] but the Public School System was [a higher] priority,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n
\u201cNext time around, or in the next funding cycle, I want to try and fix up a beach volleyball court on Capit[a]l Hill or Paupau Beach so that we can\u2026start a sports program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Gov. Ralph DLG Torres enacted H.L.B. 21-25 last Thursday afternoon at the Governor\u2019s Office conference room. The legislation is now known as Saipan Local Law 21-6.<\/p>\n
Although the legislation had already been enacted, Camacho noted that ground-breaking on the project has yet to start.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe contractors will be going back to the drawing board and then go back to the site to see how they will break ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will be meeting with the Department of Public Works to get some feedback. Hopefully [the contractors] will start soon.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
