HART Loses Its Last Original Board Member
It’s the end of an era.
Damien Kim, chairman of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation board and its last original member, has announced he’ll step down this summer.
Kim was appointed to the volunteer board by the City Council in 2011, when HART was formed, and his most recent term expires June 30. He’s asked the council not to reappoint him even though he’s eligible, Kim told Civil Beat on Tuesday.
He’s agreed to stay on until the council replaces him, however. The board will likely pick his replacement to serve as chair at its next meeting, he added.
Kim serves as business manager and financial secretary of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1186. He replaced former Rep. Colleen Hanabubusa as the HART board’s chair when she returned to Congress in 2016 and he’s remained in that post ever since.
