Requests the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service relocate the Pearl City Post Office from its current location at Kamehameha Highway and Acacia Road to federal United States Navy property on the Pearl City Peninsula near Lehua Elementary School.

Cites safety and traffic congestion concerns at the current post office location due to heavy commercial development in the Pearl Highlands area and increased vehicle traffic since the facility was built in the 1970s.

Notes the current Pearl City Post Office employs 75 workers with a motor pool of 75 vehicles (approximately 40 operating simultaneously), has a lobby capacity of only 6-10 customers, and lacks room for expansion of postal boxes or package storage.

Identifies increased parcel volume from online shopping and anticipated future population growth from Honolulu rail transit-oriented development as drivers for needing a larger facility.

Directs transmission of certified copies of the resolution to the Postmaster General, Commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and Hawaii Governor.
