Kierkiewicz requested that Mr. Sako provide the Council with a <br /> progress report on the first year of operations in order to gauge the return on investments. Mr. Sako <br /> stated that he will request a progress report, though since anthuriums are slow-growing plants, the <br /> impact would be judged primarily by the health and quality of the plants. Research and Development <br /> Director Douglas Adams stated that he could also provide the final reports for the program's first year <br /> to the Council. <br /> Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, and Section 13-13, Hawai`i County Charter, the <br /> Mayor is authorized to apply for, receive, and expend the funds for contracts with private parties, other <br /> counties, the State, or the United States government for functions or activities which the County is <br /> authorized to perform. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 201-21, and <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> arc <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> CHUNG X <br /> DAVID x COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> INABA X <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X •' <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X <br /> KIMBALL x MATT KANEACN I EINFELDER, <br /> LEE LOY x CHAIR <br /> RICHARDS X FC REPORT NO.: 77 <br /> VILLEGAS X ADOPTED: OCT 0 6 2021 <br />
