Sako, via Communication No. 19 dated <br /> December 2, 2022, amends Ordinance No. 22-64, as amended, relating to Public Improvements and <br /> Financing thereof for the fiscal year July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. <br /> This bill reappropriates lapsed fuel tax funds from prior fiscal years by establishing the following fuel tax <br /> program appropriations to the Capital Budget: Roadway Projects (Engineering) ($1,288,729.07); Bridge <br /> Inspection, Repair and Replacement Program(Engineering) ($15,892.03); and Local Road Improvements <br /> (Highways) ($214,385.57), for a total appropriation of$1,519,006.67. <br /> Committee Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked for clarification on how the Road Improvement <br /> Projects are selected, as his concern is that there are no Puna road projects listed. Public Works' Director <br /> Steve Pause acknowledged that the department needs to do more work in the Puna district to provide <br /> Puna with connectivity. He also stated that they do have some Puna projects in the works, but those will <br /> require a lot more work and collaboration. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 4, and recommends its <br /> passage on first reading. <br /> Ik <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> EVANS x <br /> GALIMBA x COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> INABA x ------ <br /> KAGIWADA x <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X <br /> KIERKIEWICZ x MATT KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER, <br /> KIMBALL x CHAIR <br /> LEE LOY x FC REPORT NO.: 6 <br /> VILLEGAS x ADOPTED: JA <br />
