Form : B-52 <br /> 7/18191 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Fire DATE: 1/3/23 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Darwin Okinaka PHONE: 932-2906 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Request to transfer funds in the amount of$300,500 from the Geothermal Relocation and Community <br /> Benefit Fund -GRCBF (095.141.5143.02) to Geothermal Fire Equipment Account (095.221.5221.90). <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> This request has once been approved via resolution 328-22, on February 17, 2022, but due to unforseen <br /> circumstances, we were not able to allocate the funds before the end of the FY and the funds defaulted back <br /> into the GRCBF at end of June 2022. In speaking with Finance Director Sako and Planning Director Kern,. <br /> both have preliminarily authorized the re-transfer of funds. AS listed in Res. 328-22, these funds will be used <br /> to purchase an new mobile SOBA compressor, along with a Tow Vehicle and spare SCBA bottles for the <br /> Pahoa Fire station. These items will not only be utilized in the district of Pahoa where PGV is located, but in <br /> the greater lower Puna geographical area and beyond as available and needed. This will significantly <br /> increase the response capabilities, and safety for the personnel of the Hawaii Fire Department. <br /> SIGNED Eric H.Moth r <br /> .DATE: January 3, 2022 <br /> Department Head <br />
