FC -93 Page 2 October 17, 2023 <br />Committee Member Ashley L. Kierkiewicz asked where the Hawaii Loca12030 HUB is located. <br />Mr. Sykes replied that they are located in Oahu. Ms. Kierkiewicz then asked for some background on <br />the Hawaii Local203O HUB and their association with Hawaii Green Growth. Ms. Obermaier provided <br />her with a brief overview. Ms. Kierkiewicz then asked for precise details on the grant's timeline, how <br />the grant will be spent and if the department could provide those details at the next Council meeting. <br />Mr. Inaba asked Ms. Sako if this nonprofit meets all the requirements within the County Code. Ms. Sako <br />replied that she would work with the department and Corporation Counsel to confirm that this nonprofit <br />is eligible before moving forward. Mr. Inaba supported Ms. Kierkiewicz's request from the Department <br />of Research and Development regarding a detailed breakdown of how these funds will be spent. <br />Committee Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked Ms. Sako if it was more appropriate to take these <br />funds from the Office of Sustainability, Climate, Equity and Resilience (OSCER) instead of the <br />Department of Research and Development as these projects will benefit OSCER. Ms. Sako explained <br />that as OSCER is up and coming, they cannot provide those funds. The Department of Research and <br />Development has the funds to provide for this project. As OSCER becomes self-sustaining, they can <br />discuss moving this contract to that department. <br />Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 304-23, and <br />recommends its adoption. <br />M <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON <br />MATT KANEAKL <br />CHAIR <br />FC REPORT �& 93 <br />ADOPTED: N(� <br />AYES NOES ABS EX <br />EVANS <br />X <br />GALIMBA <br />X <br />INABA <br />X <br />KAGIWADA <br />X <br />KANEALI°I-KLEINFELDER <br />X <br />KIERKIEWICZ <br />X <br />KIMBALL <br />X <br />LEE LOY <br />X <br />VILLEGAS <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON <br />MATT KANEAKL <br />CHAIR <br />FC REPORT �& 93 <br />ADOPTED: N(� <br />
