April 25, 2025, HSAC Executive Committee Meeting Minutes Page 1 3 a�sSPSEA4s°Gq <br />3 � <br />6 <br />court`e <br />CMPaltin: We didn't send a written report because we've just been in our budget this <br />whole time kind of talking in circles. The mayor presented us with a 1.6 billion dollar budget. The <br />way we've traditionally done it has been, go through, make cuts, make ads. And at this point, as of <br />today we're 36 million dollars over the mayor's budget. And the mayor's budget does not include the <br />1.6 billion Cdbgdr funds. I'm not sure how this is all gonna play out, it seems like tonight might be a <br />very long night, because we just added another 25 million this morning for a workforce housing <br />project in South Maui, 175 units. We are working on a project labor agreement that some of the <br />workforce has brought to me to try and hire local workforce first. We're trying to ensure that all <br />projects that the county puts out to bid over $500, 000 hires local workers. <br />iv. City and County of Honolulu <br />CM Weyer: I'll largely stand on our written report. We do have some RPT as well. One that's looking <br />at just kind of reexamining some of the exemptions. More recently, after just having this conversation <br />for a couple of years, we have been trying to keep bumping up our low income tax credit which is <br />just capping it at 3% so we bumped it up from $ 60, 000 to $80, 000 households. We did get our empty <br />homes tax report back just a few days ago. It got deferred at 3rd reading. We also have a couple of <br />bills adjusting the language in our Fiscal Stability Fund. Aside from the budget issues I brought up, <br />I think one of the big conversations is the sewer fee increase. It has been proposed, which would be <br />probably a little over a hundred percent over the next 10 years. So maybe 8 to 12% a year So we've <br />been looking at ways we can offset that with the rebate program. We just added Bangkok as another <br />sister city. <br />Motion to accept county reports. Approved. <br />c. NACo Report <br />Nothing submitted. <br />d. WIR Report <br />CMPaltin: Shane and I will be going to WIR South Dakota. <br />e.
