No. 409/Res. No. 251-25 <br />Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 251-25, reports as follows: <br />Resolution No. 251-25, transmitted by Finance Director Diane Nakagawa via Communication <br />No. 389, dated July 18, 2025, authorizes the payment of funds of later fiscal years to enter into a <br />multi -year lease agreement for real property to be used by the Hawaii Police Department. <br />This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement with four options to <br />extend the lease for an additional five years with GEC Development Group, LLC., for space located at <br />28-2903 Hawaii Belt Road. <br />Police Major Jeremy Evangelista was present for questions and expressed his gratitude, highlighting the <br />importance of this satellite substation. <br />Committee Member Heather Kimball asked if an amendment to the resolution could be made to reflect <br />the lease values. Deputy Finance Director Malia Kekai replied that at the time of submitting the <br />resolution, they did not have those figures but since then, they have received them and will amend the <br />resolution to reflect that. -- <br />Committee Member Dennis "Fresh" Onishi asked if the substation would have internet capabilities. <br />Mr. Evangelista replied that he was uncertain because the officers don't rely on the internet and <br />explained that most of their equipment is cellular -operated. <br />Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 251-25, and <br />recommends its adoption. <br />Ikh <br />AYES <br />NOES <br />ABS <br />EX <br />GALIMBA <br />X <br />HUSTACE <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 />ONISHI <br />X <br />VILLEGAS <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br />MATT NEALI`I- �I EINFELDER, <br />CHAIR <br />FC REPORT NO.: 76 <br />ADOPTED: AUG 2 0 2025 <br />
