Hawaii County Council-25 October 22,2025 MR. ONISHL Thank you, Chair. I would suggest that we move forward because, as one of the testifiers mentioned, the State Legislature will be scheduling these meetings. So once we can get this moving forward approved, then it can be sent to them. And you have the list of the Senators, right, the President and also the House Speaker and so forth. So can tell—show that Hawaii County Council is engaged and wants to see this certain legislation, or I guess showing that we care, and we want them to also kind of do the same. So we're kind of like setting the lead. Yeah. Thanks, I yield. CHR. INABA: Any other discussion? Council Member Kagiwada. MS. KAGIWADA: Thank you, Chair. I guess I feel like this particular resolution at this time did not direct anything towards the State and the Legislature. So passing this makes a lot of sense to me. And then doing another resolution that is specifically about asks of the State and the Legislature might seem a cleaner way to do it. And I'd be happy to work on that with anybody if you're interested in doing it, or do it myself if nobody else wants to do that. So I volunteer to participate if that is something that anybody would want to work on. I yield. CHR. INABA: All right, let's proceed. Thank you again, Council Member Galimba, for bringing this forward. All those in favor of approving Resolution 320-25, as amended, please say "aye." Vote on Res. 320-25: The motion to adopt Res. 320-25, as amended to Draft 2, Draft 2 and Governmental Operations and External Affairs (Adopted) Committee Report No. 75 was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Council Members Galimba, Hustace, Kagiwada, Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder, Kierkiewicz, Kimball, Onishi, Villegas, and Chair Inaba—9. Noes: None. Absent: None. Excused: None. Page 10
