The County has already <br /> executed a lease agreement with the Roman Catholic Church in the State of Hawaii dba <br /> Office for Social Ministry (OSM) for the Wilder unit, and will soon be requesting Council's <br /> approval to negotiate a lease with the OSM for the Kuleana unit. So that the OSM can <br /> maximize the use of both units, funds are needed to buy materials needed to repair <br /> these units. The funds will be granted to the OSM, who will then secure donated labor to <br /> carry out the necessary repairs. The materials repair costs for the shelter at 189 Wilder <br /> Road and at 1495 Kuleana Place, are estimated at $55,000 and $40,000, respectively. <br /> With projects such as the Waikoloa Workforce Housing Project, West Hawaii <br /> Emergency Housing Program, and Kaloko Housing Program, the OHCD project <br /> coordinators are in need an additional vehicle (at a cost of $26,000) to properly monitor <br /> successful development of these projects and for emergency response functions of the <br /> Community Development Division. <br /> <br /> Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating <br /> $121,000 from the Housing Fund's Fund Balance into the Office of Housing and <br /> Community Development's (OHCD) OCE (Miscellaneous Contractual Services) and <br /> Equipment accounts. <br /> <br /> <br /> 13..E comm.
