<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Form B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> <br /> DEPARTMENT: Housing DATE: 1/24/08 <br /> <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Jeremy McComber PHONE: 808/961-8379 <br /> <br /> <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> <br /> The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) requests Council's approval of an appropriation <br /> from the Housing Fund's Fund Balance (FY06-07) for the following uses: <br /> (1) Material repair costs to a County-purchased transitional housing unit at 189 Wilder Road ($55,000). <br /> (2) Material repair costs to a County-purchased transitional housing unit at 1495 Kuleana Place ($40,000). <br /> (3) Acquisition of a 4WD vehicle for the project management and emergency response functions of the <br /> Community Development division ($26,000). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> ITEMS 1 and 2: <br /> Though the County was successful in acquiring both transitional housing units (formerly owned by East <br /> Hawaii Coalition for the Homeless), the units are in need of substantial repair. The County has already <br /> executed a lease agreement with the Roman Catholic Church in the State of Hawaii dba Office for Social <br /> Ministry (OSM) for the Wilder unit, and will soon be requesting Council approval to negotiate a lease with the <br /> OSM for the Kuleana unit. So that the OSM can maximize the use of both units, funds are needed to buy <br /> materials needed to repair these units. Funds will be granted to the OSM, who will then secure donated <br /> labor to carry out necessary repairs. <br /> <br /> ITEM 3: <br /> With projects such as the Waikoloa Workforce Housing Project, West Hawaii Emergency Housing Program, <br /> and Kaloko Housing Program, OHCD project coordinators will need an additional vehicle to properly monitor <br /> successful development of these projects. <br /> This vehicle will also allow instant mobility during emergencies and/or natural disaster. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> SIGNED: a", ~ DATE: 1/24/08 <br /> A.
