No. 401-10 <br /> PLACE: Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort and Spa <br /> 78-128 `Ehukai Street <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i <br /> TIME: 9:05 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance,to which was referred Resolution No. 401-10, reports as follows: <br /> Resolution No. 401-10, by Director of Finance Nancy Crawford,via Communication No. 971 dated <br /> October 6, 2010, authorizes the Office of the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawai`i <br /> Department of Health, Hawai`i District Health Office(HDHO) for the purchase and transfer of three(3) <br /> vehicles. <br /> The vehicles were identified for purchase with 2008 Homeland Security Grant(HSG) funds for use by <br /> HDHO in support of HDHO's multiple responsibilities for public health emergency and disaster <br /> preparedness and response. It was recognized that while the Hawai`i County Civil Defense Agency <br /> (HCCDA)provides storage for HDHO emergency supplies, HDHO had very limited capacity to transport <br /> supplies to where they would be necessary. As HCCDA,through the Hawai`i State Civil Defense, is the <br /> pass-through and administrative agencies for Homeland Security funding, HCCDA will purchase the <br /> requested vehicles and transfer the same to the HDHO. <br /> Civil Defense Administrator Quince Mento and Anne Holmberg from the Department of Health were <br /> present to answer Council Member questions. <br /> Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, County Departments must obtain the consent of the <br /> Council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting action to be taken <br /> pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend and receive any funds or other assistance <br /> in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those powers. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 401-10, and <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> kk <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> ENRIQUES X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> GREENWELL X <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> IKEDA X <br /> 1*.` <br /> NAEOLE X <br /> ONISHI X DENNIS "FRESH"ONISHI, CHAIR <br /> YAGONG X FC REPORT NO. 187 <br /> YOSHIMOTO X ADOPTED: NOV 0 4 2010 <br />
