FC-30 Page 2 February 5, 2013 <br /> Several Council Members support the facility and expressed the need for an emergency shelter in <br /> Kona. <br /> Ms. Wille had some reservation in regard to the County's priorities in funding; however, she will <br /> support the project going on the Capital Improvement Project's "wish list." <br /> In response to Mr. Yoshimoto's question relating to the financial layout of the amended Project <br /> Data/Financial Impact Statement for Fiscal Year 2012-2013, Ms. Ford explained the overall project <br /> requirements, and estimated the cost to be approximately $30 million. Furthermore, she described <br /> the difference and standards between a multi-event center versus the proposed project of a <br /> combination multi-event center and Civil Defense shelter. <br /> Mr. Onishi affirmed the costs of a FEMA shelter are much more expensive than a standard <br /> multi-purpose center. <br /> Ms. Eoff and Mr. Kanuha conveyed their concern in getting the support from the University of <br /> Hawai`i or State legislators, to find a proper location for the project. Mr. Kanuha pointed out <br /> District 9 would benefit, if the project was to be located in District 8. <br /> Ms. Poindexter spoke in support of Bill No. 30. She encouraged each district to work together and <br /> to "map out" Civil Defense evacuation areas and available emergency resources. <br /> Finance Deputy Director Deanna Sako came forward and stated that Ms. Ford's proposed <br /> amendment, Section 2 (see Comm. 86.1), details the breakdown of the $30 million appropriation for <br /> the project, and better reflects the budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013. Ms. Sako and Ms. Ford will <br /> be working together to clarify the revenue sources and appropriation projections. <br /> Ms. Ford encouraged Council Members for their support of Bill No. 30, as amended. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 30, as amended to <br /> Draft 2, and recommends its passage on first reading. <br /> sc <br /> AYES NOES A&E Ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> EOFF X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> ILAGAN X <br /> KANUHA X <br /> KERN X ���,�G'��a�-•/�O�"� <br /> ONISHI X <br /> POINDEXTER X VALERIE T.
