He also stated that a septic system has been put in, that there is a significant amount of interior <br /> painting to be done, and that there are inoperable windows that need fixing. <br /> Several Council Members spoke in favor of this measure. <br /> Pursuant to Section 10-6(e) of the Hawai`i County Charter, at any time during the fiscal year, the Council, by <br /> ordinance adopted by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the entire membership, may amend the <br /> capital budget for that year. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 222, and recommends its <br /> passage on first reading. <br /> wb <br /> kti f s got CRs Respectfully submitted. <br /> } <br /> CHUNG X <br /> DAVID X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> EOFF X <br /> ILAGAN X <br /> KANUHA X <br /> ONISHI X <br /> PALEKA X KAREN EOFF, CHAIR <br /> POINDEXTER X FC REPORT NO.: 73 <br /> WILLS X ADOPTED: AUG 1 7 2016 <br />
