REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> DATE: August 1, 2017 Re: Comm. No. 370/Res. No. 245-17 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> Hilo, Hawai`i <br /> TIME: 9:46 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawai`i County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 245-17 reports as follows: <br /> Resolution No. 245-17, transmitted by Council Chair Valerie T. Poindexter, via Communication <br /> No. 370 dated July 14, 2017, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than <br /> one fiscal year for a multi-year maintenance agreement for digital imagery and associated software for <br /> the Hawai`i County Police Department. <br /> The agreement authorizes a six-year agreement with Pictometry/Eagleview for a total cost of <br /> $3,089,955. The digital imagery system would support E-911 response systems with enhanced area • <br /> views, providing increased ability to identify and arrive at the accurate location. <br /> Police Lieutenant Alan Kimura commented that the digital images provide the 911 responders to <br /> accurately send officers or EMS personnel to the correct location. Funding for cost of the images <br /> comes from the State 911 board so they are already budgeted and funded. There is no cost to the <br /> County. <br /> Council Member Dru Kanuha asked whether these digital images are island-wide and if other <br /> departments may have access. Lt. Kimura stated that they have images from a previous contract that <br /> just ended, and are now entering into a new six-year contract which will focus on the areas of growth <br /> and development. Lt. Kimura stated that any of the county agencies can utilize these images through <br /> the website. <br /> Council Member Eileen O'Hara stated she understands that other departments are able to access the <br /> images, and asked whether other agencies would have access use of the software for other reasons such <br /> as real property tax. Lt. Kimura stated that they do share images with Real Property Tax Division, <br /> Planning Department, or any other agencies who request it. He noted they identify areas, with input <br /> from real property and planning, as to areas in which they foresee growth. He explained that <br /> throughout the contract they make three flights every other year, which takes about a year for them to <br /> fly the projected areas. <br /> FC Report No. 30 <br />
