FC-88 Page 2 December 3,2019 Other Council Members were in agreement with Mr. Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder's questioning on this resolution, and also felt that providing this body with a copy of the agreement prior to this resolution coming before the Council would have been proper. It was noted that these monies came out of the people's pocket and the people want it back. Council Member Herbert M. "Tim"Richards, III stated his support of the resolution but disagrees with some comments made because the police responded to many serious situations on the mountain and so it is not without issues. He also stated that the Council is not authorizing anything but accepting the funds. He noted that funds are always being accepted without seeing the agreements, for example, accepting donations. Council Member Susan Lee Loy agreed that it is the people's money which, unfortunately, is being expended without the Council's oversight. Ms. Lee Loy asked, "What happens if the Council does not take the money?" Ms. Sako,responded that if the money is not accepted, then they would have to find another means to cover the costs. She suggested that the resolution be forwarded to Council at which time Mr. Kamelamela would be able to provide the Council with a copy of the agreement, as requested. Finance Chair Maile David stated she understood that the County has billed the State approximately $4.3 million and received payment of approximately$3.7 million thus far, from the State. Ms. David noted she assumed that the agreement would contain provisions as to the breakdown of the $10 million. Ms. Sako stated the agreement does not contain any reference to the $10 million amount and explained that the $10 million was a number randomly chosen to create the account to appropriate funds. Ms. Sako again noted the agreement does contain a specific dollar amount but is the agreement between the State and the County regarding reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred by the County. Ms. David inquired, as to the $10 million grant, how would the funds billed to the State, and which the County already received payment for,be accounted for? Ms. Sako explained that it is currently in a holding account until such time as Bill 115 is approved, at which time those expenditures will be accounted for in the related expenditure account, Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 403-19, and recommends its adoption. dmm AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, CHUNG X DAVID X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE EOFF X I--------- KA,NEALI'l-KLEINFELDER X KIERKIEWICZ X LEE LOY X POINDEXTER X MAIZE MED S DAVID, CHAIR RICHARDS X FC REPORT NO.: 88 VILLEGAS X ADOPTED:
