REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS <br /> AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br /> DATE: June 16, 2020 Re: Comm. No. 969/Res.No. 665-20 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> Hilo, Hawaii <br /> TIME: 11:38 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic Development, to which was referred <br /> Resolution No. 665-20, reports as follows: <br /> Resolution No. 665-20, introduced by Committee Member Matt Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder,urges the <br /> Administration to provide funding to key sectors of the community and economy by using the <br /> State-provided allotment of funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security <br /> (CARES) Act to promote safety, health, and well-being in the Hawaii Island community in <br /> response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding was provided in Senate Bill No. 75, as <br /> amended to House Draft 1, which at the time of your Committee meeting had been approved by <br /> the Legislature but was not yet signed by the Governor. <br /> Some members attended by videoconference from Hilo and public testimony was accepted from <br /> remote locations in Hilo and Kailua-Kona, in order to minimize physical contact and to <br /> maximize social distancing, pursuant to the Governor's emergency orders. <br /> Mr. Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder said the CARES funding will be incredibly beneficial if used correctly <br /> and toward the right sectors of our economy to help rebuild what we have lost over the past few <br /> months. He said the resolution was simply an urge to the Administration to do exactly what we <br /> all know needs to be done. <br /> Your Committee is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 665-20, and <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> ps <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> CHUNG X <br /> DAVID X COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL <br /> EOFF X RELATIONS M ECONOMIC <br /> KANE.kLI'l-KLEINFELDER X EVE P E <br /> T <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X <br /> LEE LOY X <br /> POINDEXTER X ASHLEY L.
