The current rules require the landowner put forth <br />concurrent bills with the House and the Senate to authorize the gifting of the <br />property to the County. In addition, an appraisal must be provided. <br />Therefore, the Fire Department is working with the Real Property Tax <br />Division on the appraisal. <br /> Kawailani Fire Station: Due to potential land availability, the Kawailani Fire <br />Station will be moved up on Fire Department’s CIP list. The property <br />located on Kawailani Street will be affected by the future plan to widen the <br />street. Once that occurs, the road shoulder will come within ten-feet of the <br />Fire Station’s front entrance. Therefore, it is necessary to relocate the <br />station. In addition to that, the building was constructed in the 1960’s and <br />does not meet current standards. <br />Chief Oliveira explained that recently a Council Member was approached <br />by the Machado Acres Community Association regarding a parcel that was <br />earmarked for a passive park. This particular parcel could support both a <br />Fire Station and a passive park. <br /> Pahala and Naalehu Volunteer Garages: Meeting with the Department of <br />Public Works to expedite the process.
