Hawaii Fire Commission Regular Session Minutes September 25, 2025 Page 7 outcome. Chief Todd stated that the letter would have been directed to Micah Alameda, head of Boards and Commissions in the Mayor's Office, and suggested inviting him to the next meeting to discuss the matter. He added that the decision ultimately depends on funding and was uncertain where the Mayor's Office stands on the issue. The commission agreed to include this topic on the next agenda and to invite Mr. Alameda to attend. Commissioner Wolf emphasized the need for feedback, noting that the matter has been pending for several years.
