WHEREAS, on Hawai‘i Island, the Eleutherodactylus coqui, or coqui frog, continues to cause many areas in Hilo to be inundated with the incessant night-time chirping; and
WHEREAS, the coqui frog population is persistently high, especially at the lower elevation, and remains a constant threat to Hawaiʻi’s island ecosystem because of its voracious appetite
that puts our unique insects and spiders at risk; and

and
WHEREAS, HCEOC is requesting funds to purchase citric acid to help control the coqui frog infestation in Council District 2; and
WHEREAS, one of the objectives of the Department of Research and Development is to support research or extension projects on invasive species, such as the coqui frog; and

the nonprofit organization and the specific program, project, event, activity, service, equipment, materials, or supplies for which the grant shall be used; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAI‘I that Contingency Relief funds from Council District 2 will be appropriated to the Department of Research and Development to provide
