DATE: April 20, 2021 Re: Comm.No. 197/Res.No. 89-21
PLACE: Council Chambers

Your Committee on Finance,to which was referred Resolution No. 89-21,reports as follows:
Resolution No. 89-21,transmitted by Director of Finance Deanna Sako via Communication No. 197
dated April 1, 2021, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than one fiscal
year for a multi-year lease of one crane truck for the Department of Public Works.
This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement with an approximate
monthly cost of$5,000. The County will own the equipment at the end of the lease.
Public Works' Traffic Division Chief Aaron Takaba was available to take questions.
Council Member Tim Richards asked Mr. Takaba if this new crane truck was to augment or replace the
boom truck currently being used. Mr. Takaba said the current crane truck doesn't have the adequate
height required for the traffic street light poles now. He also feels that the new one is safer. Mr. Takaba
explained that the old crane truck will be given to another building division. Mr. Richards asked how
much higher the new crane is, and Mr. Takaba said he will get back to him on those numbers.
Pursuant to Hawai`i County Charter Section 10-11, any contract, lease, or other obligation requiring
payment of funds from the appropriations of a later fiscal year must be approved by resolution.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 89-21, and
recommends its adoption.
