Finance Committee Meeting of July 20,2021
A motion to amend Res. No. 142-21 with the contents of Comm. No. 280.1 was made by
Ms. Kierkiewicz, and seconded by Ms. Lee Loy. Said amendment authorizes the working group to
develop a condition assessment tool to rate the condition of assets, rather than a needs assessment
report,to submit to the County Council prior to the start of the next budget review cycle for fiscal
year 2022-2023.
Ms. Kierkiewicz provided the background on the amendment, citing conversations with the
administration acknowledging concerns brought up by other committee members.
Ms. Kierkiewicz explained that the group will urge departments to apply the tool themselves.
Ms. Lee Loy stated that said amendment focuses on bringing transparency, communication, and
continuity to the process with various departments all utilizing a similar tool.
Ms. Kimball asked Ms. Kierkiewicz if she and Ms. Lee Loy have explored any preexisting condition
assessment tools. Ms. Kierkiewicz stated that looking at other tools will be part of the work and other
tools may be adopted in the process.
Ms. Villegas asked why the Department of Parks and Recreation has not been included in the group.
Ms. Kierkiewicz answered that the Planning Department and the Department of Public Works were
both included as Ms. Kierkiewicz is the Chair of the Planning Committee and
Ms. Lee Loy is the Chair of the Public Works &Mass Transit Committee. Ms. Lee Loy added that
once the tool is developed, other council members may utilize the tool in their own way, including
working with the relevant departments that coincide with their committee assignments.
Chair Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder brought forth concerns regarding his request for a Kona member and
Ms. Kimball's request for a data analysis. Ms. Kierkiewicz stated that the Office of the Corporation
Council advised the group that it would be best to come up with an objective tool and not be a part of
the work. Regarding membership, Ms. Kierkiewicz stated that creating an ad hoe group would be too
complex for the narrowed scope of work and reiterated that any Council Member may work with the
tool.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 142-21, as
amended to Draft 2, and recommends its adoption.
