WHEREAS, Chapter 2, Article 36, of the Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), established the Geothermal Relocation and Community Benefits Program and the Geothermal Relocation
and Community Benefits Fund, which are administered by the Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 36, Section 2-181, of the Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), allowable expenditures for public purposes relating to the Geothermal
Relocation and Community Benefits program include, but are not limited to, road improvements, water infrastructure, land acquisition, parks and recreational facility needs, civil defense,
and mass transit improvements, provided that appropriations are recommended by the Planning Director and adopted by the Hawai‘i County Council; and
WHEREAS, according to the Hawai‘i Fire Department, between 2016 and 2021, there were approximately 1,650 fire-related calls in the lower Puna district, which accounted for nearly 35%
of all fire-related calls island wide; and
WHEREAS, the Hawai‘i Fire Department’s Station 10 in Pāhoa is in dire need of one mobile self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) compressor unit ($178,000 estimate), 20 SCBA bottles
