Re: Amend Resolution 168-21
Resolution 168-21 specified that the Mayor would be authorized to execute, on behalf of
the County, an agreement and related documents with the University of Hawaii to fund
the"Kuleana Health"project in an amount up to $100,000. However, the correct funding
amount is up to $200,000.
Enclosed is a resolution to amend resolution 168-21 to indicate that the funding amount
be changed from the indicated $100,000 to $200,000.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Yoshi Otake or Bob Agres of the
Department of Research and Development at 961-84961961-8501.
