Seconded by Ms. Kierkiewicz. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: For a little background, this is normal. We get this every year. But the question was posed to me, what do we want to do with this, so I asked for it to be agendized. This gives this a place in our agenda and a number; so when we do have about inventory, who has what, how many trucks in what department, who has how many trimmers, whatever it may be, you can now reference this Communication 985 in the future to look back. And before it was submitted—and this is a huge document. It's not where you know, we're a large County, we have a big inventory. So given the size of the document, this is available. And correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Clerk, but it's in our Laserfiche system now? MR. HENRICKS: That is correct, the entire document should be located under this communication number in the Laserfiche repository. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Beautiful. So that is a good place to look if you have questions later on down the line, especially towards budget season. But with that, seeing no further discussion from the Council. Motion is on the floor to close file on Communication 985, all in favor?

CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Ms. Villegas, you want to lead the discussion? MS. VILLEGAS: Yes. First off, I want to thank Mr. Rapoza for being here and representing the landowners. I also want to thank you for your passionate support of the PONC (Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Commission) purchases of property, and this great relationship you have established, especially Page 3 FC-43 September 20,2022 in District 7, with identifying properties and bringing them forward for the public good. You know, there's incredible depth of information and historical facts and knowledge as well as lineage, as the testifier just brought forward, of the significance of this property, and the value that it would add to the people and the community, to protect I believe this is the last open piece of property on Keauhou Bay, which is a highly utilized space by community members and `ohana, and could potentially open up some of the space there, available for people to appreciate, and yeah, have a safe and healthy gathering space. So I just ask for my colleagues' support in moving this resolution forward and working with the Administration to secure the purchase of this property with the PONC funds. And with that, I'll yield at this time. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Ms. Villegas. Council Members? Ms. David. MS. DAVID: Thank you, Chair. Ms. Villegas, thank you for bringing this forward. And I'm looking at the map, Mr. Rapoza, being the two parcels, the two TMK (Tax Map Key)parcels. That's on the north side of the boat ramp, the existing boat ramp and tennis courts? MR. RAPOZA: Yes, it is. MS. DAVID: Perfect. So I believe when you come down on that road, the County restroom facility is on the lot right next, so these are going to be two parcels makai of those two lots? MR. RAPOZA: Yes, so there is no County restrooms— MS. DAVID: So that's a public MR. RAPOZA: In Keauhou Bay. MS. DAVID: Oh, okay. MR. RAPOZA: And the restrooms that I think you're speaking of are on Kamehameha Schools land. MS. DAVID: Oh, okay. MR. RAPOZA: And they are not operating at this time. MS. DAVID: Oh, okay. Page 4 FC-43 September 20,2022 MR. RAPOZA: But these two parcels are immediately adjacent through that access through Kamehameha III road, then we have a roadway easement through that parcel you spoke of. MS. DAVID: I see. MR. RAPOZA: And then we also have already installed water and sewer to the parcels. MS. DAVID: Oh, my. Okay, perfect. I didn't realize the restrooms were not functional. That's how long I haven't been down there. Okay, I know exactly where this place is. And this is such a great piece of property to purchase because it kind of like encompasses the entire bay, where the other historic monuments are, where the pier is. So thank you very much for representing the owners and allowing this to become a part of the PONC purchase. So, I will be supporting this wholeheartedly. And mahalo for your attendance this morning. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Mahalo, Ms. David. Anyone else? Ms. Kierkiewicz. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to extend my gratitude and congrats. I'll be supporting this resolution. Thank you for bringing it forward. It's quite a jewel. I mean, there are so many different historical and cultural features here, plus the recreational pieces. I mean, I'm really excited about the Finance Department moving in this direction. So thank you, Council Member Villegas, for putting this forward. Thank you, Chair. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Ms. Kierkiewicz. Okay, seeing no further discussion. I'll be supporting this today. Thank you for being here, Mr. Rapoza; and thank you, Ms. Villegas for bringing this forward. We have the motion on the floor. Council Members, all in favor?

Funds for these projects shall be provided from General Obligation Bonds, Capital Projects Fund–Fund Balance and/or other Sources ($5 million), and State Grants Receivable ($5 million), and would be used for the planning, design, and construction for a new Papa`aloa gym. Reference: Comm. 982 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B/R) Motion to Approve: Ms. Lee Loy moved to recommend passage of Bill 210 on first reading. Seconded by Ms. Villegas. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Members, discussion? Ms. David, go ahead. MS. DAVID: Thank you, Chair. And I was asked in the absence of Mr. Inaba, and at the request of Council Member Kimball since she's not here, to just express—first of all, I'd like to thank Lucille Chung for coming by and having her testimony on the record, and I want to thank her for that. But according to Heather, this gym had to be demolished because of severe termite damage. It was the community that came together and worked really hard to get some of the funding from the State. The State approved a $5 million budget, and the $5 million County-match is necessary in order to get this project off the ground. It's a great community benefit because this area is an important gathering place for the people of the community. And on behalf of Council Member Kimball, I request your support. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Mahalo, Ms. David. Okay, seeing none. Motion is on the floor. And then mahalo, Ms. David, for taking the place of Mr. Inaba and Ms. Kimball, in giving that—for that explanation. Appreciate it. And we do have the Director of Parks and Recreation here today. Thank you for your time, sir. Okay, seeing no further discussion or questions. The motion is on the floor. Council Members, all in favor?

CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Members, any discussion? Okay seeing none. I think this is a great project. I'm really excited to see this move forward. We do have Mr. Sako online. Glenn, did you want to say anything today? (Note: At this time, Research and Development Economic Specialist Glenn Sako came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MR. SAKO: I don't have to say anything, but I just appreciate your support. And we look forward to this exciting project. Hopefully, we can get rid of some of that nasty gorse on the slopes of Mauna Kea and turn it into a viable livestock feed that I'm sure would get Councilman Richards all excited, as livestock feed is one of our major challenges for livestock industry. So I certainly appreciate your support, and I'll be available if you have any questions. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you very much, sir. Mr. Richards, I see you're kind of poised for a response on your end. Go ahead. MR. RICHARDS: I've got to weigh in after that one from Glenn. But absolutely, yes, we have the nuts and bolts in place, meaning we have the small Feed Mill. Page 7 FC-43 September 20,2022 And I'm looking at the breakdown of the gorse, this is a real potential, so it could be a big win. And so Mr. Sako is right, I am very interested in this. I yield. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Mahalo, Mr. Richards. Anyone else? Okay. And I have to agree, I see this as a potential stepping stone, for really moving towards sustainability of our feed and projects like this on Hawaii Island. I think gorse would just be the beginning, as we start looking at different alternative crops for what we can do on our island. So I appreciate the movement and momentum to this point. I look forward to seeing this move forward. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate your comments. And with thatoh, Mr. Chung, go ahead. MR. CHUNG: Yeah, I may as well say something. I mean, a debt of gratitude needs to be given to—he came the last time, Pomai Freitas, yeah. He came up with this idea. He kind of put different concepts together and just came up with this stuff, and it has the potential for really, you know, I don't want to use the word "revolutionize,"but I guess I'll use it, revolutionize, you know, the use of some kind of meddlesome invasive species, yeah. So,just kudos to him. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Mr. Chung. Appreciate it. With that, we do have the motion on the floor to forward Resolution 537-22 with a favorable recommendation.

CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Any discussion, Council Members. Seeing none. You know, I want to mahalo the folks involved in this. And I see Ms. Lisa Faulkner-Inouye's name on here. Mahalo, Lisa. But I also want to speak on the resale value of Toyota 4Runners. This is a six-year old Toyota 4Runner holding its value at$28,000. Pretty good. It really speaks to these 4-Runners.

CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Members, discussion? And I do have Deanna Sako joining us today in Hilo. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Chair? CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Ms. Kierkiewicz, go ahead. Director Sako? Page 9 FC-43 September 20,2022 (Note: At this time, Finance Director Deanna Sako came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Hi, Director. MS. SAKO: Hi. Good morning. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thanks for being with us. Could you just provide an overview of this particular cashiering system? MS. SAKO: Yeah, this is a specialized cashiering system that works with our Vehicle Registration and Licensing System. So we connect to the City and County of Honolulu for all of the vehicle registrations, for example. And this particular system goes in and gathers that data and allows us to process a transaction much more quickly, and then balance more quickly at the end of the day. We've had it for about five years, and so this is a five-year—the next five-year maintenance agreement. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Got it. Okay, Director, couple of things. I typically send in, you know, mail in a check or go to the kiosk for vehicle registration. MS. SAKO: Right. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Super convenient to go to those kiosks. But when I had to renew my driver's license, they didn't accept credit cards. MS. SAKO: Yes MS. KIERKIEWICZ: And so would this particular system allow our Licensing Division to now accept cards as part of a payment option? MS. SAKO: I can double-check with them to see if this one would allow us. We probably would need a service provider to actually do the credit card transactions, but it's something that we can take a look at. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Okay. I think I was down to like the last three checks of my life, so I was really lucky that day, but I was able to get my license. MS. SAKO: Yes. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: I don't know how many other folks roll around with checks or have that kind of cash available. I think it's a really great modern convenience. And anything that we can do to support your department in making that happen,just let us know. Page 10 FC-43 September 20,2022 MS. SAKO: Great. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you for looking into it. MS. SAKO: Yep. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Chair. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Ms. Kierkiewicz. Anyone else? Okay. Ms. Sako, before you get up—sorry. MS. SAKO: That's okay. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Is this part of the system that runs the kiosks in the different— MS. ifferentMS. SAKO: So the kiosk is a separate vendor that statewide we went together and selected a vendor. So you should be able to renew your vehicle registration for any island of those kiosks. But that's an independent vendor. But it is a way that would allow you to use a credit card. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Okay. Yeah, cause you can use a credit card there, but I also just really enjoyed the ease of accessibility, and the shortness of that process is really nice. MS. SAKO: Yeah, and it's available any hour that the building's open. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: True. Good point. Okay, thank you, Ms. Sako. I appreciate it. Okay, Council Members, any discussion?
