Your Committee on Finance,to which was referred Bill 4, reports as follows:
Bill No. 4, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako, via Communication No. 19 dated
December 2, 2022, amends Ordinance No. 22-64, as amended, relating to Public Improvements and
Financing thereof for the fiscal year July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.
This bill reappropriates lapsed fuel tax funds from prior fiscal years by establishing the following fuel tax
program appropriations to the Capital Budget: Roadway Projects (Engineering) ($1,288,729.07); Bridge
Inspection, Repair and Replacement Program(Engineering) ($15,892.03); and Local Road Improvements
(Highways) ($214,385.57), for a total appropriation of$1,519,006.67.
Committee Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked for clarification on how the Road Improvement
Projects are selected, as his concern is that there are no Puna road projects listed. Public Works' Director
Steve Pause acknowledged that the department needs to do more work in the Puna district to provide
Puna with connectivity. He also stated that they do have some Puna projects in the works, but those will
require a lot more work and collaboration.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 4, and recommends its
passage on first reading.
