i <br /> i <br /> REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE N FINANCE <br /> DATE: January 24, 2023 Re: Comm. No. 59/Bill No. 16 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i <br /> TIME: 10:30 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance,to which was referred Bill No. 16, reports as follows: <br /> Bill 16,transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako, via Communication No. 59 dated <br /> January 5, 2023, amends Ordinance No. 22-63, as amended, relating to the Operating Budget for the <br /> County of Hawaii for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. <br /> This bill decreases revenues in the Fire Volunteer Other Current Expenses account(-$62,500); and <br /> appropriates the same to the Fire Volunteer Equipment account($62,500). Funds would be used to <br /> supplement the purchase of a brush truck for a volunteer station. <br /> Committee Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked Ms. Sako to explain the process of transferring <br /> departmental funds from one account to another, further asking whether or not a transfer can happen <br /> within the department or would need to occur via an ordinance. Ms. Sako replied that an internal <br /> transfer would be standard practice; however, in this case, because the fund account does not exist,the <br /> department would need to create an account via an ordinance and obtain Council's approval. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 16, and recommends its <br /> passage on first reading. <br /> Ik <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> EVANS X <br /> GALIMBA X COMMITTEE ON FINANC <br /> INABA X <br /> KAGIWADA X _ <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X MATT KANEALI` -KLEIN LDER, <br /> KIMBALL X CHAIR <br /> LEE LOY X FC REPO NO.- 13 <br /> VILLEGAS X ADOPTED: 2023 <br />
