Re: Comm. No. 212/Res. No. 117-23
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 117-23, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 117-23, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna Sako, via Communication No. 212
dated March 30, 2023, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than one fiscal
year for a multi-year agreement to add a Command Central Community module to the Police
Department's current records management system.
This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement with Motorola,
with an approximate cost of $13,950 for the first year and $13,200 thereafter for a total cost of
$66,750.
Committee Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked Police Major Thomas Shopay to provide some
background on this measure.
Committee Member Holeka Goro Inaba asked Mr. Shopay to clarify how long it would take the
department to review a report and follow up once it is reported via this platform, to which Mr. Shopay
replied that officers would reply by the end of their shift.
Committee Member Michelle Galimba commented that this is a great idea and wanted to know the cost
of the overall system, to which Mr. Shopay replied that he did not have those numbers on hand.
Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked Mr. Shopay to state the cost to taxpayers over the next five years.
Mr. Shopay replied that it would cost an average of $14,000 per year. However, this would save
taxpayers money because it would avoid the cost of hiring more personnel and minimize time spent in
the field. Mr. Kaneali `i-Kleinfelder asked how this platform would interface with officers. Mr. Shopay
replied that once the department develops the form with appropriate fields and tabs, the process would
replicate what an officer would need for a report. The report would then go into the workflow of the
different districts for review.
Pursuant to Section 10-11, Hawaii County Charter, any contract, lease or other obligation requiring
payment of funds from the appropriations of a later fiscal year or more than one fiscal year shall be
approved by Council resolution.
