A. REQUEST:
Requesting approval on accepting the donation of two, Tommy Lift Gates and their installation. One, to
be installed on Hawaii Police Department truck, bearing Hawaii license plate C of H 3624 assigned to
Community Policing Section, Area I. The second to be installed Hawaii Police Department truck, bearing Hawaii
license plate C of H 3632 assigned to Community Policing Section, Area 11. The Tommy Lift Gates are being
donated by Vibrant Hawaii, a nonprofit organization.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The Hawaii Police Department recently began a partnership in early 2023 with Vibrant Hawaii, a nonprofit
organization, with the goal of promoting community resiliency. In June 2023, over 60 individuals, including HPD
participated in the Vibrant Hawaii Resilience Hub Summit. During discussions with Vibrant Hawaii it was
determined the donation of Tommy Lift Gates fit into Vibrant Hawaii's goals and objectives by assisting HPD in
better serving the community. Through the acceptance of this donation, HPD will be able to better serve the
community in providing service delivery during major disasters and events that frequently take place on the Big
Island. It would greatly assist in the delivery of heavier, emergency equipment and supplies to remote areas. It
not only provides a means by which the improvement for public service can take place in the form of equipment
improvement, continuation of the partnership supports the department's objective as it relates to our Mission
statement. The total dollar amount of the donation is $14,439.78.
