REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
Re: Comm. No. 415/Res. No. 234-23
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 234-23, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 234-23, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako, via Communication No. 415
dated August 16, 2023, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than one
fiscal year for a multi-year agreement for an Enterprise Resource Planning system.
This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a 10 -year agreement at an estimated annual cost
of $2,200,000, for a software system used to accounting, procurement, project management, risk
and compliance management, and supply chain operations.
Committee Member Ashley L. Kierkiewicz asked Controller Kay Oshiro to provide background
information. Ms. Oshiro stated that she is limited on what she can share, as Finance Director
Deanna Sako is currently in the procurement process, but could provide some information.
Committee Member Susan L. K. Lee Loy stated that she has difficulty approving multi-year lease
agreements but is absolutely on board with this agreement. Ms. Lee Loy noted that a previous system
needed much customization and asked Ms. Oshiro if there was a budget for that precisely, to which she
replied that she didn't think so.
Committee Member Michelle Galimba asked if this new system has a robust support system. Ms. Oshiro
replied that adequate systems support services were a high priority in their search for a new system.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 234-23, and
recommends its adoption.
