REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
Re: Comm. No. 488/Bill No. 79
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 79, reports as follows:
Bill No. 79, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako via Communication No. 488 dated
September 15, 2023, amends Ordinance No. 23-50, as amended, the Operating Budget for the County
of Hawaii for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
This bill increases revenues in the State Emergency Medical Services account ($617,702); and
appropriates the same to the Emergency Medical Services Other Current Expenses account ($474,008);
and the Retirement Benefits account ($143,694). Funds would be used to cover collective bargaining
agreement salaries, fringe benefits, and operational increases.
Batallion Chief Chris Honda introduced Accountant Nikol Lonokapu, who provided a brief overview
of this measure.
Committee Member Ashley L. Kierkiewicz thanked Ms. Lonokapu and Mr. Honda for the information.
Ms. Kierkiewicz asked if this funding was to create new positions, to which Ms. Lonokapu replied that
it was not.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 79, and recommends
its passage on first reading.
