Re: Comm. No. 526/Bill No. 92
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 92, reports as follows:
Bill No. 92, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako via Communication No. 526 dated
September 29, 2023, amends Ordinance No. 23-51, as amended, relating to public improvements and
financing thereof for the fiscal year July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
This bill adds the Public Works Islandwide Asphalt Concrete Paving Project ($3,000,000) to the
Capital Budget. Funds for this project shall be provided from General Obligation Bonds, Capital
Projects Fund — Fund Balance and/or other Sources, and would be used to resurface County
maintained roads islandwide.
Committee Member Susan L. K. Lee Loy asked for more details on this funding. Finance Director
Deanna Sako provided a brief overview of where the funding would come from. Ms. Lee Loy then
asked for more details on how the Department of Public Works plan to meet those goals of more roads
paved. Public Works Deputy Director Malia Kekai provided some background on how the department
plans to execute this.
Committee Member Michelle Galimba asked if these funds could be used for materials. Ms. Sako
stated that they may be able to use this for materials, but this was designated for the islandwide
paving contracts.
Committee Member Holeka Goro Inaba asked for details on the budgeted amount for this project
and where those funds would be taken from. Ms. Sako explained where these funds would be
transferred from and that the current appropriation should be sufficient to cover all of this and
other projects listed in the budget.
