Reference: Comm. 479 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B/R) (Note: Comm. 479.1, from Environmental Management Director Ramzi Mansour dated October 2, 2023, transmitting presentation material to Res. 281-23, was circulated.) Motion to Approve: Ms. Kimball moved to recommend adoption of Res. 281-23. Seconded by Ms. Galimba. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Members, discussion? MS. KIMBALL: I think we have our director here who has provided us with some picture documentation on these. So, let's invite him up to speak? CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Council Member Kimball. Mr. Mansour, go ahead when you are ready, and you have a number of resolutions. Are you speaking on all of them or just Resolution 281? Okay, introduce yourself when you're ready. And we're late today, so if you could do your best. Page 2 FC-20 October 3,2023 (Note: At this time, Department of Environmental Management Director Ramzi Mansour came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MR. MANSOUR: Ramzi Mansour, Director for DEM, and I'm here to do a quick presentation for you in regards to heavy equipment that our department needs. So,just to kind of give you an idea of the type of equipment, the heavy equipment that we utilize at the landfill, this is the West side landfill. This is a dozer, bulldozer. It pushes the waste uphill, and the other machinery is the compactor that allows us to compact the waste to get a better density because the airspace for the landfill is very, very valuable. I thought I could add that visualization so you guys could actually see the equipment that we're asking for. (Note: At this time, Mr. Mansour provided a PowerPoint presentation to the members of the Committee. For viewing of the presentation, see the DVD copy of the proceedings on file in the Clerk's Office, or online at http:Hhawaiicountygranicus.com. Copies of the presentations are made part of the record, see Comm. 479.1 and Comm. 480.1.) CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Director. Questions from the Council? Council Member Inaba, go ahead. MR. INABA: That compactor that caught on fire, how old was it? MR. MANSOUR: It was the year 2001. MR. INABA: And the typical or the expected lifespan for this next one is what? MR. MANSOUR: It's usually 20-plus years. So, this one has probably got its own lifespan. We're going to have a better maintenance program as we move forward with the new equipment. Currently, our maintenance of heavy equipment does not exist. So, we are in the process of securing the heavy-equipment mechanics. We also have budgeted for a mechanic's truck that could drive around at night, after-hours to make sure that they grease and maintain this heavy construction equipment. MR. INABA: And you said, we currently don't have a maintenance program? So, how did that thing last 20 years? MR. MANSOUR: That's the lifespan of these machineries. And usually, like I said, Department of Public Works, they send people just during work, which is like 3:30 (p.m.); and we cannot get off the machine, because our landfill hours goes beyond that. So, the logistics, and part of it is we do improvements to make sure we have our own staff that does it after hours. Page 3 FC-20 October 3,2023 MR. INABA: Thank you. Chair, I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Kierkiewicz. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you. I'll be supporting this request. I think it's important for us to start moving forward on the procurement process, given how long it's going to take to actually get this equipment on island. That way we can continue delivering essential services, but also to ensure the health and safety of our really hardworking staff. So, thank you, Director for illuminating us with these visuals. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Evans. MS. EVANS: Hello. So, since I started in December, there's several times you've come and asked us for equipment. And you've pretty much forewarned us, the aging of your equipment, it's prettyyou've got a big list of very old equipment. So, I'm assuming we'll see you again. So, I may have asked you before, but you have to refresh my memory. When we do leasing, it's not a lease purchase, it's basically a lease and they do not maintain it? Or do they guarantee—we will always be able to get the parts? What do we get from the person we're leasing it from? MR. MANSOUR: This is lease-to-own for the sake of lower payments. So, rather than just come up with the entire amount, let's say a million dollars up front, so the idea is to just break that million dollars over five years. Just for financing flexibility at lower payments. We still do the maintenance on them, pretty much like you're buying it, but it's over five years payments. MS. EVANS: Alright, got it. Thank you. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Okay, so no further discussion. Director, thank you for providing us information on the leases, because usually it says, "the requests." So, at least we got a little bit of something. We got some videos, and we got some basic information on why. So, thank you for providing that. Council Members, seeing no further discussion, we have the motion on the floor to forward Resolution 281-23 to Council with a favorable recommendation, all in favor? Any opposed? Page 4 FC-20 October 3,2023 Vote on Res. 281-23: The motion to recommend adoption of Res. 281-23 was (Approved) carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Committee Members Evans, Galimba, Inaba, Kagiwada, Kierkiewicz, Kimball, Lee Loy, and Chair Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder—8. Noes: None. Absent: Committee Member Villegas — 1. Excused: None. Res. 282-23: AUTHORIZES THE PAYMENT OF FUNDS OF A LATER FISCAL YEAR AND OF MORE THAN ONE FISCAL YEAR FOR A MULTI-YEAR LEASE FOR ONE LANDFILL COMPACTOR FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement at an approximate monthly cost of$25,000 to replace equipment deemed inoperable due to fire loss. Reference: Comm. 480 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B/R) (Note: Comm. 480.1, from Environmental Management Director Ramzi Mansour dated October 2, 2023, transmitting presentation material to Res. 282-23, was circulated.) Motion to Approve: Ms. Kimball moved to recommend adoption of Res. 282-23. Seconded by Mr. Inaba. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Members, given the discussion from the Director previously, is there any further discussion? Council Member Galimba, go ahead. MS. GALIMBA: A couple quick questions. How did the fire start? MR. MANSOUR: The fire started around my understanding, 2:00 o'clock in the morning. The machine was idol. So, we don't know how the fire started, because nobody was at the site when the fire started. But my understanding, it was reported to the Fire Department, and the fire was put out around 7:30 in the morning. MS. GALIMBA: Okay. Was it like the area around it or was it just the equipment that was on fire? Page 5 FC-20 October 3,2023 MR. MANSOUR: I think it started with the equipment itself. MS. GALIMBA: Okay, interesting. Okay, and the other question was on that video. I assume Waikoloa, that's where the video was taken, correct? MR. MANSOUR: Yes. That's our West side landfill, correct. MS. GALIMBA: And so, what is the lifespan of that? MR. MANSOUR: Currently, the lifespan is probably between 20 and 25 years. It depends on the density. A good example of that compactor now, because we won't have it; with the dozer doing the work of the compactor, we're losing 50 percent compaction on the waste. So, we're losing airspace. So, the sooner we get the compactor we get back into gaining some of that airspace. So, it depends on the growth; it depends on the type of demolitions we're going to be taking in. It could fill up quick, or you know, it could fill up slow if we could start diverting more and recycling more. So, 20 to 25 is a safe number to use. MS. GALIMBA: Thank you. A somewhat off-topic, but do we have a Plan B for 20 years? Because, in my experience it takes about 20 years to permit a new landfill. MR. MANSOUR: You're right. Actually, Plan B is already in motion. We hired a consultant. They're going to be coming to you soon. They're going to conduct interviews with, I believe, each one of you. And they're going to present it before you on the Solid Waste Operational Study, that's going to analyze the current system proposed, the future system, and from any possible expansion to possibly looking at siting a landfill on the East side, and what have you. So, that topic is already in motion as we speak. But you're correct, it's going to take 15 years to permit a site, if you can find a piece of land and go through the process. MS. GALIMBA: Thank you very much. And of course, I'll support having another compactor. MR. MANSOUR: Thank you. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Council Member. Seeing no more discussion, the motion is on the floor, Council Members, all in favor of forwarding Resolution 282-23 to Council with a favorable recommendation. Any opposed? Page 6 FC-20 October 3,2023 Vote on Res. 282-23: The motion to recommend adoption of Res. 282-23 was (Approved) carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Committee Members Evans, Galimba, Inaba, Kagiwada, Kierkiewicz, Kimball, Lee Loy, and Chair Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder—8.

Res. 283-23: AUTHORIZES THE PAYMENT OF FUNDS OF A LATER FISCAL YEAR AND OF MORE THAN ONE FISCAL YEAR FOR A MULTI-YEAR LEASE FOR THE HAWAII COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT Authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement for Tasers and associated equipment to be utilized by Police Officers island wide. Reference: Comm. 481 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B Motion to Approve: Ms. Kimball moved to recommend adoption of Res. 283-23. Seconded by Ms. Lee Loy. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: We do have Mr. Carvalho joining us today. Thank you for waiting patiently, Sir. You want to give us some background on the resolution in front of us? (Note: At this time, Hawaii Police Sergeant Aaron Carvalho came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MR. CARVALHO: The Hawaii County Police Department's current electronic control device is the Taser X2. This model is currently outdated and out of warranty. Axon no longer produces them. So that means when we have equipment that breaks, we will not be able to replace them. The model that we're proposing to go with is the Taser 10, which is the newest model that they have available on the market. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Okay, thank you very much. Council Members? Council Member Kagiwada, go ahead. MS. KAGIWADA: Thank you. Just wondering what is associated equipment, just so I understand? Page 7 FC-20 October 3,2023 MR. CARVALHO: Associated equipment could be, it includes the holsters, the training suits, the cartridges. So, the way Axon does this now is everything is inclusive with the price. So, all of our expendables are the associated equipment, which will be the training cartridges, live cartridges, and training suits. MS. KAGIWADA: Okay, great. Thank you, I just wanted to understand that. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Kierkiewicz. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Officer, for being here, and I also see representatives from Finance Department. I might have questions for you too. I'm going to be supporting this, but just trying to understand how many tasers we're going to be able to purchase or lease through this program, and maybe, Director Sako, some information around how much might be budgeted to support this expense? MR. CARVALHO: I'm sorry, Ma'am, is that question for me? MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Yes, the first one. MR. CARVALHO: So, the amount that we estimated is to equip all sworn personnel within the department. I don't have that exact number. I think it was roughly 480, around there. It was authorized. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you for that. Hi, Director. (Note: At this time, Finance Director Deanna Sako came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MS. SAKO: Hi, good morning. I do recall that it was a significant amount because we are replacing the tasers for all the sworn-in officers, as he said. So, I didn't bring that number with me, but we can get it for next reading. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: For Council, okay. I think that would be great for us to know how much all of this is going to cost. And is it lease-to-own or we're just leasing and at the end of five years we'll get new equipment? What's the plan? MR. CARVALHO: It is, I guess the term would be lease-to-own. It is ours once we—after the final payment; it's broken down in a five-year contract. But at the end of that, that equipment is ours. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Okay, and then we have like a maintenance plan for this equipment? Like, what's the lifespan? Page 8 FC-20 October 3,2023 MR. CARVALHO: During the five years, it's inclusive with the cost. And as we near the end of the contract, would be when we'd have to look at—knowing that our contract is ending, we'd have to evaluate the cost of the associated equipment, which would no longer be covered such as the expendables, the cartridges, and then also take a look at the technology and see where we're at. If there is new technology and a newer model to engage in a new contract or to keep status quo. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: So, the ones that officers are currently using but are outdated, do we ship them back to the manufacturer for recycling, like what happens to them? MR. CARVALHO: Yeah, so I'm working with Axon to send, well when get the new ones, we either destroy them or have Axon destroy them and send us a certified letter indicating such. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Okay, and then maybe by year-four, you'll conduct an assessment around next steps for this particular program? MR. CARVALHO: That's correct Ma'am. No, that's correct. Probably, maybe a little bit more ahead of time for the next one. Probably between year three and four, if the decisions are made then the proper procurement of funds can be made. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: That's great. I appreciate when folks are proactive and have a plan. Could you share with us how often tasers have been used by department personnel? MR. CARVALHO: Okay, I don't have the exact statistics on me. We do keep a record of all use of force personnel. I'm in Kona today. I had a previous meeting as well. So, I'm outside of the office, but I can provide you with the statistics for the year; how often the tasers were used. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Okay, that would be really helpful. Thank you so much, Officer. Thank you, Director, for the information for Council. Chair, I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Inaba. MR. INABA: I just want to clarify or request that when we do go to Council, either the resolution be amended, or we have some type of communication that explains it in writing for the record. If we're ever to look back, what's the number of tasers and the amount, and then any of those associated equipment. Thank you. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Yeah, we look forward to that information, Mr. Carvalho. Page 9 FC-20 October 3,2023 MR. CARVALHO: Yes, Sir. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Okay, seeing no more discussion, the motion on the floor to forward Resolution 283-23 to Council with a favorable recommendation. All in favor? Any opposed? Vote on Res. 283-23: The motion to recommend adoption of Res. 283-23 was (Approved) carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Committee Members Evans, Galimba, Inaba, Kagiwada, Kierkiewicz, Kimball, Lee Loy, and Chair Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder—8. Noes: None. Absent: Committee Member Villegas — 1. Excused: None. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: I'm going to roll down to Bill 79, please. Change Order As directed by the Chair and with no objection from the Committee Members, of Business: the following items were taken out of order. Bill 79: AMENDS ORDINANCE NO. 23-50, AS AMENDED, THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE COUNTY OF HAWAII FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2024 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. Reference: Comm. 488 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B/R) Motion to Approve: Ms. Kimball moved to recommend passage of Bill 79 on first reading. Seconded by Ms. Galimba. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Thank you for being here today, Battalion Chief, go ahead. (Note: At this time, Fire Battalion Chief Chris Honda and Accountant IV Nikol Lonokapu came forward to address the members of the Committee.) Page 10 FC-20 October 3,2023 MR. HONDA: Good morning, Council. I'm Battalion Chief Chris Honda for the Fire Department, EMS (Emergency Medical Services) branch. I brought our Accountant IV, Nikol Lonokapu, who can help answer questions that you may have or if there's any questions, basically, whatever questions you have on our budget; on our ask and where we're at. MS. LONOKAPU: So, basically, this is just to increase the appropriation of our revenue and expenditures. So, the State is expected to give us more money than we expected. So, with this amendment to the budget, it will bring us up to $25,562,606 in expected revenues and expenditures for the EMS program. So right now, we have a contract in place for $23 million. So the difference with the State, within the fiscal year, the State is expected to increase and send us a new contract to amend it. And that should be covering the bargaining unit increases, the fringes that go with that, and some operations. Does that make sense? CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Okay, perfect. Thank you. Council Members? Seeing no discussion, thank you very much for being here. Appreciate it. MR. HONDA: If I may add in, I think a big ask for us was our Vehicle Replacement Plan. I know that has been a very hot topic, not only for us, but statewide. We're very fortunate to get the support from the State on that. So, we got our million-dollar ask, and we are replacing four more ambulances this year, which is crucial for us. So, happy to share that with you. And then, we'll share with you more information on the LUCAS (Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System) devices when we receive them. They're enroute to us currently, and then when we do receive it, you know, we'll reach out to all of you, if you want to do any kind of presentation or be involved in that acceptance. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you very much, Battalion Chief Honda. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Chair. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Member Kierkiewicz, go ahead. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thanks for elaborating, Chief Honda. Thank you, Nikol. Really appreciate the Legislature's, you know, continued kokua of this really important service for our County. And just to point out, we are the only department in the entire State where our firefighters also serve as EMS. With this additional funding, I know that there is,you know, fulfilling collective bargaining obligations. But also wondering if more positions are going to be created with these funds. Page 11 FC-20 October 3,2023 MS. LONOKAPU: No, it's just to keep us at current staffing. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Current staff levels. Okay,perfect. Just wanted to clarify. Thank you Chair, I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Seeing no further discussion. Council Members, motion is on the floor to forward Bill 79 to Council with a favorable recommendation, all in favor? Any opposed?

CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Chief, thanks for waiting. Go ahead when you're ready. (Note: At this time, Fire Chief Kazuo Todd came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MR. TODD: Yes, we're just basically—we used to have a tower at Leleiwi. It was a wooden tower that, long ago kind of got to the point where we needed to take it down due to safety issues. We're looking to reestablish and basically expand our services back into that area with another tower that will last longer and is made out of fiberglass. Page 12 FC-20 October 3,2023 CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Okay, straightforward. Thank you, Nikol for being here today. Council Members, discussion?

KELTNER: Thank you, Chair and Council Members. My name is Tory Keltner, I'm the Program Manager of Traffic Services at the Hawaii Police Department. Appreciate the opportunity to come forward and speak about some of the things that we have here. This particular case, we're actually looking at updating some information in our it's the Traffic Records Grant that we refer to it as data information in that we're hoping to move forward and get some pieces and parts of an electronic citation system up and running, if we can. Part of the purchase here would be to also get the thermal printers that would go along with that, kind of working with the State Department of Transportation and moving forward with the project there. So, I appreciate that. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Thank you very much, Mr. Keltner. Questions from the Council?

Page 14 FC-20 October 3,2023 CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Mr. Keltner, go ahead. MR. KELTNER: Thank you, Chair and Members of the Council. This is obviously of strong importance to the Police Department and to me personally. Occupant protection or seatbelts and child safety seats are critical to the safety of the people of our community. A strong enforcement effort is put forward by the department, and I think that directly reflects in the numbers of fatalities dropping for us over this last year. In Hawaii County, we're very lucky and a lot of work goes into this. Another push is for the educational side of it. You'll see more community-related information, and you know, advertisements and information are put forward out there. We actually had an opportunity to purchase child safety seats. I just did with the last grant funds,purchased another batch of those, that when we go out and do these clinics during the year for families who don't have the fortune of being able to purchase them, we give them away. You know, with the acknowledgement that the County is actually putting in the work and efforts to make people safe. It really helps these families. I've seen it, you know, many times, and people are really happy when we go forward and do that for them. We are going to increase the number of child safety seat technicians in the County. So, that means there are officers involved, and we actually now have staff. One of the clerks at Traffic Services went this last year, and she's actually in-house and will go here at the Hilo station and go out and help people as we need it, right then. So, we're trying to spread that out, not just to law enforcement that are out in the field, but also have some staff that are available to the community all the time. You know, where they can come in, and they get help, and we will go out and check and make sure that they're safe. So, thank you for this very much. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Kagiwada, go ahead. MS. KAGIWADA: Thank you, and thanks for bringing our attention to this important program. I wasn't really aware of what the Occupant Protection Program meant but thank you. Seatbelts and car seats, I get it now. As part of your program, is it when people have babies like at Hilo Hospital or something, do you have something so that you can check their child safety seats upon going home? MR. KELTNER: Actually, through our grant, it isn't that way. We don't have officers there, but we work with, you know, different facilities. I have meetings, Page 15 FC-20 October 3,2023 not weekly, but a couple times a month where we come together, and we work together as a group. And we do have nurses, that you know, are at each of the hospitals that are working in programs to do that. So, it's not the Police Department directly, but I'm a big proponent of us working as a team. MS. KAGIWADA: Okay, so, you train people to check on this correct installment and that kind of thing? MR. KELTNER: Right, we have those technician trainings that's you know, three or four days of training time, where they actually then end up with hands on. They have people teaching them and then they have to show that they have the knowledge and do that. So, yeah, we definitely have it. MS. KAGIWADA: Great. And then when you do those, I think you said you do those community events, can you let us know when you're doing those then we can make sure that our constituents know those are happening. MR. KELTNER: Absolutely. MS. KAGIWADA: That would be great. MR. KELTNER: The 15'h of this month, we'll be doing one down here on the Bayfront, that we'll have, and they're actually going to do an enforcement effort. Then as a side, we'll be able to direct people to where we can help them, you know, do things the right way. MS. KAGIWADA: Okay, thank you so much, that would be helpful. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Mr. Keltner, are you the one in charge of applying for and working with different agencies for these grants? MR. KELTNER: Yes. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Good job. MR. KELTNER: Thank you. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Okay, seeing no more discussion, motion is on the floor to forward Bill 75 to Council with a favorable recommendation, all in favor? Any opposed?

Bill 76: AMENDS ORDINANCE NO. 23-50, AS AMENDED, THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE COUNTY OF HAWAII FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2024 Increases revenues in the Federal Grants —Hawai`i County Police Department Roadblock Program account($97,970.95); and appropriates the same to the Hawaii County Police Department Roadblock Program account, for a total appropriation of$522,970.95. These additional funds would be used to fund programs focused on reducing the number of drivers operating a vehicle while impaired. Reference: Comm. 485 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B/R) Motion to Approve: Ms. Kimball moved to recommend passage of Bill 76 on first reading. Seconded by Ms. Galimba. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Mr. Keltner. MR. KELTNER: Great. Thank you, Chair and Members of the Council again. This is another area that's of great concern in our community. Impaired driving has a terrible impact on many families, if not most families. And we, you know, move really strongly against trying to prevent that through enforcement, educational efforts, and advanced training for our officers. I'm very proud that we've had what's called a Drug Recognition Expert(DRE) School that we put on and actually had instructor schools here locally that we used our officers to train more officers, you know,throughout the State that have come in and done that over the last few years. We've done that. This year, we're going to focus on providing additional training to the officers that are already certified DRE's. We'll send out invitations to the other agencies and have them come in to Hawaii County and attend that as we did with the schools. Part of the reason we are not putting on a full-fledged DRE school and Instructor School, is one of the line items you see in there, is that we're going to Page 17 FC-20 October 3,2023 intend to purchase the Intoxilyzer 9,000, the new instrument that's out, the updated instrument that will help the officers when they're doing a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) investigation involving alcohol, where they can perform the test and do that. I had the opportunity this year and go and train as a technician on that particular instrument. So, that'll help so we can service the instruments locally and actually even help the other counties as well, if need be, so we can service them; and get that stuff done here; do a better, you know, all around job; and servicing stuff for a large group of people. So, this is a huge advancement. So, we took some of the funds that we would have typically to run that school with this year; set that back so we didn't have a large amount, and decided this is important that we get these new instruments, so the lifespan continues on those. So, thank you. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Discussion? Okay, hearing and seeing none, motion is on the floor to forward Bill 76 to Council with a favorable recommendation, all in favor? Any opposed?

These additional funds would be used for training, education, enforcement, and community collaboration to reduce the number of traffic fatalities and injuries. Reference: Comm. 486 Intr. by: Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder(B/R) Motion to Approve: Ms. Kimball moved to recommend passage of Bill 77 on first reading. Seconded by Ms. Galimba. Page 18 FC-20 October 3,2023 CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Mr. Keltner. Pretty small grant, but you might as well go ahead. MR. KELTNER: Right. Thank you for the opportunity again. This STEP (Special Traffic Enforcement Patrol) grant, is what it's referred to now for us, it includes the speed enforcement, distracted driving, and traffic services, which was for training and education of officers in kind of an overall law enforcement for traffic enforcement type things. One of the big ones that you've seen, I hope you guys have seen, the blue message boards that we had particularly down in Puna and in Hilo. They have, you now, law enforcement messages on them when we have campaign periods, "Wear your Seatbelts." But they're able to provide all kinds of messages. If there's an emergency message or things that come out, we can put those and not have to rely on or deplete something from Public Works or State Highways. We have our own. So, there's an additional purchase of two more of these to put them in Kona and South Kohala. We're going to eventually get them in every location we can, so that we can get the information out to the public. You know, from law enforcement now. Because it's really important for the safety things that we're delivering a common message that we can get that out. Just another educational piece to it that I think has helped us a lot. Then, in all of these, some of the fringe rates changed. They obviously increased. So, there was an increase in some of that, but that was you know, an anticipated increase in there. So, thank you. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Discussion? Council Member Lee Loy, go ahead. MS. LEE LOY: Thank you. I'm in support, but I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I did some quick math here, and you know, these four bills are about$150,000, but the overall funding that you've brought in through these four grants is closer to $1.3 million. So, thank you for doing that and helping us help our community. Really appreciate you. MR. KELTNER: I appreciate the opportunity and the trust that is there. I mean, we work as a group. All of us work together, you know, to try and make things better for our community. It helps me to come in and sit in and listen to the good things that you guys are doing each time and to sit through this. So, I appreciate it, and thank you guys for all you do. MS. LEE LOY: Thank you again, I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Kierkiewicz. Page 19 FC-20 October 3,2023 MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you. I just wanted to echo the sentiments of my colleague. Mr. Keltner, I've been here for five years now, and every year you come in with more grants and just humbly talk about the work that the department is doing. I just want you to know, that we see you, we appreciate you, and just reflecting upon, sort of the changes over the year going from exclusively enforcing the law to kind of shifting and really investing in our community through education and awareness campaigns. So,just want to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate all that you do to support the department and our community. Thank you, Chair, I yield. CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: Thank you.

CHR KANEALII-KLEINFELDER: I'm looking for our department, Office of Housing and Community Development. I think we're going to take Ms. Sako in lieu of them. We did run late today, so I can understand why they might not be online right now. Ms. Sako, do you have any information on this? Page 20 FC-20 October 3,2023 (Note: At this time, Finance Director Deanna Sako came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MS. SAKO: I believe this is a new grant to go towards the implementation of our new Homeless Shelter Program. So, the cost is going to cover are things like meals, facility maintenance, and staff. And just to kind of lead the whole program. So, we're happy to have additional funding. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Is Sharon on? Okay, Sharon, can you hear us? Okay, let's go to questions from the Council while we're waiting. Any questions that maybe Deanna can provide assistance with? Council Member Kagiwada, go ahead. MS. KAGIWADA: Thank you. So, it says shelter for East side. Do you know, do you have any idea of that? Which shelter are we talking about? MS. SAKO: You know, I guess I assumed it was there I see Sharon,just in time. Because I was going to assume it's the one up by Rainbow Falls, but I wasn't positive about that. MS. KAGIWADA: Okay. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Hi Sharon, we are discussing Resolution 284 right now for the DHS (Department of Human Services) Federal funds in the amount of$2 million from the State Department of Human Services. Go ahead and give us some background. Deanna gave us as much as she could and we're going to pass the ball to you now, and Ms. Kagiwada has the floor. (Note: At this time, Office of Housing and Community Development Specialist Sharon Hirota came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MS. HIROTA: Aloha, Sharon Hirota, County of Hawaii with the Office of Housing and Community Development. Thank you for allowing me to share information about the resolution and ordinance coming forward. So, our office was able to secure $2 million in federal funding to support building capacity around increasing the number of shelter beds available to our island residents. This is in East Hawaii. We haven't as of yet identified the project except that we are proposing to do it in a space here in Hilo. So, it is not I think I remember and heard the reference to 34 Rainbow Drive. This will be a new facility that we're hoping to stand up. Page 21 FC-20 October 3,2023 MS. KAGIWADA: Thank you, Sharon. This is Jenn Kagiwada. Just so—do you have a definite—do you know who it's going to be for? Is it going to be for men, for women, for couples, families? Do you know anything about that? MS. HIROTA: Right now, based on the information that we have, we will be focusing on individuals and couples. MS. KAGIWADA: Okay, thank you. When you say other services, meals, and such, do you have anything in your plan for outreach with the community depending on where it is? MS. HIROTA: Yes, that is all part of the process. It starts with engagement and then, encouraging to seek shelter. Then, wrapping them around and connecting them to other resources, and appropriate longer-term housing. MS. KAGIWADA: Okay, terrific. If it ends up being in my district, I'd love to work with you on making sure the constituents know what's going on in their neighborhoods and stuff, okay. MS. HIROTA: Most definitely. MS. KAGIWADA: Thank you so much. MS. HIROTA: You're welcome. MS. KAGIWADA: I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Council Member Kierkiewicz, go ahead. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Thank you, Chair. Aloha, Sharon, great to see you. What's the timeline for implementation of this new shelter program? MS. HIROTA: We're hoping to have something—being very aggressive here, but once we get the funding in place, hoping to get something started up in early January. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Okay, that's great to know. That is new shelters available to community by January? MS. HIROTA: New shelter beds. Yes, that is our goal. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: In existing facilities? Page 22 FC-20 October 3,2023 MS. HIROTA: No. we're entertaining new opportunities that are ahead. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Would that include using the shelters that we purchased during COVID, that were temporarily erected, at like NAS (Naval Air Station) pool? Are those being utilized? MS. HIROTA: So, the ones that were at like NAS pool, some of them were given to local nonprofits to build capacity within their shelters. The majority of them were distributed to different County departments for their use. We still have 18 of those units in Kona. While it's not in operation, we have plans to move six of them to another project site that's managed by one of our nonprofit providers to build their capacity. Then, we're still looking at opportunities as to what we would do with the remaining 12. MS. KIERKIEWICZ: Okay, beautiful. Thank you for that. If there are plans that you're able to share with the Council, we definitely—always an open invitation to come and share more information, because I know that this is a hot topic. Not just in Hilo and Kona, but there's certainly a problem that I would love help addressing in the Pahoa region. Thank you, Chair, I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you.

Seconded by Ms. Galimba. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Council Members, discussion? Council Member Galimba, go ahead. MS. GALIMBA: I just wanted to perhaps Council Member Kimball knows where Kaiwilahilahi Bridge is, north of Honoli`i. Is it nearby, do you know? MS. KIMBALL: I don't know and I actuallyI'm not sure, I don't know directions here—which one that is. MS. GALIMBA: Okay,just curious, never mind. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Just for general information, the Financial Impact Statement/Project Data sheet says, District 1. So, I would think this is District 1, but I have seen these to be a little bit outdated sometimes. So, maybe we follow-up at Council with questions for the department? MS. GALIMBA: Yeah, sounds good. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Mr. Pause, Director, thank you for being here. There was a question, Ms. Galimba, could you restate? MS. GALIMBA: Yes. So, I was wondering about the bridge at Kaiwilahilahi Stream, where is that? (Note: At this time, Public Works Director Steve Pause came forward to address the members of the Committee.) MR. PAUSE: Steve Pause, Public Works Director, I apologize. You guys were bouncing around on your agenda and messed me up. They're both in Hamakua. I don't have the exact locations, but they're both off-system, non-federalized bridges, which means that they would not be eligible for our typical STIP (State Transportation Improvement Program) type funding. So, that one happens to be currently closed. Then, the Honoli`i Bridge is open. But again, the repairs are associated with just doing some foundation work, spalling road type stuff, and the money came in through the IIJA, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, through working with our partners at to help us get the funding. MS. GALIMBA: Thanks, yeah, obviously, very happy. I'm sure all of those bridges in Hamakua could use a lot of work. So, the bridge is not on the main highway? Is that kind of what you're saying? MR. PAUSE: No, it's not. Page 25 FC-20 October 3,2023 MS. GALIMBA: So, like Honoli`i, it's that back smaller bridge? MR. PAUSE: That, sort of bypass, yeah. MS. GALIMBA: So, this probably be similar in another spot. Okay, I'll look it up later. Thanks. MR. PAUSE: I apologize. I should have brought a map, but I didn't, sorry. MS. GALIMBA: No worries. I yield. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you, Council Member. Council Member Kimball, go ahead. MS. KIMBALL: Yeah, Council Member Inaba was able to look it up. It's actually in Papa`aloa. So, it is one of the sections of old Mamalahoa. I have to say like these two, there's so many other bridges in my district that we're trying to fix right now. These weren't even on my radar but thank you, Director Pause for working with DOT (State Department of Transportation) to get us some of these funds to help with these bridges, because it never seems like the list ends. So, appreciate your work on this. I yield Chair. CHR KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER: Thank you. Okay, thank you, Director, for being here.

I think you guys recall that we did a CRF (Contingency Relief Fund) for the same amount. So, we're both chipping in and making this happen for the residents who really value their plants. They're all out in their yards right now, which is probably hard for the groundskeeping staff. So, making them some planter boxes is really going to make everybody happy.
