Kimball, Council Chair <br /> and Members of the Hawai`i County Council <br /> FROM: Dr. Holeka Goro Inaba, Council Member <br /> Council District 8 <br /> SUBJECT: Formation of an ad hoc committee for review of grant-in-aid applications for <br /> FY24-25 Waiwai grants-in-aid program <br /> Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statues Section 92-2.5(b), I am requesting approximately fifteen <br /> minutes on the March 19, 2024, agenda of the Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions <br /> Committee for the formation of a permitted interaction group. This group is intended to be <br /> constituted as an ad hoc committee to review and make recommendations on grant applications <br /> from nonprofit organizations submitted to the Finance Department under the procedures <br /> established in the Hawai`i County Code, Article 25, and specifically in Section 2-139(a)(1)(C). <br /> The scope of this committee will be limited to: <br /> • Investigating and making relevant inquiries to nonprofit organizations the director of <br /> finance deems eligible, pursuant to Section 2-139(a)(1)(B), to receive grant awards, and <br /> then recommending appropriation amounts to the Council for funding in the fiscal year <br /> beginning July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. <br /> The ad hoc committee will include myself and other council members that will comprise less <br /> than a majority of the whole Council. <br /> Once the ad hoc committee is established, HRS Section 92-2.5(b)(1)(C) requires the findings and <br /> recommendations of its investigation to be presented at a future meeting of the Legislative <br /> Approvals and Acquisitions Committee. <br /> Participating Council members' staff will be enlisted to facilitate meetings and to provide <br /> technical, logistical and clerical support. <br /> HGI/wpb <br /> Comm.
