Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 197, reports as follows:
Bill No. 197, transmitted by Finance Director Diane Nakagawa via Communication No. 994, dated
August 14, 2024, amends Ordinance No. 24-32, as amended,the Operating Budget for the County of
Hawai`i for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
This bill increases revenues in the State Grants—Career Criminal Program account($55,034); and
appropriates the same to the Career Criminal Prosecution Program account, for a total appropriation of
$546,168. Funds would be used to support nine positions in the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
Finance Deputy Director Aaron Brown appeared in the Hilo Chambers.
Committee Member Heather Kimball stated that there is no accompanying resolution to this bill and
questioned if this was intentional or an oversight. Mr. Brown said that he would need to verify that
with the department and would be able to answer this at a later date.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 197, and recommends
its passage on first reading.
