action to be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend, and receive any funds or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant
to those powers; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaiʻi County Charter Section 10-11 requires that any contract, lease or other obligation requiring payment of funds from the appropriations of a later fiscal year or of
more than one fiscal year be approved by resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense Agency wishes to enter into a Non-Exclusive License Agreement with the University of Hawaiʻi, a public body corporate and the public Licensor

radio communications network to facilitate the Hawaiʻi County Auxiliary Communications Service; and
WHEREAS, this nine (9) year License Agreement will support the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense Agency’s continued desire to supplement its connectivity for the Island of Hawaiʻi by extending
