REPORT OF THE <br />COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br />DATE: November 19, 2024 <br />PLACE: Council Chambers <br />Kailua-Kona, Hawaii <br />TIME: 11:30 a.m. <br />Council Chair and Members <br />Hawaii County Council <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Re: Comm. No. 1159/Res. No. 713-24 <br />Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 713-24, reports as follows: <br />Resolution No. 713-24, transmitted by Finance Director Diane Nakagawa via Communication <br />No. 1159, dated October 30, 2024, changes the time element of a half-time Recreation Technician II <br />position to full-time. <br />This resolution requests adjustment to full-time with the intent to reallocate the position to a position <br />that would increase public safety and reduce the County's liability. <br />Parks and Recreation Director Maurice Messina and Recreation Division Administrator Lindsey Iyo <br />were present in the Hilo Council Chambers for questions. <br />Ms. Iyo provided background on this measure. <br />Committee Member Jenn Kagiwada noted that the current half-time position listing did not have <br />specific certifications and asked Ms. Iyo if that would then mean that the full-time position would <br />have those certifications and additional training, to which Ms. Iyo confirmed. <br />Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 713-24, and <br />recommends its adoption. <br />Ikh <br />AYES <br />NOES <br />ABS <br />EX <br />EVANS <br />X <br />GALIMBA <br />X <br />INABA <br />X <br />KAGIWADA <br />X <br />KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER <br />X <br />KIERKIEWICZ <br />X <br />KIMBALL <br />X <br />LEE LOY <br />V ILLEGAS <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE O FINANCE <br />MATT KANEAL ` -KL NFELDER, <br />CHAIR <br />ADOPTED:0' <br />
