HAWAI`I COUNTY COUNCIL
25 Aupuni Street, Ste. 1402.
Hilo, Hawai 'i 96720
J
DATE: January 14, 2025
TO: Dr. Holeka Goro Inaba, Council Chair
and Members of the Hawaii County Council
FROM: Heather L. Kimball, Council Member
Council District 1
SUBJECT: Formation of an ad hoc committee for review of grant-in-aid applications
for FY 25-26 Waiwai grants-in-aid program.
Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 92-2.5(b), I am requesting approximately fifteen
minutes on the February 4, 2025 agenda of the Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions
Committee for the formation of a permitted interaction group. This group is intended to be
constituted as an ad hoc committee to review and make recommendations on grant applications
from nonprofit organizations submitted to the Finance Department under the procedures
established in the Hawaii County Code, Article 25, and specifically in Section 2-139(a)(1)(C).
The scope of this committee will be limited to:
• Investigating and making relevant inquiries to nonprofit organizations the director of
finance deems eligible, pursuant to Section 2-139(a)(1)(B), to receive grant awards, and
then recommending appropriation amounts to the Council for funding in the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
The ad hoc committee will include myself and other council members that will comprise less
than a majority of the whole Council.
Once the ad hoc committee is established, HRS Section 92-2.5(b)(1)(C) requires the findings and
recommendations of its investigation to be presented at a future meeting of the Legislative
Approvals and Acquisitions Committee.
Participating Council members' staff will be enlisted to facilitate meetings and to provide
technical, logistical and clerical support.
