WHEREAS, Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes Section 46-7 requires the County to obtain consent of the Council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting 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 Police Department (“HPD”) desires the ability to enter into three Agreements, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, that will facilitate HPD’s ability
to serve and protect the County of Hawaiʻi through cooperative collaboration to keep our community safe, provide for the exchange of necessary information with outside agencies, and
other required partnerships with its State and Federal partners; and
WHEREAS, HPD intends to transmit a supplemental resolution for the Council’s consideration whenever any amendment to the Agreements contained in Exhibit A is desired by HPD; and
