Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 208-25, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 208-25, transmitted by Finance Director Diane Nakagawa via Communication
No. 325, dated May 15, 2025, authorizes the payment of funds of later fiscal years to enter into a
multi -year lease agreement for three fire apparatuses to be used by the Hawaii Fire Department.
This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement with an approximate total
monthly cost of $92,693.10, to replace units at Haihai, Kealakekua, and Makalei Fire Stations.
Assistant Fire Chief Darwin Okinana was present in Chambers.
Committee Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked the age of the three apparatuses being replaced.
Mr. Okinaka confirmed the apparatuses at Kealakekua and Makdkei Fire Stations are 18 and 19 years
old, and the Haihai apparatus is 13 years old. Mr. Okinaka shared that fire apparatuses are typically
replaced every 15 year, but due to use and frequent cost of repairs they are replacing the Haihai fire
apparatus sooner.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 208-25, and
recommends its adoption.
