Re: Resolution to adopt USDA Form Resolution 1780-27
The County of Hawaii proposes to issue its general obligation bonds to evidence its repayment
obligations for a loan to be obtained from the United States of America, acting through the
United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service ("USDA"), in an amount not to
exceed $275,000.00. These bonds are to fund a portion of the costs of certain public water
system improvements for the Iki Place, Kohanaiki Homesteads, North Kona, Hawaii.
Enclosed is a resolution requesting the Council to authorize the adoption of USDA Form
Resolution 1780-27 providing for a USDA loan to finance the improvements indicated above.
Time is of the essence regarding this bill and the accompanying resolutions. We are therefore
requesting to waive it from the Finance Committee in order to be placed on the August 6, 2025
Council agenda. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Chris Nakano of the
Finance Department, Treasury Division at 933-6240.
