No. 587Bill No. 100 <br />Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 100, reports as follows: <br />Bill No. 100, transmitted by Mayor C. Kimo Alameda via Communication No. 587, dated <br />October 16, 2025, amends Ordinance No. 25-45, as amended, the Operating Budget of the County <br />of Hawaii for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. <br />This bill appropriates revenues in the State Grants — SS4A-County of Hawaii Smart and Safe <br />Intersection Demonstration Project account ($840,000); and appropriates the same to the SS4A-County <br />of Hawaii Smart and Safe Intersection Demonstration Project account. <br />Public Works Business Manager Kelsey Kalua-Lewis was present and provided a brief overview of <br />this project. Deputy Finance Director Malia Kekai was also present. <br />Committee Member Jenn Kagiwada asked why this bill was before the Council again. Ms. Kekai <br />confirmed that the Committee had previously approved this matter. Ms. Kalua-Lewis noted that the <br />department was unable to spend the funds within the contracted time and the department needs to <br />renew this account to spend down the funds or risk forfeiting them. <br />Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 100, and recommends <br />its passage on first reading. <br />IN. <br />AYES <br />NOES <br />ABS <br />EX <br />GALIMBA <br />X <br />HUSTACE <br />X <br />INABA <br />X <br />KAGIWADA <br />X <br />KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER <br />X <br />KIERKIEWICZ <br />X <br />KIMBALL <br />% <br />ONISHI <br />X <br />VILLEGAS <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITE ON FINANCE <br />MATT KA-KLEINFELDER, <br />CHAIR <br />FC REPORT NO.: 105 <br />ADOPTED: NOV 1 9 2025 <br />
