DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2027.
WHEREAS, Article XIII, Section 13-12, of the Charter of the County of Hawaiʻi provides that the Council, “on behalf of the county, may accept gifts of donations of money, securities
or other personal property or of real estate or any interest in real estate”; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 2, Article 30, Section 2-162(b), of the Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended) states that a “gift or donation of money, securities, or personal property
not covered by the capitalization procedures shall be submitted to the council by letter for its approval”; and
WHEREAS, donations of commodities not covered by the capitalization procedures of the Department of Finance are made by various entities throughout the year to the County and are accepted
by the Council via letter during a duly noticed meeting of the Council; and
WHEREAS, although both the executive and legislative branches of the County place a high priority on expediting the acceptance of these donations, the process is often lengthy; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the public that a more expeditious manner of accepting uncapitalized donations be implemented; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAI‘I that, henceforth, all donations received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, that are not covered by the capitalization
procedures of the Department of Finance are hereby accepted by the Council, on behalf of the County, upon receipt by the County, provided that, at the end of each quarter, a report
of the donations received is submitted to the Council by the Director of Finance.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall transmit a copy of this resolution to the Honorable C. Kimo Alameda, Mayor of the County of Hawaiʻi; Diane T. Nakagawa, Director of
Finance; and, and Renee N. C. Schoen, Corporation Counsel.
Dated at _____________, Hawai‘i, this ______ day of ___________________, 20___.
