Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred Communication No. 249 and
attached Resolution No. 97-01, reports as follows:
Communication No. 249 is from Assistant Corporation Counsel Gerald Takase transmitting for council review and
consideration Resolution No. 97-O1 authorizing the acceptance of Road Parcel A-3, together with a l0-foot wide future
road widening easement from the trustees of the Estate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop situated at Alae, District Of South Hilo,
County and State of Hawaii and identified as Tax Map Key (3) 2-6-009:022.
Resolution No. 97-01 states that the County of Hawaii has made roadway improvements to this area and that acquisition
of the subject road parcel and adjoining right-of--way is required to replace an existing bridge on Kaiwiki Road. It also
states that the County of Hawaii has maintained this bridge for at least thirty years. Resolution No. 97-O1, if approved,
would authorize the County of Hawai' i to execute a quitclaim deed of Road Parcel A-3 and accept a future 10-foot wide
road easement and aright-of--way.
In discussion, Councilmember Tyler questioned the form and legality of the resolution and the reasoning behind
performing multiple real estate transactions at the same time. Councilmember Yagong informed committee members that
without acceptance of this resolution, the County of Hawaii would not be able to use federal monies to improve the
bridge or roadway. At the request of the Committee, the Office of the Corporation Counsel agreed to review and
comment on the form and legality of this resolution and provide an opinion on such before the next scheduled Council
meeting.
Councilmember J. Curtis Tyler III, voted kanalua times two.
Your Committee is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 97-01, and recommends its adoption.
