Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 145, reports as follows:
Bill No. 145, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication No. 436, dated
November 27, 2001, amends Ordinance No. 01-56, as amended, the Capital Budget, ending June 30, 2002, by
adding the following project:
PARKS AND RECREATION:
No'okena Beach Park Improvements 1 10-599-5597.88 $125,000
Funds for this project shall be provided from general obligation bonds, capital projects fund-fund balance and
or/other sources.
Funds will be used for upgrading of camping, picnicking, accessibility, and parking facilities, infrastructure
upgrading, and renovation of the former restroom building. Lapsed funds from the prior appropriation will be
used to fund this reappropriation.
Your Committee heard testimony in opposition to the measure from Mr. Norman Olesen, former Executive
Assistant and American Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator, expressing his concern that the aforementionec•.
project is not on th4 ADA compliance project Schedule 1 list, which is part of a federal ruling to accomplish more
than 220 ADA projects in ten years' time.
The Department of Parks and Recreation informed Your Committee during its discussion that this improvement
was specified in a 1999 bond float.
Some members of Your Committee were concerned with Mr. Norman Olesen's testimony and requested a legal
opi~~ion from the Office of the Corporation Counsel prior to the next Council meeting.
For informational purposes, Mr. Tyler voted kanalua then yes.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 145 and recommends it pass first
reading.
