Your Committee on Finance, to which was a referred Resolution No.l 76-04, report as follows:
Resolution No. 176-04, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication No. 578,
dated March 29, 2004, repeals Resolution 99-01 and authorizes the Director of Finance to accept the
return of real property being parcel I I, situated at Kauhako, South Kona, Island, County and State of
Hawaii, Tax Map Key: (3)8-6-009:01 I.
On July 3 L 2001, the County Council adopted Resolution No. 99-01 which authorized the Director of
Finance to dispose of real property being parcel 1 1, situated at Kauhako, South Kona, Island, County and
State of Hawai'i.'fMK (3)8-6-009:01 I, to the Department of Water Supply as a site upon which to build
the Ho'okena standpipe facility.
The proposed resolution repeals Resolution No. 99-O1 and authorizes die Director of Finance to accept
the return of real property from the Department of Water Supply as they have decided no to build the
standpipe facility at the site.
Pursuant to Section I-6 and I-7, Hawaii County Code, the Council may repeal any resolution or
ordinance.
Glenn Ahuna from the Department of Water Supply, explained that the reason the department is returning
the aforementioned site back to the County is that a consultant, hired to do the engineering, archaeological
study, and site investigation, found the site impractical for several reasons. One of the reasons is that the
State I lighway raised die level of the shoulder and the department would have to add about I S to 20 feet
of fill. With so much fill, there is concern it may impact or collapse a cave located beneath the site. In
addition. there was concern that the department was granted a quitclaim deed rather then a warranty deed
for the property
Your Committee on Finance is in accord widt the purpose and intent of Resolution No. U6-Od and
recommends its adoption.
