Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 245-09, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 245-09, transmitted by Director of Finance Nancy Crawford, via Communication No.
545, dated September 22, 2009, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than
one fiscal year for a multi-year lease for a copy machine.
The Office of Management wishes to enter into a five-year lease contract for a multi-function copier.
The office is in need of a more technically advanced copier with faxing, scanning, and network printing
capabilities. Since the current copier is over eight years old, the acquisition of the new multi-function
copier should increase the productivity and efficiency of the office.
Pursuant to Section 10-11 of the Hawaii County Charter, any contract, lease or other obligation
requiring payment of funds from the appropriations of a later fiscal year must be approved by resolution.
Finance Director Nancy Crawford. came forward and stated the cost for similar leases of a multi-function
copier is approximately $4,000 per year.
Chair Yagong questioned what happens to the old copiers when the County replaces them.
Ms. Crawford responded that the County never takes ownership of copiers. The copiers are under lease
agreement and are returned to the manufacturer.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 245-09 and
recommends its adoption.
