Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 251-09, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 251-09, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford via Communication.
No. 565, dated October 1,2009, authorizes the Office of the Mayor to enter into an agreement
with the City and County of Honolulu for real property tax program support services as well as
authorizes the payment of funds for more than one fiscal year for this agreement.
The real property tax administrators of the four counties realize that they have common concerns
and need to support each other. It was determined that benefits could be realized by working
together to share resources. As a result, through a cost sharing agreement with the City and
County of Honolulu, certain real property services will be provided to support our county's real
property tax program.
Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawai'i Revised Statutes, County Departments must obtain the consent
of the Council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting action to
be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend and receive any funds
or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those
powers.
Pursuant to Section 10-11, Hawai'i 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.
Council Member Ford asked for clarification on the contract terms in Section 2 and suggested
that the City and County of Honolulu should provide the detailed accounting of its charges
without the County having to request one.
Council Member Hoffmann requested a copy of the appraisal manual be brought to the next
hearing of this resolution, if possible.
Finance Director Nancy Crawford assured the Council Members that Real Property Tax
Administrator Stanley Sitko will be present at the Council Meeting to answer their questions.
