Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution 267-12, reports as follows:
Resolution 267-12, transmitted by Council Member Brenda Ford via Communication No. 746,
dated June 12, 2012, is a resolution authorizing the Director of Finance to enter into negotiations
for the acquisition of a parcel (TMK: 8-1-009:051) in the Ahupua'a of Ka`awaloa, South Kona.
Chair Brenda Ford relinquished the chairmanship to Vice-Chair Dominic Yagong, and he
assumed chairmanship of the Finance Committee.
Ms. Ford commented the need for a bus stop and introduction of this CIP project process last
month. Ms. Ford is working with Department of Public Works (DPW) to start construction of
the bypass road. This acquisition is to allow for the slight redesign of the Mamalahoa Highway
to occur before the construction phase begins at the Mamalahoa Highway and the Napo`opo`o
Road Intersection. The construction of the bus stop must be simultaneous with the Mamalaoha
Highway and Napo`opo`o Road reconstruction. Furthermore, Ms. Ford has been in
communication with Mass Transit Administrator Tom Brown, DPW Director Warren Lee,
Traffic Division Chief Ron Thiel, on the acquisition of this property and creating a Park and
Ride bus stop.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution 267-12, and
recommends its adoption.
