Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 21-13, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 21-13, transmitted by Senior Deputy Corporation Counsel Joseph K. Kamelamela, via
Communication No. 28 dated November 14, 2012, authorizes the acquisition of private property by
eminent domain, "fax Map Key: (3)2-2-014-010:0057 (pon), Suite 229B, situated at Hilo Lagoon
Centre, for the Department of Liquor Control Restoration Project.
The Department of Liquor Control will be making improvements to its office at the Hilo Lagoon Centre,
which will require the acquisition of additional space (909 square feet) adjacent to the current office.
The improvements will enlarge and relocate the Liquor Commission Conference Room to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements; and to better accommodate the meetings of the
Liquor Commission, the Liquor Control Adjudication Board, the officers and employees of the
department, and other boards and commission who use the room.
Liquor Control Director Gerald Takase came forward to address the members of the Committee and
explained the reasoning for condemnation acquisition versus leasing the property. He noted that the
method of using eminent domain would be a better option for the owner and the County.
Ms. Ford expressed concern regarding the value of investment not being disclosed, and inquired whether
or not this project was appropriated in the budget. She proposed an amendment to be made, showing
this information.
For informational purposes, Ms. Ford voted " kanalua" twice.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution 21-13, and
recommends its adoption.
