Bill No. 155 amends Ordinance No. 11-40, by deleting the following projects: 1) Pool Drainage Covers
($500,000); 2) Banyan Beach Parking Lot ($300,000); and 3) Kalaniana`ole Interceptor Sewer
Rehabilitation Phase 2 ($6.9 million). Funds would be redirected to badly needed major maintenance on
wastewater and other county facilities, primarily police and fire stations, to include resolving ADA
compliance issues.
Finance Director Nancy Crawford and Deputy Finance Director Deanna Sako appeared before Your
Committee for questions. Ms Crawford stated that some of the projects on the list are either completed,
active or postponed indefinitely. She was able to inform the Council that the Banyan Beach Parking Lot
project will be removed indefinitely from the list due to issues with private property and title. She also
stated that the Pool Drainage Covers project and the Kalaniana`ole Interceptor Sewer Rehabilitation
Phase 2 project were completed with funds from another source.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 155, and recommends
its passage on first reading.
