TO: J Yoshimoto, Chair
And Members of the Hawai`i County Council
FROM: Dennis "Fresh" Onishi, Council Member V`" _
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 284-14 : A Resolution urging the Hawai`i State
Legislature to pass House Bill 1671, which will increase Transient
Accommodations Tax revenue to the counties.
Attached is a resolution urging the Hawai`i State Legislature to pass House Bill 1671,
which would remove the current cap on the counties share of transient accommodation
tax (TAT)revenue and instead reserve to the counties 44.8 percent of collected TAT

RE: Resolution No. 284-14 : A Resolution urging the Hawai`i State Legislature to pass
House Bill 1671, which will increase Transient Accommodations Tax revenue to the
counties.
Pursuant to Section 2(g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawai`i, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic Development to the full
Council for immediate action. In reviewing this matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore
advantageous that approval is granted and the matter be placed onto the next Council agenda for
review. However, in the event this request is denied, for whatever reason, I understand the
matter shall be referred to the Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic
Development for placement on its future agenda.
