Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 498-14, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 498-14, transmitted by Council Member J Yoshimoto, via Communication No. 994
dated August 18, 2014, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than one fiscal
year for a multi-year lease of two copy machines for the Office of the County Clerk.
The resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement at an approximate cost of
$185 per month, with an additional approximate cost of$0.0089 per copy.
Council Member Ford spoke in support of the resolution; however, she expressed concern that the price per
copy seemed high.
Deputy Finance Director Deanna Sako appeared before the Finance Committee for questions. She stated that
the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contracts are used to assist in pricing copies.
Council Member Illagan spoke in support of Resolution No. 498-14. He requested that an amendment be
considered to add an additional copier for use at the Pahoa office. Chair Yoshimoto addressed Mr. Ilagan
and informed him that he would look into it as a separate resolution.
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 or of more than one fiscal year shall be
made or approved by resolution.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 498-14, and
recommends its adoption.
