Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 222, reports as follows:
Bill No. 222, transmitted by Valerie T. Poindexter, via Communication No. 934, dated July 7, 2016, transmits an
Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 16-73, relating to public improvements and financing thereof for the fiscal
year July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017.
This bill adds the Parks and Recreation Wainaku Gym Facility Repairs and Renovation— County project for
$2,250,000 to the Capital Budget. Funds for this project shall be provided from General Obligation Bonds,
Capital Projects Fund— Fund Balance and/or Other Sources ($2,250,000). Funds would be used for
renovations and upgrades, including structural investigation and repair of the foundation settlement;
replacement of ceilings, walls, fixtures, equipment, and furnishings; repair of doors and windows; repainting;
and accessibility improvements.
Council Member Valerie Poindexter stated that she had the opportunity to meet with the Department of Parks
and Recreation regarding the need for renovations, upgrades, and also the need for this facility to become
ADA compliant.
Parks and Recreation Deputy Director James Komata stated that over time there has been settlement in the
foundation, and one of the primary things that he needs to investigate is the long-term integrity of the
building. He also stated that a septic system has been put in, that there is a significant amount of interior
painting to be done, and that there are inoperable windows that need fixing.
Several Council Members spoke in favor of this measure.
Pursuant to Section 10-6(e) of the Hawai`i County Charter, at any time during the fiscal year, the Council, by
ordinance adopted by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the entire membership, may amend the
capital budget for that year.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 222, and recommends its
passage on first reading.
