Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Communication No. 836, reports as follows:
Communication No. 836, transmitted by Mayor Harry Kim dated March 21, 2018, nominates
Nelson H. Harano to the Hawai`i County Tax Board of Review.
Ms. Rose Bautista, Executive Assistant to Mayor Kim, introduced Nelson H. Harano. Mr. Harano's
experience as a tax manager for Aloha Business Services, Inc., and past work as an accountant/small
business owner makes him uniquely qualified for the Tax Board of Review. He was recently confirmed
for reappointment to the Salary Commission at which time the Council spoke favorably for his
reappointment.
Mr. Harano stated that it would be an honor to serve on the Tax Board of Review. Council Members
expressed support of Mr. Harano's appointment to the commission. If confirmed, he will serve to fill a
term expiring December 31, 2022.
Chair David informed Mr. Harano that he did not need to appear at the next Council meeting for
confirmation of his appointment.
Pursuant to Section 19-96 of the Hawai`i County Code, there shall be a Tax Board of Review, which
shall consist of nine members appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the Council.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Communication No. 836, and
recommends confirmation of the appointment of Nelson H. Harano to the Hawai`i County Tax Board of
Review.
