Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 665-18,reports as follows:
Resolution 665-18, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako, via Communication
No. 1038 dated August 15,2018, authorizes the Office of the Mayor to enter into an agreement
with the United States Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs pursuant to Hawai`i
Revised Statutes Section 46-7, for a grant to the Hawai`i County Police Department.
The funds in the amount of$113,387 would be used to purchase a driving simulator for the
Police Department's Emergency Vehicle Operator Course as well as remedial training of
employees involved in traffic collisions.
Captain Aimee Wana appeared before Your Committee and explained that in addition to
training, the driving simulator will supplement the department's emergency vehicle operator
course, and will also be used to train employees who have been involved in traffic collisions.
Council Member Susan L.K. Lee Loy inquired whether the department had a place that was
adequate in size to house the simulator and whether it would require additional wiring or power
requirements. Captain Wana replied that the simulator is 10 feet by 10 feet which is the size of
an office they currently have available and would require basic power source.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 665-18,
and recommends its adoption.
