No. 421-19 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> Hilo, Hawaii I <br /> TIME: 5:30 p.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 421-19,reports as follows: <br /> Resolution No. 421-19, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna Sako, via Communication No. 630 <br /> dated November 14, 2019, transfers/appropriates an appropriation out and from a designated fund <br /> account and credits same to a designated fund account. <br /> This resolution transfers $12,320 from the Hamakua Police—Other Current Expenses account and <br /> credits to the North Hilo Police—Other Current Expenses account, to maintain operations at the <br /> North Hilo Police Station. <br /> Council Member Valerie Poindexter commented that this facility had a zero budget and because of that <br /> the community was concerned of losing the police station and did not want the Laupahoehoe Police <br /> Station to close. The community was reassured that they would not lose the Laupahoehoe Police <br /> Station, and the Police Chief also assured Ms. Poindexter of that. <br /> Council Member Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked if the North Hilo Police Station's budget had <br /> increased in the last budget cycle. Finance Director Deanna Sako responded that it was not increased <br /> and that a couple of stations were consolidated. Police Chief Paul Ferreira stated when he looked at the <br /> budget for North Hilo, it was zeroed out totally, and reassured everyone he was not planning to close the <br /> station and expressed to the community he is not one to give up something he already has. He noted the <br /> small amounts that are shown are minimal because it has been prorated for the remainder of the fiscal <br /> year, and that in the upcoming budget, the full amount necessary to maintain the building will be <br /> reinstated. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 421-19, and <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> dmm <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> CHUNG X <br /> DAVID X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> EOFF X <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X -- <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X t / <br /> LEE LOY X / <br /> POINDEXTER X MAIZE MEDEIROS DAVID, CHAIR <br /> RICHARDS X FC REPORT NO.: 90 <br /> VILLEGAS X ADOPTED: DEC 1 8 2019 <br />
