Heather Kimball, chairwoman of the Big Island’s legislative body, said the Council is “deeply, deeply saddened and heartbroken” by the events on Maui and that Hawai’i County stands ready to help.
The proposed Hawai‘i County operating budget for the next fiscal year includes estimated revenues and appropriations of more than $831.6 million, with the suggested capital budget seeking more than $358 million for capital improvement projects on the Big Island.
Following an override of Mayor Mitch Roth’s veto, Bill 194 is now a Hawai‘i County ordinance that brings requests for time extensions for zoning changes to come back to the County Council.
