Budget chair and other members agreed to add language from a prior floor draft dealing with emergency powers after noting that a related bill (Bill 36) had failed earlier. Council member Cardenio moved to further amend the FD1 to include that proviso; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call.

Chair Waters framed the decision in a broader context about timing and leadership: \"I've decided to withdraw my floor draft and instead trust our budget chair, go forward with the CD 2 as amended by what was just stated today.\" Waters also explained the public‑safety rationale behind retaining the mayoral access language: \"...in the event there was a hurricane or earthquake, we want to give the mayor the ability to access these emergency funds without having to come to us. If there's a hurricane or earthquake, that's the language that's always been in there.\"

Council member Cardenio moved the verbal amendment on the floor: \"So moved. Would like to amend, further amend the proposed FD 1, by council member dos Santos Tam, to include the proviso stated that was just stated.\" The clerk later confirmed the OCS reference as OCS2025-0462 for the item on the calendar.

The council asked whether there were objections or reservations before waiving the 48‑hour notice; Council member Cordero recorded \"Reservations\" on the floor. After the clerk called the roll, the clerk reported \"there are 9 ayes,\" and the adoption was recorded as CR184: \"CR184 has been adopted in bill 22. CD 2 FD 1 has passed third reading.\"

The action preserves language granting the mayor access to emergency funds in a declared disaster and advances Bill 22 on third reading. Council discussion noted the procedural choice to revert to the budget chair's amended draft and that members had debated further amendments earlier in the meeting; Cordero's recorded reservation was entered without changing the outcome.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-06-04 Regular Council Meeting PT3","oneSentenceSummary","The Honolulu City Council amended Bill 22 (CD2) to include language preserving emergency powers that allow the mayor to access funds without prior council approval in a disaster; the amendment passed by roll call (recorded as CR184) with one council member registering reservations.","taxTitle","Honolulu City, Honolulu County, Hawaii","taxId",61746,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6211715,"Honolulu City Council amends capital budget to restore Waianae police station funding",534,29000,563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3690139-d78c03e70612b9770cfb0bcac3dd9ecf&start=29&end=563","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3690139-d78c03e70612b9770cfb0bcac3dd9ecf/thumbnail_29000.jpg","/articles/6211715/Honolulu-City/Honolulu-County/Hawaii/Honolulu-City-Council-amends-capital-budget-to-restore-Waianae-police-station-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211715-08e411ce4469eeabffe623fd41474df3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184083&Signature=X05mBd5qpIRyaCJHlZ8W8Etsacq5EC0vvLPCPRK-cTp5dCmRHOrm8y0yZundQkC5T1OX5XJE6fQewzjrMTmOOd3i8MKM4souptO4-7DjM1y6wtLkMPccQwo8ZsnPBp0UassgL69RsNah~Gn6E9rZhx356hcoX5TRRM0YFXxm9R53uhEhh7Uardd2cBIVmrhLMy5xowKzGfhaGktfjl0nNQ8zzDWXYJ1NZqgWcGLFEmH-1iSzxHPGHM1ksEr6xj5f0MSAgZXQVcyiwaIpPWQPoC5VDKcYBbbcKTtBGMdOOvNyvX1~WEz-9zKrljy6u2zIaqajYpULCqUS1o6YbFj6xQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Honolulu City Council on the evening docket amended Bill 23 (CD2) to an FD1 that appropriates $1,200,000,000 for the executive capital budget and reinserts funding for the Waianae Police Station, Council member Tupelo moved and the Council approved the amendment by roll call.

The amendment matters because it restores a $1,700,000 line for project number 1995009 (Waianae Police Station improvements) that had been removed; Council members said the item was reinserted to allow completion of the project after a bid protest. Public commenters from the Waianae/West Side urged approval, saying the appropriation would aid public safety and community organizing.

Council member Tupelo introduced the motion on the record: \"I move that we amend bill 23 c d 2 to an f d 1.\" The clerk confirmed the Office of Council Services (OCS) reference for the draft as OCS2025-0500\\/6\\/4\\/2025 (time stamp 05:36PM). The motion was seconded (recorded verbally in the transcript as \"I seconded it\").

Tupelo summarized the amendment: \"This appropriates 1,200,000,000.0 for the executive capital budget and makes substantive changes which are noted in bold text ... It's on page 8, project number 1995009. Waianae Police station improvements, 1,700,000.0, and this is due to a bid protest, and we're going to reinsert it so that we can finish the project.\" That explanation was followed by two members of the public who spoke in favor.

A public testifier said, \"I wanna approve the amendments, of course, for 1 night ... so we can get the thing forward and moving through,\" expressing support for moving the budget forward. Another speaker, Austin Salcedo, testified in support, saying the appropriation had been \"long overdue for our community\" and thanking the councilmember who pushed for it. Angela Melody Young, testifying on behalf of CARES, said, \"Without a police station, this community is still coming together, to support the West Side,\" and urged appropriation so the district could continue organizing and addressing safety concerns.

During public comment, Tara Rojas asked whether pockets of vacancy savings or cash could be used to reduce proposed sewer costs and requested follow‑up about next steps; a council member replied that the membership was not prepared to direct Budget and Fiscal Services to use cash instead of revenue bonds at that time.

After the public testimony and brief discussion, the council waived the 48‑hour notice requirement under Council Rule 19(g) by unanimous voice and adopted the amendment on roll call. The clerk recorded \"there are 9 ayes,\" and the record note CR185 was filed as the adoption of the bill: \"CR185 has been adopted in bill 23. CD 2. FD 1 has passed third reading.\"

The action returns the Waianae Police Station appropriation to the capital budget and advances Bill 23 to final adoption; the transcript shows community members asked for further details about related sewer funding and financing options but no formal direction to staff on that question was adopted during this item.","The Honolulu City Council amended Bill 23 (CD2) to a hand‑carried FD1 that appropriates $1.2 billion for the executive capital budget and reinserts $1.7 million for the Waianae Police Station after a bid protest; the amendment passed by roll call at about 9 p.m.","actionData","errors"]
