Council committee accepts donated meals provided to emergency operations center during Jan. 30 storm
Summary
The Committee on Public Safety and Customer Services recommended adoption of Resolution 25-60, accepting $1,074.30 in lunch and dinner meals from The Salvation Army for Emergency Operations Center personnel during the Jan. 30, 2025 storm response.
The Committee on Public Safety and Customer Services voted to report Resolution 25-60 out for adoption, accepting donated lunch and dinner meals valued at $1,074.30 from The Salvation Army, Hawaiian and Pacific Islands, supplied to Department of Emergency Management staff at the Emergency Operations Center during the Jan. 30, 2025 storm response.
The resolution was presented by Robert Harder, logistics officer at the Department of Emergency Management, who thanked The Salvation Army for providing meals to multiple city departments working “throughout the night and throughout the day” during the storm response. Chair Okimono recommended the resolution be reported out for adoption; no objections were recorded during the committee’s discussion and the committee ordered it so.
The donation covers meals provided to city staff deployed to the Emergency Operations Center during the Jan. 30 event; the written resolution states the donor and the total value but does not list per-meal breakdowns. No public testimony was offered for this item either in person or remotely. The committee’s action was a recommendation to report the resolution out for adoption; the full Council will consider formal adoption at a later meeting.
