DHHL asks commission to correct FY26 land‑development budget entries tied to Act 279
Summary
Staff told the commission an FY26 land‑development budget contained numerical entry errors affecting Act 279 allocations and recommended an amendment to correct the records; commissioners asked clarifying questions about a Hanapepe line item and then approved the amendment.
DHHL staff presented item E‑6 at the Nov. 17 meeting, recommending the commission approve amendments to the fiscal year 2026 land‑development budget to correct erroneous entries tied to Act 279 fund allocations.
Staff said the corrections stemmed from earlier restructuring (cited as February 2024) and input errors and that the amendment would not impact the 28 projects funded under Act 279. The presentation noted that Waihu MOCA acquisition and development funds were already encumbered and that a Hanapepe residential‑lots line should reflect $17.8 million rather than an erroneously large figure shown in the submittal.
Commissioner Ornelas asked for confirmation that the discrepancy was a data entry error; staff confirmed. After brief questions and a motion, the commission approved the budget amendment by voice vote.
The record in the transcript does not include a full line‑item listing; staff asked the commission to "acknowledge" and approve the corrected allocations to ensure accurate accounting going forward.
