Committee sends multiple mayoral nominations and postal-inspection agreement to full council
Summary
The committee forwarded five mayoral nominations (Banyan Drive redevelopment, Leeward Planning, Board of Ethics, Cost of Government Commission, Water Board) with favorable recommendations and advanced a resolution to partner with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to the full council.
The committee considered several mayoral nominations and a public-safety resolution and moved them forward to the full council with favorable recommendations.
Michael Alameda, executive assistant to the mayor, introduced nominees including George Applegate for the Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency (five-year term), Jacob Andrews for the Leeward Planning Commission (term to 12/31/2030), Bobby Jean Akane Leite Todd for the Board of Ethics (term to 12/31/2030), Jim Monk for a seat on a cost-of-government commission (nomination was pushed to a future meeting so the nominee could appear in person), and Nicholas Resnick for the Water Board (term to 12/31/2030). Each nominee spoke briefly or was introduced, council members praised their experience and expressed support, and the committee closed files and forwarded nominations to the full council by voice vote (most recorded 9 ayes).
The committee also considered Resolution 556-26 authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to designate certain Hawaii Police Department officers as postal inspector task force officers. Captain Boynton briefed the committee on public-safety benefits (investigating mail-related crime, drugs, firearms and human trafficking) and described reimbursement provisions for vehicle and overtime costs; the committee voted to forward the resolution with a favorable recommendation.
