REAL PROPERTY [This item was deferred.]
Councilmember Rapozo moved to approve Bill No. 2440, seconded by
Ms. Yukimura.
Chair Bynum: Discussion?
Ms. Yukimura: Yes. I may have an amendment and if there
is not a timeline, I would like to defer it one (1) more time. If there is a timeline
then I will try to prepare it for the Council Meeting.
Chair Bynum: I do not know that there is a sense of
urgency on the Bill. I was considering amendments as well and in consulting with
staff, reading the purpose of the Bill which is to primarily to move dates and
secondarily to put in a couple of provisions that were inadvertently left out and so it
kind of opens it up. But the intention of this Bill was housekeeping, so that is just
my thoughts on the matter.
FPP COMMITTEE MEETING 2 AUGUST 15, 2012
Ms. Nakamura: Can I ask Councilmember Yukimura what
type of amendments you are contemplating?
Ms. Yukimura: I have not really begun to work on it and it
may or may not fit but I am looking at the Ag use section.
Chair Bynum: The Ag dedication section? Because that is
one (1) of the... where there are textual changes.
Ms. Yukimura: Yes.
Mr. Furfaro: Mr. Bynum, I suggest you query your
members if they want to defer for two (2) weeks.
Chair Bynum: Anyone objecting to a deferral? My policy
usually has been to honor that request if... unless there is a reason not to. I am
okay personally with the deferral.
Ms. Nakamura: As the author of this Bill, I do not believe
this is time sensitive. I just wanted everyone to know that the main purpose of the
Bill was to make sure that our certified Real Property Tax Assessment comes with
the budget and after we receive the budget. To make it a little more consistent and
more logical.
Ms. Yukimura: And useful.
Ms. Nakamura: When the Real Property Tax Division has
reviewed this and they have no problems with it and in fact they found some other
housekeeping measures they wanted to fix. I have no problem with the deferral for
two (2) weeks.
Upon motion duly made by Councilmember Yukimura, seconded by
Councilmember Kuali`i, and unanimously carried, Bill No. 2440 was deferred.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:38 p.m.
