What This Committee Does
The Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee (FY 2024 session) reviewed Maui County's proposed Fiscal Year 2024 budget, tax rate ordinances, and supplemental appropriations. It held department briefings and considered amendments to the county's spending plan in the aftermath of the 2023 Lahaina wildfire.
Why You Should Care
The FY 2024 budget cycle was shaped by wildfire recovery needs and competing demands for limited county resources. Public testimony during this period influenced how recovery funds were allocated and which services were prioritized during an unprecedented crisis.
