I’m back in the committee meeting room at Honolulu Hale, where the Budget Committee has started what promises another long day of departmental reviews.

This morning’s agenda, which was scheduled to start at 9 a.m., includes the Honolulu Fire Department; Human Resources; Information Technology; and Parks and Recreation. DIT’s Gordon Bruce and Forest Frizzell are taking questions about security right now.

This afternoon, the Police Department and Planning and Permitting will be here.

Check out the week’s full itinerary.
