HRS §54-18
Water board contracts and property sales
This section lets the water board buy things and hire work if it has the money, and sell or give away old property it no longer needs. Before selling, it must offer the property to the county council first. The board chair must sign all contracts and transfer documents, and sale money goes to the county treasurer for the board.
