Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section gives the County the final say on whether to accept a sponsorship and lets certain officials negotiate agreements worth at least $20,000. Each agreement must state if it is exclusive or not, and must be approved by the council and signed by the mayor. The County can end a sponsorship at any time if it decides it is no longer in the County's best interest.
