March 20, 2022, HSBC Meeting Agenda Page ( 17 w co g CM Waters: Proposing that each county pay their own NACo dues, in a sense the other islands have been subsidizing HNL. It would be fair for HNL to pay more, one of the ideas being proposed to support the budget. CM King: to clarify we are not saving money, in addition to our dues, we would pay the NACo dues. CM Waters: Yes, HSAC dues all increase to 15K, then the NACo dues would be less for each county. HNL would pick up the $19K from the $27K. CM Kimball: Our NACo budget was $27K, so now it will be coming directly from each county. In addition to that we are going to pay another $5K in dues plus we are paying the NACo dues. I think that is acceptable and reasonable from Hawaii county. In total Mauicounty would be paying $8K more. CM Chock: Goal is a balanced and sustainable budget, yes everything is an increase. Question is what is fair to move forward. To put it into context the annual conference generated anywhere between 60-100K, so the question of where the funding was coming from was never an issue. The goal here is to increase the revenues to the actual and decrease some of the expenses. In addition we are looking for what is reasonable for each person. CM King.I now have to go back to the council to ask for additional money. EA: Time frame: we have until April, we will work on the budget, share it with you all and then it comes back to be approved by HSAC, then gets approved by each county. CM Waters: If we went back to paying $10K then what is the bottom line. Deficit would be $174I. $174K divided by 4 = $43,500 each from each county. That is another alternative. We need to increase revenues and decrease expenses. CM Kimball. Regarding the conference, if everyone can get out there and bring in sponsors we can increase our revenues.
