28965 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> ADMINISTRATION/BUDGET <br /> 1997-98 <br /> <br /> A. PROGRAM <br /> 1. Identify new goals and objectives reflected in <br /> your FY98 budget and the rationale and authority <br /> for implementation. <br /> The goals of the administration/budget remain the <br /> same. Being a staff agency, the goals are of a <br /> continuing nature. Two new objectives have been <br /> added: establishment of a property management <br /> program and the establishment of regular training <br /> sessions for finance related issues. <br /> A property management program is necessary, <br /> because of the acquisition of 4,000+ acres of land <br /> from Hamakua Sugar Company and the recent opinion <br /> that certain roads in limbo belong to the County. <br /> Training sessions have been instituted to provide <br /> a media to train new employees and to refresh <br /> veteran employees to various financial issues. <br /> Through training sessions, we hope to educate as <br /> many of our employees to common problems which <br /> should minimize redundant questions. <br /> 2. Identify goals and objectives that are to be <br /> discontinued in FY98 and the rationale for <br /> termination. <br /> Previous year's objectives being eliminated are: <br /> development and implementation of a meaningful <br /> capital budget and program and establishment of <br /> regular procurement sessions to insure compliance <br /> with the State procurement laws. <br /> The objective relating to the capital budget and <br /> program is being removed from the Finance <br /> objectives because the Planning Department has <br /> begun to take on this assignment. Section <br /> 5-4.2(d) of the Hawaii County Charter charges the <br /> Planning Director with the responsibility to <br /> review the lists of proposed capital improvements <br /> contemplated by agencies and executive agencies of <br /> the County and to recommend their order of <br /> priority. <br /> <br />
