COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br /> HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE DIVISION <br /> 630 E IANIKAUTA ST <br /> HILO, HAWAII 98720 <br /> PH (808) 961-8349 FAX. (808) 961-8633 <br /> March 27, 2001 <br /> TO: Dennis Lee, Director <br /> FROM: Stanley Nakasone, Highway Maintenance Superintendent <br /> SUBJECT: Budget - 2001 -2002 <br /> <br /> We were instructed not to increase our operating budget for this fiscal year. Our <br /> Highways Division has rrlaintained status quo for several years now, as far as <br /> Other Current Expenses (OCE) is concerned. Salary and Wages have increased <br /> accordingly with ihQ pay increase. <br /> Each district did not increase the OCE budget amount. Each district looked at <br /> <br /> their budget very carefully and anticipated work programs. We then looked at our <br /> <br /> fuel tax progrem and assistance needed by each district. <br /> The one area in sevecal districts that shows significant reduction of funds is the <br /> refuse disposal (object code 121). We did request for a new mulching <br /> equipment. H this equipment is available, we plan to do more mulching. The <br /> <br /> other area that shows increase is rental (object code 111). If our heavy <br /> equipment such as the grader or loadedbackhoe is down, we plan to rent to <br /> continue our work. <br /> <br /> Although there is no increase in our budget and cost of fuel, parts, etc. has <br /> increased, we are planning to maintain the present service to the public. We are <br /> doing well, but we still can improve in many areas. There certainly are challenges <br /> ahead, and we are hoping to meet them by preparing well in all we do. We will <br /> <br /> fa11 short fn arose, and we need to accept that also. <br /> <br /> Attached is each distnct budget at a glance <br /> <br />
