The Honorable Chairman James Y. Arakaki <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 3 <br /> May 4, 2001 <br /> us to become more aware of the specific needs of respective districts and the <br /> concerns of Hawai'i's people. <br /> Although funding constraints did not allow us to include every request in this <br /> amended budget, we believe that the items funded are consistent with my overall <br /> goal of improving government operations, and extending vital programs to more <br /> of our residents. Our budget adds police and ire positions; it funds a Violence <br /> <br /> Against Children program; it provides matching funds for hazard mitigation <br /> <br /> planning and fire equipment grants; it funds a compliance officer to carry out <br /> affirmative action and Americans with Disability Act requirements; it improves <br /> emergency services in isolated and growing communities; it expands the <br /> County's recycling program--sand it begins to prepare us for a better future. <br /> My staff and I look forward to further discussions with you as we continue our <br /> work in making county services more efficient, equitable, and accessible to <br /> everyone. Thank you very much. <br /> Aloha, <br /> I~_ ~ <br /> Harry Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> Attachments <br /> <br />
