BREAKDOWN YOUR DEPARTMENT BUDGET BY DIVISION (IF <br /> APPROPRIATE) AND FUNDING SOURCE (FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, <br /> OTHER).

IF FORM #B-202 IS NOT AVAILABLE, PROVIDE <br /> JUSTIFICATION FOR EACH MAJOR EQUIPMENT REQUEST. <br /> None. All equipment requested under $10,000. <br /> 6. LIST MAJOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CONTRACTS (>$25,000) <br /> BUDGETED FOR IN FY98 BY DIVISION (IF APPROPRIATE) AND THE <br /> RATIONALE FOR EACH MAJOR CONTRACT. <br /> We have no "professional service" contracts as identified <br /> by the procurement law; however, our film coordinator is <br /> a consultant, as an independent contractor. The amount <br /> budgeted for FY98 film coordinator program is $50,000 <br /> County funds with an equal match from the state. <br /> Rationale: The film industry is a major contributor to <br /> the Big Island economy. In 1994, WATERWORLD alone <br /> contributed $32 million to the economy. On an average <br /> basis, this industry contributes $4.5 to $5.0 million a <br /> year. Most successful film locations around the world <br /> have a film office where the production can seek <br /> assistance. The County of Hawaii does not have the <br /> resources to have a full-fledged film office, therefore, <br /> hiring a qualified independent contractor to handle this <br /> function is the most cost effective way to fulfill our <br /> goal. <br /> <br />
