Hawaii County Council Page 3 May 5, 2004 appropriation to partially fund Reed's Bay improvements ($250,000 federal portion) and to provide additional transit facilities (buses and park/ride areas) ($2,400,000 federal portion). Federal CDBG funding, which is appropriated separately, is anticipated to supplement capital appropriations for ADA Facilities Improvements for park projects ($1M). Table 5 lists the proposed funding source for each project. Pending vs. New Projects Of the 60 Subpart A and B projects in the Capital Budget, 6 are pending projects that require reappropriation. There are several projects that will lapse since they were completed, completed with other funding, rebudgeted to operations, or reprioritized (i.e., either dropped or will be resubmitted for appropriation at a future date) (see Table 6). Any lapsing project that requires an appropriation that differs from the unencumbered balance is considered a new project rather than a reappropriation. The net increase of this year's projects is approximately $85M (total less reappropriated amount). Geographic Distribution of Projects As a result of the Subpart B projects, Council Districts 7 and 8 that encompass North Kona have the greatest portion of the Capital Budget at $38.7M (44% of the total budget). District 9 ranks next at $11.8M, followed by District 4 at $8.3M, District 2 at $5.35, District 6 at $4.97M, District 5 at $3.6M, District 1 at $1.2M, and District 3 at $0.5M (see Table 7 and Figure 2). Approximately $13.51M are projects that have locations throughout the island and would have varying benefits on each Council District. Impact on Operational Budget Generally, new facilities have the greatest impact on the operational budget. These facilities may increase the operational budget by adding new staff, incurring new utility/maintenance expenses, and/or require new equipment or furnishings (i.e., Equipment Maintenance Facility (DEM), Ocean View Transfer Station (DEM), Regional Sort Station (DEM), Kona Scrap Metal Salvage Facility (DEM), Kailua- Kona Senior Center (P&R), and Naalehu Fire Station (FIRE)). However, it is possible that these new facilities could result in net savings by consolidating operations that were previously scattered (i.e., West Hawaii County Building). The new Puna Police Station and Honokaa Fire Station will replace existing facilities and therefore not require additional staff.
