Memo to Brian DeLima, HSPWC Chairman Page 2 March 7, 1996 * The Administration will propose an ordinance for assessment or mitigation of impacts caused by new developments and major, subdivisions, and the establishment of enterprise zones. '��n�,.}r"�olR`�i There has been no action taken on this item. Solid waste impact fees need to be addressed and defined as part of a larger picture which would include roads, wastewater, parks, police, fire, etc. Once of the issues which needs to be resolved is the ability of the County to establish land use designations so that an impact fee can be properly established based on anticipated densities. * The Administration will provide a two-year financial plan for the Solid Waste Division along with a projection for the following four fiscal years. "by d-I}P^l t` qq" Until the final analysis is completed and timing established regarding the construction and operation of a major materials recovery facility on our island in conjunction with closing the Hilo Landfill, it would be premature to provide Council with a long-range financial plan. * The Administration will submit a proposal for increased fines for littering and illegal disposal of solid waste and establishment of a bounty program. The Department has initiated a contract for the removal of abandonned vehicles which includes the preparation of a draft plan for a bounty program. The draft plan should identify the mechanism and set up a procedure as well as establish minimum staffing and resource requirements. We currently do not have the available manpower to administer a bounty program. If one is established, we will be requesting additional funding and positions from Council. We feel that any proposal to increase fines for littering should be Council initiated as it will also entail additional resources in order to enforce such fines. It may also require legislation to insure that the fines and forfeitures be deposited in a special fund which will pay the costs of operating the program. * Initiate update of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. I.x 0_,-CL_l4`15 The Solid Waste Division is planning to procure consultant services to review and update the plan, if funding is available. The County has established a citizen's advisory landfill siting committee which may be the first step towards reviewing the County's long-term goals.
