Honorable Stacy K. Higa <br /> Page 4 <br /> May 5, 2005 <br /> Charges for Services. The estimated charges for services has been increased by <br /> $223,586 for Department of Environmental Management administrative charges. <br /> Sale of Real Property. $1,000,000 has been added for anticipated revenues from the <br /> sale of County lands. <br /> Fund Balance Carryover. The fund balance carryover has been increased by <br /> $2,686,000, reflecting our updated carryover projection. <br /> SUMMARY <br /> I believe that this budget will enable us to work toward achieving our goals and priorities <br /> in an orderly and responsible manner. Major funding is included to: <br /> • Reduce the County's exposure to risk by establishing a risk management program; <br /> • Put money aside to pay for judgments against the County; <br /> • Put money aside in case of a disaster; <br /> • Purchase land to enhance public access to recreational areas; <br /> • Repair and maintain County facilities; <br /> • Develop an island-wide community development planning program; <br /> • Speed up the review of building and other permits; <br /> • Carry out wastewater and solid waste mandates; <br /> • Address concerns in public safety; <br /> • Reduce coqui frog infestation; and <br /> • Improve services to growing communities. <br /> My staff and I welcome the opportunity to discuss this budget in further detail with you <br /> and to respond to any concerns that you may have. Thank you very much. <br /> Alo a, <br /> any Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> <br /> Attachments <br /> <br />
