Higa, Chairperson and <br /> Members of the Hawaii County Council <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Re: Operating Budget <br /> Presently, the Department of Public Works is in the process of updating and revising Chapter 10 (Erosion <br /> and Sedimentation Control) of the Hawaii County Code. This process, however, does not update the <br /> existing County of Hawaii Erosion and Sedimentation Control Standards and Guidelines, adopted in <br /> December 1975 and that is referenced by Chapter 10, Section 10-26 of the Hawaii County Code. <br /> To address this oversight, the Department of Public Works had submitted a grant application to the State <br /> of Hawaii Department of Health and has received $44,000 to update and/or revise the County of Hawaii <br /> Erosion and Sedimentation Control Standards and Guidelines. The funding will be used to: a) review the <br /> existing Standards and Guidelines; b) compare and evaluate the standards and guidelines from other <br /> Counties in the State of Hawaii and/or selected municipalities on the mainland; c) prepare an updated <br /> report including application of Best Management Practices to different types of projects and settings, and <br /> d) incorporate applicable comments by participating committees, agencies into the draft Revised County's <br /> Standards and Guidelines. <br /> Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into a contract for goods and services with the <br /> State of 1lawai'i Department of Health. <br /> Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating the $44,000 to <br /> the Erosion and Sedimentation Control account. <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Public Works. <br /> f <br /> William Takaba <br /> Director of Finance <br /> APPROVED: <br /> <br /> C~~ <br /> Harry Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> Enc.
