Higa, Chairman, <br /> and Members of the Hawaii County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> Hilo, Flawai'i 96720 <br /> Dear Chairman Higa and Members of the County Council: <br /> SUBJEC"f: SOLID WASTE FUND FUND BALANCE <br /> Pursuant to Section 10-8 of the Hawaii County Charter relating to supplemental appropriations. <br /> I am taking this means to certify that there is a balance of $2,673,496.12 in the Solid Waste Fund <br /> fund balance as of June 30, 2005. As shown below, we are proposing the appropriation of <br /> $1,200,000 of the fund balance to re-appropriate funds back to the Waikoloa Village Curbside <br /> Study and to supplement the Repairs to Facilities, Fuels and Lubricants, and Building and <br /> Construction Materials accounts. <br /> Available Solid Waste Fund fund balance at FY end 06/30/05: $ 2,673,496.12 <br /> Less: Apyropricuions: 1,200,000.00 <br /> Remaining Fund Balance: $ 1,473,496.12 <br /> We are re-appropriating the funding for the Waikoloa Village Curbside Study (in the Recycling <br /> Program -County OCE account) which was provided in the latter par[ of FY04-05 but had <br /> lapsed. The project is now ready to begin with valuable input from the Waikoloa Community, to <br /> determine if curbside service is practical, and feasible, in lieu of another transfer station. <br /> We also find it necessary to supplement some of the Landfill - OCE accounts. In order to <br /> improve public safety at the Hilo Transfer and Recycling Facility, a total of $550.000 is being <br /> appropriated to the Repairs to Facilities account for road and paving improvements. <br /> Additionalh~. the Fuels and Lubricants account needs $100.000 to cover Che rising fuels costs as <br /> these arc projected to be 20 percent higher than fiscal year 2004-05. And, to extend the useful <br /> life of the existing landfill and to avoid hauling to West Hawaii, $SOQ,000 in supplemental <br /> funding for the Fuilding and Construction Materials account is needed for the construction of the <br /> sliver fill at the South Hilo Sanitary Landfill. <br /> The remaining fund balance of $1,473,496 will be used to reduce the General Fund's subsidy to <br /> the Solid Waste Fund in die proposed FY2006-07 operating budget. <br /> C~~~> <br /> Comm.
