FY 2006-07 OPERATING BUDGET & PROGRAM REVIEW PAGE 3 If it appears that the Hawaii Police Department stands apart and alone on this issue (and it must sometimes appeaz to be so), then we will never have the support of the public that is essential to any enforcement program. 6. Police Administration Division OCE, Mileage and Auto Allowance expense (5203.02.111) increased by $342,588 to $2,967,600. What is the reason for this increase? 1) During last budget sessions, Council removed funding for 31 Group I positions and six (6) Group II positions (totaling $256,452), but in FY07 the Department requested and County Administration returned the funding. 31 positions x $587/month x 12 months = $218,364 6 positions x $529/month x 12 months = $38,088 2) SHOPO Bargaining Unit calls for an increase in FY07's monthly caz allowance amounts totaling $58,800. (282 + 31) positions x ($599-$587) x 12 months = $45,072 (98 + 6) positions x ($540-$529) x 12 months = $13,728 3) Captain position missed last FY = $540 x 12 months = $6,480 4) New Sergeant position for Dispatch granted last FY but no car allowance budgeted = $540 x 12 months = $6,480 7. What does your Department consider the most pressing issue facing the County? Aside from the issues involving manpower shortages, our most pressing issues involve the maintenance of our current facilities and construction of new facilities to meet the public's demand for police services. 8. Explain Cell Block Security expense (5207.02/$362,085 & 5112.02/$204,000)? 1) Account in budget is 5212.02 not 5112.02. 2) Guards for both the Kona and Hilo Cellblocks aze contracted from a private security company. Each day at a minimum, Hilo uses 2 guards per shift and has 3 shifts per day. Each day at a minimum, Kona uses 1 guard per shift and 3 shifts per day. 9. Explain Police Fleet Transition expense of $1,000,000 (5215.17)? The money is set aside in order to appropriately fund the County Administration's recommendation to the County Council. This recommendation will take into account the Fleet Transition committee report, meetings and eventual proposal of the State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers, along with the management of the Police Department and other County Agencies, such as the Department of Finance.
