What is the status of the Derelict Vehicle Amnesty Pilot Program to remove up to two <br /> vehicles on private property, and how much has it cost the County (5641.02.115/$200,000 <br /> and 5641.02.341 Towing/$1OQ000)? <br /> Since the start of the Derelict Vehicle Amnesty Pilot Program on July 2, 2005, 230 <br /> applications have been requested; 94 applications have been received with requests to <br /> remove 138 derelict vehicles. Of these requests, 14 vehicles have been removed from <br /> West Hawaii and 28 vehicles have been removed from East Hawaii for a total of 42 <br /> vehicles removed. This has cost the County approximately $5,500 in towing costs and <br /> $17,000 in scrap metal processing costs to date. A major impediment to the Amnesty <br /> Program has been a lack of staff. We hope to remedy this in FY 06-07. <br /> <br /> 23. Why is there a need for an additional Dere]ict/Abandon Veh Coordinator?

The <br /> position is responsible for inspecting the vehicles and coordinating the removal of the <br /> derelict/ abandoned vehicles with the tow companies. In order to provide services to <br /> West Hawai i, the existing employee is spending four hours of a day in travel. The new <br /> position will provide services to West Hawai i, reducing travel time, increasing the <br /> number of hours interfacing with the residents, the police and tow company in the <br /> region. the new vehicle will be used by the Derelict/ Abandoned Vehicle Coordinator <br /> in Kona to perform the necessary inspection of vehicles and to perform outreach to the <br /> residents. This will increase the efficiency of the program and enable the program <br /> staff to remove more vehicles in a shorter period of time. <br /> <br /> 24.
