REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> DATE: September 6, 2006 Re: Comm. No. 1041/Res. No. 442-06 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> TIME: 10:35 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 442-06, reports as follows: <br /> Resolution No. 442-06, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication <br /> No. 1041, dated August 22, 2006, creates a Civil Engineer IV position for the Department of <br /> Public Works. <br /> This position is essential to achieve the departmental goal of providing improvements to County <br /> roads, flood control and public service facilities to support the public's transportation and safety <br /> needs in a timely manner. The purpose of this position is to increase the Department of Public <br /> Works' ability to deliver Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects and design services for its <br /> Highway Maintenance, Traffic, and Building Divisions since there is an anticipated steady <br /> source of CIP funding combined with Fuel Tax revenues to back future proposed projects. It's <br /> their goal to double the number of projects they can contract out each year for the next 10 years <br /> or until they can catch up with the County's deteriorating and inadequate infrastructure. <br /> Funds will be made available in the Department of Public Works Engineering Division's Regular <br /> Salazies and Wages account. <br /> Pursuant to Article V, Section 5-1.3(c), Hawaii County Charter, the Mayor has the power to <br /> "Create positions...for which appropriations have been made by the Council." <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 442-06 <br /> and recommends its adoption. <br /> smc <br /> noes noes n&e ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> • ARAKAKI X <br /> HtcA x COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> HOLSCHUH X i <br /> IKEDA X V <br /> ISBELL X <br /> .?ACOSSON x VIRG IA ISBELL, CHAIR <br /> P~LAGO X FC REPORT NO. 332 <br /> SAFARIK X ADOPTED: SEP T O ?OUB <br /> <br />
