With regard to revenues from fines and forfeitures being deposited into the general fund of the <br /> County, I recommend removing any and all references to disposition of fines and forfeitures. <br /> Whereas, the following sections would be stricken in their entirety: <br /> <br /> [ forfeitures. <br /> All fines and f rf :t..Yes eelleeted upon ietio., o nthe f rf :t...e Af 1`^:1 ..f.,.... <br /> per-son ehafged -AitAh a vielation of any seefien er provisien of this aftiele shall be paid into the <br /> !`.......ty treasury end deposited in the general Raid of the County.] <br /> [ <br /> A 11 f"^e^ ^«A f -feitur..

Should the State of Hawaii <br /> choose to have these funds remain with the County of Hawaii at any point in the future, <br /> the chapter on animal control can then be rectified to reflect such a shift. With that in <br /> mind, there need be no mention whatsoever of where fines and forfeitures are <br /> deposited. <br /> <br /> 3. With regard to dog license fees being routed to a spay/neuter fund, I have checked with Finance <br /> Director Bill Takaba and confirmed that there is currently no such fund. Therefore, if the will of <br /> the Council is to bolster the spay/neuter coupon system via dog license revenue, I propose the <br /> following alteration: <br /> <br /> Section 4-17. Disposition of fee. <br /> All moneys received by the director of finance under this article shall be [deposited- into <br /> ] used to support the Spay/Neuter Community Assistance Program. <br /> <br /> Comment: <br /> This language should provide ample leeway to assure that these monies are utilized to <br /> support the Spay/Neuter Community Assistance Program. <br /> <br /> <br /> 4. With regard to animal defecation concerns, I propose the following alteration to Bill 258, Draft 3: <br /> <br /> <br /> Article 7. General [Animal ] Provisions <br /> <br /> Section 4-43. Cruelty to animals, including dogs and cats. <br />
