Form B-52 <br /> <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WOfiKS DATE: December 12, 2006 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Galen Kuba PHONE: x8422 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Increase appropriation amount for Land Acquisition for Public Works Facilities for 06-07FY from $100,000 to <br /> $1,000,000. <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> In 1978, the County of Hawaii had obtained a license from the Richardson Trust, the owners of the property <br /> at that time, for a fee of $500/year or 10% of their property taxes to create a temporary ponding site (across <br /> the Hilo Police Station) for runoff generated by the State Mohouli Housing Project. The Department of Public <br /> Works intended to divert theses flows to Alenaio Stream via a new underground drainage system as part of <br /> the Kukuau Street improvement project. However, this project was abandoned during the mid-80s. Current <br /> property owners have not been able to utilize there property due to the pond created by the County/State of <br /> Hawaii and would like to be properly compensated for their loss. An economic analysis indicates that it <br /> would be more cost effective to properly acquire the properties to maintain the ponding area rather than to <br /> install a new drainage system. Additional funds are needed to acquire the properties as requested by the <br /> land owners. <br /> SIGNED: ~a~ DATE: 1>~/u~~ 6 <br /> /L department Head <br /> • <br /> <br />
