Connie Kiriu, Legislative Auditor <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> February 12, 1998 <br /> to meet the increasing needs of our community. Department <br /> Heads are better prepazed to respond to specific questions of this <br /> nature. <br /> Question B.2.: As a general policy, this Administration consistently attempts to <br /> leverage County funds in terms of qualifying and gaining access <br /> to available "matching funds" from either State or Federal <br /> funding programs. Similarly, other potential funding tools such <br /> as Improvement Districts or Special Revenue Bonds aze also <br /> explored for applicability. Department Heads are better prepazed <br /> to explain what other specific funding measures were considered. <br /> Question B.3.: The most obvious benefit will be that our Big Island community <br /> will gain much needed infrastructure improvements to enhance <br /> our quality of life and improve the county's ability to provide <br /> services. The other very important aspect to consider is the <br /> economic stimulation created in terms of new construction. <br /> <br /> Attached is a current list of projects that the Bond Authorization is to fund. <br /> <br /> It is our hope that this information will be helpful in your deliberations regarding the proposed <br /> <br /> Bond Authorization. We are ready to work with you to improve our community. <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> <br /> RK:pak <br /> wpwin60\pat\bond <br /> <br /> Attachments <br /> <br /> cc: Mayor Stephen K.
