<br /> . <br /> Council Chairman and Committee Members <br /> January 7, 1998 <br /> Page 2 <br /> As far as our current list of tentative projects, we offer <br /> you the following: <br /> • East Hawaii Landfill Closure, Hilo Transfer Station <br /> $12 million. <br /> This project is proceeding and involves two <br /> projects. In closing the landfill, we will need to <br /> develop a means by which to transfer the East <br /> Hawaii trash to the Puuanahulu landfill. <br /> • Lako Street Connector <br /> This project is much needed in providing North Kona <br /> with another mauka/makai connector. Project cost <br /> is still undetermined. <br /> • Kealakehe Effluent Disposal - $4,000,000 <br /> The County needs to proceed with the development of <br /> a disposal system for our effluent at the Kealakehe <br /> wastewater treatment facility. <br /> • ADA Compliance <br /> The County is currently in litigation in federal <br /> court and compliance cost is unknown. <br /> • Puainako Street Extension County Share - $7,000,000 <br /> This project is on the Statewide Transportation <br /> Improvement Program at an estimated total cost of <br /> $35 million. Our share amounts to a 20$ match. <br /> This project should provide the residents in Hilo <br /> with an alternate route from Kaumana. It should <br /> also open up development opportunities which should <br /> then expand our tax base. <br /> • Alii Hiqhway County Share - $6,000,000 <br /> This project, like Puainako Extension, will provide <br /> the local community with an alternate route in <br /> providing much needed relief to traffic congestion <br /> and serves as the primary evacuation/emergency <br /> route for the coastal area. This project is also <br /> envisioned to open opportunities for future land <br /> development which will enhance the growth to our <br /> taa base. We are also hoping that this project <br /> will be done with a 20-80 county/federal match. <br /> <br />
