This legislation is important for Counties to be able to access funding for Capital <br /> Improvement Projects. A Special Fund should be created by the Hawaii State Legislature. <br /> The current process of requesting funds from the State Revolving Fund is inadequate to deal with the <br /> amount of unfunded mandates the Counties have been and will continue to inherit from the State. This <br /> fund will assist Counties in securing funds for projects, receive fends for shortfalls and receive funds for <br /> emergency projects. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> / ~ <br /> ve~®/ / YN <br /> BJ/bl/bVl-/ <br /> Comm: No. o <br /> Ref.
