<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Form B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> <br /> DEPARTMENT: Public Works DATE: 1/10/08 <br /> <br /> <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Jiro Sumada PHONE: 961-8324 <br /> <br /> <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> <br /> A resolution proposing the County of Hawai'i special fuel tax program be indefinite. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> <br /> <br /> The County's current special fuel tax program was set in place in 1988 (Resolution <br /> 397-88) for a period of ten years, and subsequently extended for another ten years <br /> (Resolution 192-97) is now subject to sunset June 30, 2008. The three and eight- <br /> tenths cents per gallon has remained unchanged and will continue to be used in <br /> accordance with highway improvement projects as appropriated by the Department of <br /> Public Works. After considering the various and numerous highway needs and <br /> improvements to be made within the county, we believe that the county fuel tax should <br /> be set infinitely, unless otherwise amended by another resolution. <br /> <br /> Pursuant to HRS 243-5, Council shall conduct a public hearing and public notice of the <br /> hearing shall be given in the county at least twice within a period of thirty days <br /> immediately preceding the date of hearing. We request to waive Finance Committee, <br /> given the time limitation that this proposal be in effect July 1, 2008. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> SIGNED:` DATE: i !o 08 <br /> Department Head <br />
