Dear Chairman Hoffmann and Council Members: 10
As required by the Hawaii County Charter, submitted with this message is the proposed
operating budget for the County of Hawaii for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. This
balanced budget includes estimated revenues and appropriations of $398,258,830 and
includes the operations of eleven of the County's special funds as well as the general
fund.
Preparation of the budget involves estimating costs such as debt service, retirement and
medical insurance requirements, and obtaining estimated expenditures from departments.
Departments were once again instructed to submit status quo spending plans that included
inflationary increases. Additional needs were submitted in the form of supplemental
budget requests. Funding decisions for these requests were based on how well they
addressed legal mandates, community needs, maintenance of public facilities and
equipment, and priorities of this administration.
Administrative priorities for this budget include the following:
• Improving and expanding programs that address environmental concerns, such as
solid waste disposal (landfills, transfer stations, recycling, vehicle disposal) and
wastewater operations.
• Upgrading and replacing critically needed equipment for public safety operations.
• Providing adequate staff to new facilities.
• Addressing the economic downturn by setting money aside for future needs.
This budget is $23,460,304, or 6.3%, more than the current year's budget. It reflects a
12.2% increase in real property tax revenues due to an increase in taxable values and no
changes in tax rates. For the purpose of this submission, properties in the newly created

Affordable Rental Housing class have been assigned the same tax rate as those in the
Homeowners class.
The real property assessed valuations used are still preliminary figures and the values
certified in April may vary from those assumed here. The final budget presented to you
in May will be based on the final numbers.
REVENUE CHANGES
The major changes in projected revenues are as follows:
Real Property Tax. As stated above, real property tax revenues are expected to increase
by 12.2%, or $25.8 million, due to an increase in taxable values. Of the 12.2% increase,
3.3%, or about $7.1 million, is attributed to new construction (2,450 new dwellings, 60
new commercial structures, 443 new condominium units, and 664 new outbuildings).
Public Service Company Tax. Based on current collections, Public Service Company
taxes are expected to increase by 17.8%, to $8.3 million.
Revenue from Use of Money and Property. Interest revenues are expected to increase
by $2.7 million.
Other Revenues. Other revenues are expected to decrease slightly due to projected
drops in land sales and departmental charges (Housing Fund).
Fund Balance Carryover. Carryover savings are expected to decrease due primarily to
the $9.7 million reduction in the General Fund's projected fund balance.
EXPENDITURE CHANGES
The major changes in projected expenditures are as follows:
General Government
• Clerk/Council. The Council's contingency account has been reduced to $900,000, a
decrease of $1.8 million.
• Finance. Lease rents are being consolidated and accounted for in the Property
Management Division, which increases its budget by $2.8 million.
• Public Works. Additional expenses for the new General Services section is more
than offset by the decreases in lease rents and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM)
updates.
¦ Additional responsibilities in facilities maintenance require the department to
increase its General Services section budget by $908,601.
The Honorable Chairman Pete Hoffmann
and Members of the County Council

February 29, 2008
¦ The responsibility for lease payments will reside with the Finance Department's
Property Management Division. Thus, $1.8 million, which represents payments
for the Public Works leases, has been removed from its budget.
¦ Funding for Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) updates has been reduced to
$500,000 from the current $1.5 million. The additional $1 million provided by
the County Council last year will not be required this year.
Public Safety
• Police. In addition to salaries and wages, this budget includes cost increases for the
mobile data terminal project, and matching funds for the Public Safety Interoperable
Communications project and the marijuana grants.
• Fire. Included in the department's budget is $1.6 million to replace the rescue
helicopter.
• Animal Control. The cost of animal control services is expected to increase
substantially based on the last request for proposal (RFP).
Culture and Recreation
• Administration. $500,000 has been included as matching funds for the Veterans
Center construction project on Kawili Street.
• Park Maintenance. Increased costs include security services for Isaac Hale Beach
Park and a crew for the Kohanaiki Park, starting in the last quarter of the fiscal year.
Sanitation and Waste Disposal
• Solid Waste Division.
¦ Nine positions have been added: 1 Supervisor for Kona and 8 Transfer Station
Attendants, 3 for Hilo, 3 for Kohala, 2 for Kona.
• Landfill operations expenses have increased by $1.6 million due to added
positions, contracts, and repairs.
• Expanded recycling efforts (additional recycling centers at transfer stations,
increase in green waste contracts) will increase expenses by $1.8 million.
• Wastewater Division. Cost of operations is expected to increase by $835,000.
• Vehicle Disposal. More funds are needed to fulfill Department of Health permit
requirements (East Hawaii, $300,000, West Hawaii, $300,000) and conduct an
environmental cleanup of the scrap metal facility in East Hawaii ($150,000).

Debt Service
• Debt Service. Debt service is projected to increase to accommodate a new bond
issue.
Pension and Retirement
• Employees Retirement System. The Employees Retirement System cost is expected
to increase by $4.8 million due primarily to an increase in the required contribution
rate.
Health Fund
• Health Benefits. Health costs, including post-employment benefits, are expected to
increase by $2.2 million.
Miscellaneous
• Vacation and unemployment insurance. Increases by $906,000 (to $1.1 million) to
pay for transition costs as a result of the expected changes in appointed staff.
• Transfer to Capital Projects Fund. Decreases by $7.86 million (to $3.8 million).
Funding for capital projects will be done primarily through the issuance of bonds.
• Transfer to Disaster & Emergency Fund. Decreases by $600,000 (to $1 million).
• Transfer to Budget Stabilization Fund. Appropriates $1 million (nothing budgeted
in current fiscal year).
• Transfer to Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Fund.
Increases by $526,000 (to $4.84 million).
• Sewer Fund Replacement Reserve Repairs. Increases by $600,000 (to $3.2 million).
• Provision for Compensation Adjustment. Deletes the $6.3 million. The provision
was established for the current fiscal year since compensation amounts were not
known at the time the budget was prepared. The amounts for FY 2008-09 are known
and have been included in salaries and wages.

$398,259 100.0% $23,460 6.3%
CONCLUSION
The budget being submitted is $23.46 million greater than the current year's budget. It is
aimed primarily at improving existing services and facilities, addressing legal
requirements, and preparing for a weakening economy. Although real property tax
revenues have been projected to increase by 12.2%, this kind of increase cannot be
expected in the years ahead.
Included in this budget are additional funding for the Self Insurance ($1,000,000),
Disaster and Emergency ($1,000,000), and Budget Stabilization ("Rainy Day")
($1,000,000) funds. Although past attempts at placing money into the Budget
Stabilization Fund have been largely unsuccessful, it is more important than ever to build
adequate reserves in all three funds.
The approach taken to prepare this budget was very conservative. Items that created
recurring expenditures, such as new positions or leases, were carefully scrutinized. New
positions were only approved for public safety, environmental management, and new
facilities. We believe that this budget, which is approximately 6.3% higher than the
The Honorable Chairman Pete Hoffmann
and Members of the County Council

current year's budget, provides funding for reasonable and responsible growth, while
maintaining provisions for future emergencies and needs.
Considerable thought was given to the Council's recommendations in Resolution No.
492-08, and the proposed budget includes those items that address the highest priorities
of this administration. We welcome the opportunity to review this budget in further
detail and thank you very much for your consideration.
Aloha,
f arry Kim

Program Description
The Hawaii County Office of Aging was authorized in 1966 and is an Area Agency on
Aging (AAA). As an AAA, the Office of Aging is required to prepare and submit for
funding an Area Plan on Aging. The Area Plan describes the manner in which this office
develops its service delivery system for older persons on the Big Island. Through an
approved Area Plan, the Office of Aging obtains federal and state funds through the State
Executive Office on Aging.
Funds obtained for services are contracted to various providers in the community that
have shown the ability and willingness to deliver quality programs. AAAs are not
permitted to provide services directly. Most of the funding for the Office of Aging's
administrative expenses are provided by the County of Hawaii.
The Office of Aging has a total staff of nine: an Executive on Aging, four Aging Program
Planners, an Accountant, a Computer Programmer/Analyst, an Information and
Assistance Clerk and a Clerk.
A Committee on Aging, appointed by the Mayor, advises the Office of Aging in its
planning responsibilities. The majority of its members is over the age of 60 and
represents every major district of Hawaii County.
Specific functions of the Office of Aging include:
1. To continuously assess the needs of older persons in Hawaii County and developing
programs aimed at meeting these needs;
2. To monitor, evaluate, and comment on policies, programs, hearings, and community
actions which affect older persons;
3. To represent the interests of older persons to public officials and public and private
agencies;
4. To develop and maintain a public awareness program for older persons;
5. To maintain data on the profile and needs of older persons in Hawaii County and
have this information available for other organizations and the general public;
6. To coordinate planning with other agencies and organizations to promote new or
expanded benefits and opportunities for older persons;
7. To develop and administer an Area Plan on Aging for a comprehensive and
coordinated service delivery system in Hawaii County;
8. To enter into subgrants or contracts for the provision of services outlined in the Area
Plan on Aging; and
9. To provide technical assistance, monitor, and periodically evaluate the performance
of all service providers under the Area Plan on Aging.

Program Highlights
The Hawaii County Office of Aging (HCOA) is committed to developing a system of
quality home and community-based care to meet the needs of a diverse elder population.
The following major projects and/or initiatives were carried out during the 2006 - 2007
fiscal year:
Caregiver Support
The National Family Caregiver Support Program, administered through the
Hawaii County Office of Aging, coordinated many workshops, trainings, support
groups, and a conference to provide information pertaining to caregiving resources and
services available in our community throughout the year. These outreach and training
events offer opportunities for caregivers, service providers, and members of the general
public to gain information regarding caregiving and the importance of self-care. The
Caregiver Conference - "A Carousel of Care" held at the Outrigger Keauhou Beach
Resort on July 19th attracted 150 individuals. The conference focused on Long Term
Care planning, essential self-care, and knowledge of available resources assisted
caregivers in their demanding and challenging role as a caregiver.
The Caregiver Specialist provided thirty-two (32) Caregiver Survival Skills
Workshops, public display and outreach events, support groups, and respite care days
providing essential information for caregivers. Supplying information for caregivers
through various contact points ensures that a larger audience is reached. The caregiver
database increased 38% this fiscal year. FY07 also attracted a demand for respite
services that reached 6,573 hours. The 24% increase in demand illustrates a growing
trend in Caregiver services. By assisting caregivers with in-home respite care services,
LTC placement can be avoided or prolonged, thereby reducing the cost to the client,
families, and government support systems.
Healthy Aging Project
In March 2007, the Hawaii County Office of Aging (HCOA) was awarded grant
funds from the Administration on Aging to coordinate the mobilization of public and
private partnerships at the community level to implement and sustain the delivery of
evidence-based prevention through an aging service provider organization. In
partnership with the Executive Office on Aging, Department of Health, Hawaii County
Nutrition Program, and University of Hawaii, HCOA will be offering the
EnhanceFitness Program, an evidence-based special exercise program for older adults at
two nutrition sites in July 2007. The State of Hawaii was one of 16 states selected to
receive the grant to empower older adults to take control of their health.
This exercise program is part of a statewide effort of the Healthy Aging
Partnership - Empowering Elders (HAPEE), aimed at improving the health status of older
adults. According to Department of Health data (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance

Hawaii; over 40% have high blood pressure/hypertension; over 50% are below the
recommended physical activity levels; and over 60% consume less than 5 fruits or
vegetables a day. The EnhanceFitness program (stretching, flexibility, balance, low
impact, aerobics, and strength training exercises) has been scientifically tested to work.
Home Health Care Cooperative Development Project
In 2006, as a second phase of the USDA funded grant, the feasibility study on the
development of a home-health care cooperative in Hilo was completed by a UH-Hilo
consultant for the purpose of securing financing and identifying potential funding
streams. As of this writing, the original steering committee has turned over the project to
the newly formed member-owned cooperative called Aloha Home Care Cooperative. The
cooperative consisting of six chartered members and possibly 19 more members
represent the communities of Pahoa, Kea`au, Mountain View, Hilo and Pepe`ekeo. The
cooperative is now designing their brochure, marketing materials and public relations
strategies. In August 2007, the cooperative will be visited by a staff of the Northwest
Cooperative Development Center based in Seattle, Washington to further fine-tune their
business plan. The HCOA, along with original members of the team that helped secure
the USDA funding, is confident that the newly formed cooperative will soon be a major
player in the provision of much needed eldercare services to home-bound seniors
especially those residing in rural communities.
Home Modification
Creating a safe environment allows for the frail elderly to remain in their own
homes by reducing safety hazards, falls, and hospitalization due to injuries in the home.
With the ability to provide minor renovations, modifications, and/or adaptive equipment,
the Home Modification program offers opportunities for seniors with health and mobility
problems to function more independently.
Safety deficits are identified through assessments by case management providers.
The goal of this program is to increase safety, reduce falls, and avoid injuries as well as
decrease caregiver stress. 567 in-home safety items (i.e. grab bars, transfer shower
benches, bedside commodes) were provided for 218 clients during this period which
corrected safety deficits and provided for a safer home environment.
Information & Assistance and Outreach Services
The Coordinated Services for the Elderly (CSE) Program received the contract to
provide information & assistance and outreach services to older individuals in Hawaii
County. The table below shows Coordinated Services for the Elderly program's contract
performance with a previous year comparison.

contracted units and has proven to be a reliable partner in other community collaborative
projects such as the Senior Farmer's Market Nutrition Program, Low Income Housing
Energy Assistance Program, Sage Watch/Sage Plus and others.
Community Empowerment and PubliclPrivate Partnerships
Partners in Eldercare Community Councils
The Hawaii County Office of Aging (HCOA) continued its collaborative efforts
with island communities through its Partners in Eldercare (PiE) Councils. This past year,
three community projects were funded. In response to requests from the public, the
South Hilo PiE council, in partnership with the Waiakea High School Key Club and the
East Hawaii Kiwanis Club, installed 48 Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)
units. The PERS unit is a telephone dialer that is activated by a remote "button" that can
be worn as a pendant.
The North Kona PiE council partnered with the Alzheimer's Disease Association
to provide informational packets to 500 families and individuals. The packets were
distributed at Respite Days and support group meetings.

The Hamakua PiE council partnered with the Hamakua Health Center to develop
a strategic business plan to address the establishment of an Adult Day Care Program for
the Hdmakua district. A secondary issue included establishing a work plan to develop an
Eldercare Resource Center at the North Hawaii Education and Research Center.
Senior Produce Nutrition Project
2006 marked the fourth year implementation of the ever-popular Senior Farmer's
Market Nutrition Program, commonly known on the Big Island as Senior Produce
Nutrition Project. The difference last year was that Kauai Food Bank, the original grant
recipient, did not participate in 2006 and the grant was awarded directly by the State's
Office of Community Services to the Hawaii Island Food Bank. Although the project
did not start until August 7, 2006 (one month later than previous years) the project bought
locally grown produce from island farmers and distributed a good variety of fruits and
vegetables to 1,903 qualified senior participants for thirteen weeks. The estimated value
of the produce received by each participant was roughly $149.00. All participants were
appreciative of the wide variety of produce distributed especially the addition of
Hamakua grown mushrooms. Popularity of the project remains high among seniors that
the HCOA continues to receive telephone inquiries about the project all-year-round.
Silver Bulletin
The monthly newsletter which has been published during the past seven
continuous years continues to reach over 4,000 readers annually and has been known to
the community as a trusted source of timely information that seniors could use to access
eldercare benefits that they maybe entitled to receive. Like in previous editions of the
Silver Bulletin, the stories on extra-ordinary seniors on the Big Island had become as
source of inspiration for many to enjoy productive and fulfilling lives. Despite the
continued increase in the number of readers - caregivers and home-bound seniors alike,
copies of the newsletter has somehow reached its intended recipients without any
interruption.
As in previous years, the annual special May edition continues to feature
Outstanding Older American's Month and highlights the many and invaluable
contributions of the outstanding nominees. This past year, the Silver Bulletin provided
the readers with a comprehensive coverage on two national projects that the HCOA is
engaged in: the development of an Aging and Disability Resource in Hilo and the
Healthy Aging Project which is implemented in selected nutrition sites on the Big Island.
The Silver Bulletin regularly features articles on caregiving, health screenings, cooking
nutritious food; eldercare related legislations, elder abuse and fraud prevention,
emergency/disaster response, and many other helpful topics for seniors and their
caregivers.

On October 15, 2006, Hawaii Island was awaken with a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in the
Kiholo area. The damage from the earthquake was felt islandwide with concentration of
damage in the Kohala, Kona, Waimea, and Hamakua areas. The earthquake brought to
light some areas of concern during emergencies, like the inability of radio stations to
remain on the air during power outages and communication over landlines and cellular
phones. Some of the damage from the earthquake still remains to be fixed. But this
natural disaster remains as a lesson and wake up call that the county needs to continue
planning and preparing for when disaster may occur.

LITIGATION PROGRAM
Program Description
The Office of the Corporation Counsel provides legal representation on behalf of the
County of Hawaii, its officers, representatives and employees in resolving disputes such
as lawsuits, arbitration, mediation and claims, filed against the County of Hawaii and its
officers, representatives and employees. The Office also represents the County of
Hawaii and its officers, representatives and employees in judicial and quasi-judicial
actions brought by the County of Hawaii.
Program Objectives
1. Offer training opportunities to our litigation team, and provide them effective tools to
take cases to trial.
2. Continue to make litigation client friendly. The Litigation Division will contact all
major County departments to schedule meetings to discuss ongoing cases, the scope
of liability and methods to reduce the department's exposure to unnecessary risks.
3. Responsibly monitor pending lawsuits by recommending settlement only when
quantifiable justifications exist.
Program Highlights
1. The attorneys in the Litigation Division assist employees, officials, agents and
departments of our County in resolving disputes or keeping them out of anticipated
disputes. These legal disputes may involve going through court and trial or may
involve informal discussions or methods of dispute resolution such as court-ordered
mediation or arbitration. All Division attorneys practice in state and federal courts, at
both the trial and appellate levels.
2. In order to maintain a high level of effectiveness, the attorneys and staff were sent to
specialized seminars and training sessions, and participated in training teleconferences,
covering areas of litigation relating to construction contracts (project completion,
prevailing wages, and preventing and measuring delays), personal injury (handling cases
in the Judiciary's Court Annexed Arbitration Program), employment related law (wage
and hour litigation, including the Fair Labor Standard Act), substance abuse in the
workplace, the American with Disability Act, measuring psychological and psychiatric
fitness for duty and threat, and accident prevention in the workplace, ethics, sunshine
law, proper drafting of pleadings, interviewing of sexual abuse victims, storm water
regulation, and evidentiary rules and laws relating to electronic discovery and document
storage. Two members of the litigation team attended the American Bar Association
Annual Conference held in Honolulu (the conference included topics covering litigation
practice, labor and employment law, international law, tort law and science and
technology law). Two members of the team attended a FranklinCovey® workshop
entitled "Focus: Achieving your highest priorities."

3. In all cases against and for the County, the Litigation Division has a "team oriented"
approach to discuss, develop and implement case strategies. Meetings with the attorneys,
legal clerks, investigator and legal assistant are held weekly to discuss trial strategies and
to update team members on legal issues and work tasks. The collegial atmosphere within
the office allows each member of the litigation team to discuss and analyze legal and
work issues on a daily basis with anyone within the office, including members of the
Counseling and Drafting Division, supervisory heads, the Assistant Corporation Counsel
and Corporation Counsel.
4. The attorneys provide training to many of our County clients, including training for new
police recruits in civil liberties and liabilities, and ongoing in-service training for all
County departments. Litigators have also presented classes/workshops in: (1)
employment law (effective litigation of discrimination, harassment and retaliation case)
and highway litigation at the Fourth Annual Statewide Municipal Attorneys Training
Conference; (2) Parks and Recreation Summer Fun Training; (3) Animal Control
Liability Training; and (4) Family Medical Leave Act Training for the Police
Commanders. The litigators have also assisted the attorneys in the Counseling and
Drafting Division in training, including training on ethics. Litigators also consult with
attorneys from the Counseling and Drafting Division on any pending matter, including
planning issues. Litigators have continuous dialogue with County agents, employees,
officials, department heads, the Mayor (and his staff) and County Council Members (and
their staff) involved in any claim (including workers' compensation), arbitration
(grievances, and interest arbitration concerning wages and non-cost items for collective
bargaining agreements) and lawsuits.
5. The litigators also assisted the attorneys of the Counseling and Drafting Division in
training covering the Code of Ethics and procedural remedies for zoning code violations
(Fourth Annual Statewide Municipal Attorneys Training Conference). Litigators also
consulted with attorneys from the Counseling and Drafting Division on many pending
matters, including planning issues. In addition, members of the litigation team worked
with the County of Hawai'i's Risk Manager to assist in the development of a
comprehensive risk management plan.

6. In the last fiscal year, five significant lawsuits settled for the total sum of $594,129.77.
The potential liability exposure for these five cases was $3,554,139.84, meaning the
difference between the potential exposure and actual settlement amount was
$2,960,010.07. The litigation unit averaged approximately eigthy (80) pending major
cases a month, including union arbitration and other employment related cases. Several
of the major cases involved requests for the payment of multi-millions of dollars of our
taxpayers' money. During the last fiscal year, two very high-profile court cases were
resolved in favor of the County. Parrish v. Honorable Ronald Ibarra (federal case) and
Parrish v. State of Hawai' i (state case), involved claims of approximately $264,000,000
filed on behalf of some Hokuli`a Lot Owners due to the County being prohibited by court
order in Walter John Kelly and Protect Keopuka `Ohana v. 1250 Oceanside Partners, et
al. to issue permits allowing the owners to build homes. The case eventually resulted in a
final dismissal of all claims, with the County not having to pay any money damages.
Through the effort of the attorneys, one out-of-state federal district court dismissed a
lawsuit in favor of the County.
7. The Litigation Division also investigated and evaluated all claims for damages made
against the County, filed with the County Clerk. The Division also pursued claims on
behalf of the County against private parties and other government entities. Examples
include damages done to County property or cases where there have been overpayments
made by the County. For Fiscal Year 2006-2007, 76 such claims were investigated. Of
the total monies paid out by the County ($370,820.24), $5,272.51 was successfully
recovered.

Program Highlights
CLERK'S OFFICE ACTIVITIES
The Office of the County Council-Clerk is committed to working with the County
Council to serve the interests of the people of Hawaii Island. The Office consists of
dedicated, hard-working, highly competent people who constantly strive to help ensure
that the business of the Council is carried out both fairly and efficiently. Because the
work of the Clerk's Office is conducted primarily "behind the scenes", most people are
unaware of initiatives undertaken by the Clerk's Office to improve the services it offers
to the Council and the public.
The Clerk's Office assists the County Council by reviewing proposed legislation and
offering legal advice upon request, and also updates the County Charter and County Code
and makes Code supplements available to the public. The Clerk's Office offered its first
public education workshop that presented an overview of the Council/Committee
structure and its procedures and functions and a lesson on how to effectively navigate the
Council-Clerk's website.
The Clerk's Office conducts and facilitates in-house training sessions for Council
members and staff. The Legislative Research Branch, Committee Services Section, and
Council Services Section held training sessions for Council members and District staff on
procurement, travel, legislative drafting, and internal procedures for processing of
legislation. New Council members and District staff attended ethics training offered by
the Corporation Counsel. Council members and the public were updated on the Sunshine
Law by the State Office of Information Practices. The Clerk's Office also instituted a
"Fact Sheet" Series that details procedures, such as how bills are introduced and
amended, and summarizes pertinent laws, such as the Uniform Information Practices Act
and the Sunshine Law, for incorporation into a training manual. The Clerk's Training
Committee is developing a training schedule and training manuals for all new employees
as well as a training module for each Department position. In addition, the Clerk's Office
sponsored attendance by both civil service and appointed staff at outside training
seminars on a wide variety of subject areas, including supervisory skills, auditing, and the
seven habits of highly effective people.
Two documents guide the internal decision-making of the County Council-Clerk's
Office: the "Rules of Procedure and Organization of the Council of the County of
Hawaii" and the "Administrative Manual of the Office of the Hawaii County Council-
Clerk." Upon request of the Council Chairperson, the Clerk's Office undertook a
comprehensive review of Council Rules and submitted a number of changes that have
been adopted by the full Council. The Council-Clerk's Administrative Manual has also

undergone a thorough review, with a draft revision now being finalized by the Clerk,
Deputy Clerk and Council Chairperson for presentation to the Council for adoption.
The Council-Clerk's Office is updating its security and safety policies. A fire plan is
close to completion; fire extinguishers have been tested and replaced as needed; and
evacuation routes are conspicuously posted throughout Council-Clerk offices. First aid
and CPR training was offered to any employees who desired such training, with each
work section of the Office staffed with at least one employee certified in first aid and
CPR. Security measures are under review, with additional precautions in place to protect
physical and document security. The Legislative Auditor's Office facilitated a
presentation by the State expert on identity theft and has developed a draft Information
Security and Privacy Plan that complies with new legal mandates.
The Clerk's Office is participating in a Request-for-Proposal involving a change in our
document management system from COReS to Laserfiche. A three-member team from
the Clerk's Office is working with Data Systems and the vendor to implement the
change-over during the first quarter of 2008. The Clerk's Office is also exploring options
for real-time broadcasting of Council and Committee meetings over the internet. To
ensure compliance with the 30-day Sunshine Law requirement, the Clerk's Office has
developed a summary minutes system, while continuing to transcribe meeting
proceedings as expeditiously as possible.
The Reprographics Division (Machine Room) moved to a new location with only a one-
day break in service, and now accepts jobs via email and CDs as well as hand-delivery.
It has successfully implemented the new complicated postage rate system and is
organizing a workshop for County departments on new postage rates and how to package
items to require the least amount of postage. The Machine Room is also in the process of
purchasing a color copier to accommodate increasing requests for color copy service.
The Elections Division continues to work diligently on increasing voter registration and
turnout at the polls. Earlier this year Elections staff, with the assistance of the Legislative
Auditor's Office, drafted a survey and mailed it to registered voters who did not vote in
the 2006 elections to help determine the cause of low voter turnout on Hawaii Island and
develop a plan to increase voter participation in the 2008 elections. Satellite elections
office sites in Kona and Pahoa have been selected and will be opening soon. The
Elections Division is also working with the State Office of Elections and the other
counties on an RFP to select a statewide electronic voting system and vendor

The Legislative Auditor's Office completed a risk assessment survey of all County
departments to establish an audit plan for fiscal year 2007-2008 based upon objective
criteria. Risk assessment survey results were presented to the Council and used to
determine the first departmental audit. To date, the audit scope has been completed, and
research and data-gathering have begun.
COUNCIL ACTIVITIES
Beginning December 2006, the Council began holding an equal number of Committee
and Council meetings in East Hawaii and West Hawaii, providing a greater opportunity
for citizens of Hawaii Island to take an active role in their municipal government.
Videoconferencing is also available to and from the Hilo, Waimea, and Kona Council
Offices, with meetings videotaped for viewing on Government Access Television
Channel 52 and telecast times posted at the end of Council and Committee agenda and on
the Clerk-Council's website. Newly implemented on the Clerk-Council's website are
hyperlinks connecting the public to official copies of all communications, resolutions,
and bills noted on Council and Committee agenda.
During fiscal year 2006-07, the Council's Committees conducted 97 regular meetings, an
increase of 14% over last fiscal year. The Finance Committee also held three special
meetings on departmental and program reviews and the operating budget for next fiscal
year and one public hearing on the acquisition of Punalu`u Beach Park, Ntnole Pond, and
adjacent lands. The Council held 24 regular meetings; nine public hearings on rezoning
legislation, general plan amendments, real property tax rate schedules, and banning
alcohol at County beaches and parks; and one special meeting at the request of the Mayor
for a Civil Defense briefing on October 15, 2006 earthquake relief efforts. The Council

NUTRITION PROGRAM
Program Description
Conereeate Nutrition Services
The Older Americans Act authorized funding for local community programs to provide
nutrition services to the elderly. The congregate meals program was designed to provide
older individuals, aged 60 and older, with at least one low cost, nutritious meal, five days
a week in a congregate setting. The program includes nutrition and health education,
health assessments, recreational activities and other appropriate services for older
individuals.
Home Delivered Meal Service
The Older Americans Act authorized funding for local community programs to provide
nutrition services to the elderly. The home delivered meals program or "Meals on
Wheels" is an integral part of a community based health care system. Participants
receiving home delivered meals are aged 60 and older and homebound due to illness or
disability. The home delivered meals program provides at least one low cost, nutritious
meal, five or more days a week, delivered directly to the participants' homes.
Program Objectives
Congreeate Nutrition Services
1. To provide 82,000 nutritious meals, each containing 1/3 of the U.S. RDA, to 1,000
older individuals, aged 60 and older, at fifteen congregate nutrition sites throughout
Hawaii County by June 30, 2009.
Home Delivered Meal Service (Meals on Wheelsl
1. To deliver 68,000 nutritious meals, each containing 1/3 of the U.S. RDA, to 400 frail,
homebound older individuals, aged 60 and older, throughout Hawaii County by
June 30, 2009.

NUTRITION PROGRAM
Program Highlights
The Hawaii County Nutrition Program exceeded all of its objectives this year, providing
85,847 nutritious meals to seniors in a congregate setting, and 71,382 "Meals on Wheels"
to frail, homebound elderly.
As current research is focusing on the relationship between good nutrition and fitness
activities, all nutrition sites continued to promote fitness activities this yr, sponsoring a
variety of classes ranging from stretching to using light weights to playing modified
sports. The Hawaii County Office of Aging supported the Nutrition Program with a new
"Healthy Aging" demonstration grant, that provided an additional $75,000 for nationally
recognized Enhance Fitness classes this year, and which may provide additional funds,
for additional classes, in 2008.
For the fourth year, seniors in Hawaii County were able to participate in the national
Senior Farmer's Market Program. The Hawaii County Nutrition Program coordinated
the distribution of fresh produce throughout the island, using HCNP staff and volunteers
at congregate sites. Over 1,800 low income seniors qualified to receive bags of fresh
produce each week from August through September. All produce, worth over $250,000,
was purchased from local farmers, which provided a big boost to our island's economy.
Our Meals on Wheels program worked with a new cafeteria manager to develop new
menu items. Our senior clients were very appreciative, especially since low sugar
desserts were added (ex. sugar free jellos, low sugar cakes).
In October, 2006, the Big Island was hit by a major earthquake, causing damage to many
County facilities. All Nutrition Program sites are now back to normal, except for
Pa'auilo. The seniors are being "temporarily" housed in a private facility, but look
forward to returning to the Pa'auilo Gym Annex for their programs.
This year's results of the Parks and Recreation Service Survey for Nutrition show that:
100% of senior participants surveyed felt that we provided quality service
100% felt that services were provided with integrity
100% felt that services were provided with aloha
72% rated our service as "more than satisfactory"; 28% rated as "satisfactory"

SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES EMPLOYMENT
Program Description
The Senior Training & Employment Program (local title) or STEP aka Senior
Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)---which has been nationally retitled
to Older Americans Community Service Employment Program (OACSEP) is funded by
Title V of the Older Americans Act. The U.S. DLIR channels it to our State's Workforce
Development Division. WDD subcontracts with HCOA which farms out this part-time
training and temporary employment program to the Senior Training & Employment
Program (STEP), which is under P&R's Elderly Activities Division. According to the
April 9, 2004 Final Rule of the Federal Register, "the purposes of SCSEP are:
(1) To foster and promote useful part-time opportunities in community service activities
for unemployed low-income persons who are 55 years of age or older and who have
poor employment prospects;
(2) To foster individual economic self-sufficiency; and
(3) To increase the number of older persons who may enjoy the benefits of unsubsidized
employment in both the public and private sectors."
Please note that the Final Rule under the Older Americans Act Amendments effective
July 1, 2007 has not been released yet. When it is, the purposes may have been revised.
Unsubsidized employment means employment in jobs not subsidized by this program-
i.e., not paid for through federal funds designated for SCSEP. Its administration includes
planning, budgeting, and personnel management as well as job counseling, development,
referrals, and placements into unsubsidized jobs. STEP places enrollees at community
service agencies that provide work sites, supervision and training for the enrollees in their
fields of interest. At their work sites around the island, the enrollees gain current work
experience and current work references that the enrollees are to use to get themselves
hired into jobs outside of the program. The enrollees have the chief responsibility of
making and getting the most out of their community service placements to increase their
employability and prospects of successfully mainstreaming into the workforce at large.
Since federal funds pay for enrollee wages and fringe benefits, only public sector
agencies and nonprofit organizations (501C-3's) qualify as host agencies. In addition to
training provided by host agencies, the enrollees attend County workshops. And, the
STEP staff provide supportive services, such as counseling, safety supplies as applicable,
and referrals to other agencies to assist the enrollees. With all of this support, the
enrollees understand that STEP is basically a preparation-to-return-to work program and
that their ultimate goal is to become independent from STEP and be on their own.

& R Maintenance of parks and gyms, senior centers, P & R Municipal Golf Course
Nursery, Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo and Botanical Gardens, nutrition sites of the
Hawaii County Nutrition Program, Elderly Recreation Services, Coordinated Services
for the Elderly at Kamana and in Keaau, and Senior Employment. 4 are assisting
Coordinated Services for the Elderly. 4 are assisting Elderly Recreational Services. 1
out of 5 are assisting Elderly Activities Division programs with 5 participants
currently working at Kamana Senior Center.
2 F' Senior Job Fair in the County of Hawaii: At the County of Hawaii's first Senior
Job Fair sponsored by the Senior Training & Employment Program, Workforce
Development Division and Keep Hawaii Beautiful, Mayor Harry Kim greeted one of
over 200 job-seeking seniors who applied with employers at Aunty Sally's on 9/28/06
during "Employ the Older Worker Week." Because of the interest and support that
this fair generated, this program-with the County's support-- is planning another
Senior Job Fair next September 27, 2007 during "National Employ the Older Worker
Week."
3. Quarterly Coffee Break Workshops: Updates on new program changes affecting our
participants as well as speakers who present current information on subjects that
benefit our participants personally and at work are provided four times a year. E.g.,
County Safety Division Director Charmaine Kamaka displayed an introductory video
on the basics of work safety, covered essentials of a Hazard Communication Program,
reviewed MSDS with several sheets on hazardous chemicals, and provided our
participants with booklets summarizing the information. Next, United Healthcare's
Secure Horizons presented information useful to our participants on how the Evercare
Program provides them with better and broader coverage of the benefits under
Medicare and Medicaid. STEP staff briefed participants on anticipated program
changes brought about by the Older Americans Act Amendments last October in
order to prepare them properly, e.g. for a limited duration of enrollment, etc.

Program Highlights
Administration
1. The Director of Finance continued to assist the Department of Environmental
Management with the waste reduction facility RFP. Three applicants from Stage 1
(Request for Qualifications) were selected to submit formal proposals in Stage 2. The
County is now in negotiations with the top proposer. A final decision is expected to
be made by the County Council in December 2007.
2. Following the October 2006 earthquake that caused considerable damage in West
Hawaii, the Finance Department played an integral role in collecting cost data
related to the emergency response and ongoing reconstruction for FEMA.
Coordination of claims submitted to FEMA and our insurance carrier were also a
primary responsibility.
3. The Community Facilities District (CFD) method of financing development
continued to receive attention as a potential method to finance needed infrastructure.
The department worked with consultants to develop guidelines for implementing
CFD formation and financing. The department was also involved in a County-
supported development of workforce housing in the Waikoloa area, which will
involve CFD financing. Other developers in Waimea, Waikoloa, and Kona also
expressed interest in CFD financing.
4. The department added a new Land Management Division to consolidate real property
acquisition and disposal as well as personal property management. The division
supports the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resource Preservation
Commission.
5. For many years the County has considered combining vehicle registration functions
and driver's licensing functions into one division to provide more convenient service
to the public. This year the department established a joint agency committee to create
the new division, which will become operational in FY 2007-08.
Budget
1. After determining that too much time was spent on retraining departments to input
budget data into the FRESH system, the Budget Office resumed to the task of
inputting data for the FY 07-08 budget. The change was welcomed by the
departments and it provided the Budget Office with another insight of the budget
requests.

PURCHASING
Program Highlights
1. The division began the year with only two-thirds of normal staffing. Recruitments for
Buyer III, Buyer I, and Storekeeper resulted in all positions being filled.
2. The division completed two new price term agreements, which include items to
facilitate traffic streetlight repairs and maintenance, as well as contracts for bulldozer
and compactor rentals for the Department of Environmental Management. The
availability of this equipment on an as needed basis will greatly enhance the
department's ability to consistently maintain their County owned equipment without
an interruption to services, and have additional equipment available for unforeseen
and emergency situations.
3. Purchasing staff participated in completing an RFP for a Document Managing
System. All software and hardware have been awarded and are presently slated for
delivery and installation. This system will allow county agencies to more efficiently
record, store and retrieve various types of information, as well as more efficiently
addressing security issues related to information.
4. The division initiated a flexible bidding program for certain unique items and services
that do not lend themselves to the more traditional process of combining like-type
items. In addition to the standard March 151 and October 151 deadline for requisitions
that require bidding, Purchasing began staggered bidding to facilitate the procurement
of these unique type goods and/or services in an effort to provide more efficient
support to County using agencies.

REAL PROPERTY
Program Description
The Real Property Tax Division assesses all real property situated within the County of Hawaii
for purposes of real property taxation.
Program Objectives
1. Maintain sales assessment mean ratio 10% from the 100% assessment.
2. Maintain a co-efficient of dispersion at 15% of the mean ratio.
3. Conduct field inspections of 98% of all building permits issued or on file for all new
construction.
4. Maintain an active educational and informational program on real property taxation.
5. Initiate proceedings for two real property tax foreclosure sales to reduce the number
of delinquent accounts and dollar amount of delinquent taxes owed to the County.
Program Highlights
1. Two amendments were made to the real property tax code during the fiscal year. In
support of the County's focus on increasing affordable housing availability. The first
relates to the development of new housing. To help lower costs to provide affordable
housing, property owned by Hawai' i Housing Trust will be tax exempt until it is
developed and leased to homeowners. The second amendment allows an owner
occupied property to remain in the homeowner's class when a portion of the home is
rented for a term of not less than six months. The purpose of this measure is to assist
in alleviating the shortage of available rental units within the County, especially
Hawaii on the west of the island. A third affordable housing amendment was under
consideration by County Council as the fiscal year ended. This measure involves the
creation of an affordable rental land classification with tax benefits for those who
qualify.
2. The organizational structure of the division was modified to better coordinate the
work between the East and West Hawaii offices. The Supervising Real Property Tax
Clerk II assumed supervision responsibility of both the East and West Hawaii
clerical sections. The Treasury Division's move to a new office in Kona provided
much needed space for expansion of the West Hawaii office
3. The number of appeals increased from the previous year's total of 229 to 575 because
the real estate market was climbing to record levels. Many areas in East Hawaii
experienced values going up 300 to 400 times within the budget year.
4. The large number of new building permits continued to keep the staff busy
throughout the year.
5. There were a number of training opportunities offered to the staff throughout the year,
including specialized classes for the entire appraisal staff.

DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
Mission Statement
"First in fire protection and emergency services with trained professionals-dedicated to
serve with pride, honor, and compassion. "
Department Goals
Over the preceding five year period commencing on March 1, 2002, and coinciding with
the transition of a new Fire Department Administration, the goals and objectives
identified within each program budget reflected an effort to establish a "performance
based" budget based on those measures identified within the organization's Strategic
Plan. The process of establishing performance measures and achievement benchmarks
was intended to provide a basis for the fund allocation and expenditures of each program
and the missions of the organization.
This process has proven to be both responsible and challenging and requiring the routine
or regular assessment of organizational progress, performance, and consideration of
measure modification. Further, after this first five-year period, a review, revision, and
update of the department's Strategic Plan will result in the realignment of performance
measures and objectives, which will have a direct influence on the program budget of the
Fire Department.
From its inception, the Fire Department's Strategic Plan had been identified as a dynamic
"road map" subject to change based on internal and external influences. This "road map"
was intended to be used as a tool to both set the direction of the organization as well as to
communicate that direction to the department's stakeholders and customers.
As a component of the Strategic Plan, regular evaluation of objective and goal attainment
has been attempted--and in some areas proven difficult at best--to qualify. Difficulty in
measuring or evaluating performance was identified as being attributed to program
objectives that were "unstable" or subject to environmental influences which resulted in a
moving target.

FIRE
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
Department Goals (continued)
An example of this was the early establishment of a department goal to control or
influence the per capita fire loss of the community. It became very evident that
fluctuations in population as well as social economic changes such as a sudden climb in
real property values resulted in significant impact on the per capita dollar loss regardless
of actual service delivery or organizational performance.
This program budget document includes those program budget changes that reflect the
modification and revision of the department's Strategic Plan. As listed below, the
department's goals represent very global or general performance measures with regards
to the various missions and functions of the organization.
1. Develop, implement, and maintain program strategies that will have a positive
and direct influence on fire loss throughout the community of the island of
Hawaii. Fire losses are intended to include:
a. Loss of Life: The actual loss of human life attributed to fire related
incidents.
b. Loss of Property: The estimated property value loss attributed to fire
related incidents.
c. Socioeconomic Impact: The direct impact on fire related incidents upon
community social and financial stability.
d. Environmental Impact: The loss or damage of natural or cultural
resources as a result of fire related incidents.
2. Develop, implement, and maintain program strategies that will directly influence
the quality of pre-hospital emergency medical services throughout the island of
Hawaii. Such strategies and tactics would in a positive manner directly impact:
a. Patient survivability in the presence of a pre-hospital illness or injury.
b. Patient disability associated with pre-hospital illness or injury.
3. Develop, implement, and maintain program strategies that will support the
effective response and mitigation of mass casualty and disaster type incidents or
events.
4. Develop, implement, and maintain strategies that will have a direct and positive
impact on the response and mitigation of various hazardous materials type
incidents. Similar to fire related incidents this would include the influence of.
a. The reduction or minimizing of public exposure to hazardous materials
incidents.
b. The reduction or minimizing of environmental impact from hazardous
materials incidents.
106
FIRE
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
Department Goals (continued)
5. Develop, implement, and maintain strategies that will have a direct and positive
influence on the safety and recreational satisfaction of patrons of County
protected beach parks and shoreline areas.
6. Develop, implement, and maintain strategies that will support and enhance the
effectiveness to respond to and mitigate search and rescue type incidents.
7. Develop and implement a budget process that segregates/separates or delineates
the Divisions and Bureaus to identify and facilitate the tracking of expenditures in
order to develop a more functional and accountable budget.
Department Objectives
1. Utilizing the following mechanisms or processes, department goal attainment would
be pursued and achieved by maximizing available resources:
a. Pre-Incident Strategies and Tactics. This would include the consideration and
possible implementation of prevention and public education programs focused
on identified issues and target audiences, with the intent on taking proactive
steps to preventing incidents and accidents thereby reducing losses and
morbidity and disability.
b. Preparedness and Capability Enhancement. Based on the respective missions
and service delivery expectations, identify, adopt, and implement resource and
training standards aimed at providing the highest quality of service.
C. Operational Tactics and Strategies. Concurrently with the support of
preparedness and capability enhancement, identify, establish, and implement
operational tactics and strategies that will maximize operational effectiveness
and overall incident mitigation safety.
d. Post Incident Anal. This component of Objective Identification and
Development is essential to and directly associated with the development of
pre-incident strategies and tactics. Through the evaluation and analysis of
mission performance as well as contributing factors or circumstances
surrounding emergency incidents, other program measures or strategies can be
identified and developed. This could include public education and awareness as
well as hazard and risk identification.

demographics. Referenced recognized standards may include but are not limited to
such organizations as: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Insurance
Services Office (ISO), the Hawaii Insurance Bureau, the State of Hawaii
Department of Health, and the United States Lifeguarding Association.
3. Maintain annual review of department's ability to meet service delivery standards.
4. Identify specific resource, personnel, and training requirements to achieve recognized
standards.
5. Develop a financial report and budget projections required to implement reforms.
6. Identify funding sources for proposed reforms to include alternative funding
programs and inter-agency cost sharing or partnerships.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS DIVISION
Program Description
Our major program objectives fall into one of our six identified strategic focuses, which
are: Training and Education, Communications/Relations, Public Education/Public
Relations, Safety, Financial Effectiveness, and Operational Effectiveness. Not all
divisions will have the same percentage of contributions to our strategic focuses,
however, they are the areas around which all of our work is oriented.
The Emergency Operations Division represents the actual emergency response and
emergency mission performance component of the Fire Department. Although the
Emergency Operations Division could not achieve its goal and objectives of delivering
the best possible services to the community without the aid and assistance of the Support
Services Division, for the purpose of organizational strategic planning, structure, and
fiscal planning and budgeting, it is imperative to provide some delineation between the
two divisions.
It is also essential to the evaluation and assessment of the Emergency Operations
Division to first recognize and understand its inherent core functions and missions. The
Emergency Operations Division is tasked with the delivery and performance of Fire
Protection and Suppression (structural, wild land, transportation, etc.), Emergency
Medical Services, Search and Rescue, Hazardous Materials Incident response, and a
variety public safety services at County staffed and guarded beaches through its Ocean
Safety program.

1. Continued pursuit of meeting recognized response time standards.
2. Maintain annual review and evaluation of department's service delivery performance
based on identified recognized fire protection service delivery standards as defined by
but not limited to NFPA, Hawaii Insurance Bureau, Insurance Services Office (ISO),
OSHA, and United States Lifeguarding Association.
3. Continued pursuit of personnel and resource requirements for achievement of
industry standards of fire protection service delivery. This will include the pursuit of
meeting of personnel staffing levels in accordance with NFPA 1710 Standard for the
Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical
Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments.
4. Maintain annual review and revision of all Mutual Aid Agreements, Memorandums
of Understanding (MOU), and Memorandums of Agreement (MOA) to support
interagency partnerships and operational effectiveness.
5. Maintain annual review and revision of current Search and Rescue policies and
procedures in accordance with recognized industry standards.

FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU
Program Description
The Fire Prevention Bureau plays an integral role in the development, implementation,
and maintenance of life and fire safety programs affecting the County of Hawaii. This
bureau is responsible for the review of various building plans and development project
proposals in addition to the enforcement of fire codes and regulations. Personnel conduct
site and building inspections, public education and fire safety and prevention training,
and post fire incident investigations. The Fire Prevention Bureau plays an integral role in
the support and achievement of organizational goals and objectives from the perspective
of education and prevention. This proactive role, although difficult to measure and
quantify, has a direct impact on the reduction and control of fire losses. It is the desire
and intent of the Fire Department Administration to expand its public education programs
based on the identification of specific trends and identifiable causes contributing to fire
losses.
Program Objectives
1. Maintain inter-agency partnerships to assist in addressing identified needs to include
but not limited to; the State Fire Council, National Fire Academy (NFA), National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Hawaii Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection
Engineers (SFPE), and other county, state, and federal fire and law enforcement
agencies.
2. Continue to pursue the adoption of the current State Model Fire Code.
3. Maintain the support and direct participation in the review, modification,
development, and adoption of the 2006 NFPA 1 Uniform Fire Code.
4. Develop recommendations for a fire prevention public education program designed to

FIRE
AUXILIARY SERVICES BUREAU
Program Descriptions
The Hawaii Fire Department's Auxiliary Services Bureau is comprised of three support
sections: 1) Fire Equipment Maintenance Section, 2) Fire and Emergency
Communications Section, and 3) Warehouse and Supply Section. Each of these sections
is vital to the organization's ability to deliver and sustain essential emergency services.
As described and defined below, each section provides a variety of functions and services
either in support of emergency operations or in conjunction or association with the
Emergency Operations Division.
Fire Equipment Maintenance Section
The Fire Equipment Maintenance Section provides the repair and support services for all
department vehicles, apparatus and portable equipment. Personnel also participate in the
design and specification of new equipment and apparatus to be acquired. This support
section is a critical component in the maintenance of emergency services and mission
readiness of the fire department. The support role of the Fire Equipment Maintenance
Section is essential and critical to the success of the department in meeting its goals and
objectives. As the organization's mission and service delivery demands continue to
increase, the maintenance and repair of the department's vehicle and apparatus fleet
continue to grow at exponential rates. Combined with the fact that the fleet continues to
age, which is reflective of an increase in repairs, the sustainability of emergency
operations is dependent upon the support and maintenance of all apparatus and
equipment.
Fire Communications Control Center
The Fire Communications Control Center is the focal point through which all emergency
service requests are made via the telephone as well as via the radio communications
system. In addition, all fire department operational activities and communication are
coordinated through the Fire Communications Control Center to include flight following
for our two helicopter aircrafts. Fire Radio Dispatchers also provide on-line pre-arrival
medical instruction or Emergency Medical Dispatching services to persons placing 911

ANIMAL CONTROL
Mission Statement
The Hawaii Island Humane Society (HIHS), contracted by the County to provide animal control
services, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, whose mission is to prevent cruelty to animals,
eliminate pet overpopulation, and enhance the bond between humans and animals.
Goal
To investigate and resolve animal-related complaints and enforce animal control laws. To
develop comprehensive educational programs and spay/neuter programs aimed at reducing the
number of animal-related problems in our community.
Program Description
The HIHS is responsible for Animal Control contract, which involves enforcing Hawaii County
Code Chapter 4 Animal Control related laws and State of Hawaii Laws (Hawai`i Revised
Statutes 142). These laws currently include ordinances related to the following:
• Vicious Dogs
• Stray Animals/Impoundment
• Animal Licensing
• Cruelty and Neglect
HIHS Officers are badged through training provided by HIHS and County agencies. The
Animal Control Officers (ACOs) then respond and resolve animal control situations by educating
the public about responsible pet ownership and appropriate animal control laws and penalties as
well as issuing complaint and comply notices, citations, and vicious dog designations. HIHS
Officers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to animal related emergencies.
HIHS must accept all animals, regardless of condition, into its three shelters in Kona, Keaau, and
Waimea. We are responsible for sheltering and caring for all animals and providing opportunity
for reunification with owners. Other services related to the contract include dog licensing,
administration of the Spay/Neuter Community Assistance Program, and legislative support of
improved animal-related laws.
In addition, HIHS provides adoption services, low-cost microchipping, education for adult and
children, foster-care programs, volunteer opportunities, cat registrations, and basic medical care
for shelter animals. HIHS community programs focus on creating better relationships between
people and animals, and educating the public on the importance of spaying and neutering.

ANIMAL CONTROL
Program Objectives
1. 90% of vicious dog calls will be responded to within 2 hours.
2. 90% of loose animal posing a public safety hazard calls will be responded to within 2 hours.
3. 90% of injured animal related calls will be responded to within 2 hours.
4. 90% of calls for animal control assistance by the police will be responded to within 3 hours.
5. 90% of animal cruelty and neglect cases will be responded to in 24 hours and resolved in 14
working days.
6. 90% of license, loose dog and any non-cruelty/neglect cases will be responded to in 48 hours
and resolved in 5 working days.
7. 70 Sweeps of problem communities per year.
Program Highlights
A new building for housing puppies was built at HIHS owned facility in Kea'au funded entirely
by donation. This new area allows for puppies to be held separate from adult dogs which lessens
the opportunity for infectious disease to transfer to immune compromised babies. This new
facility is integral in reaching our goal of only adopting out healthy animals.
Due to more county funding for the spay and neuter program as well as adjustments to the
programs qualifications HIHS was able to administer low cost coupons to more individuals in the
community with financial need.
HIHS hired a full-time veterinarian who is now performing more than 100 spay/neuter surgeries
per month. Our on-staff vet also oversees medical care to all the animals in our three facilities as
well as the animals in our custody that are being held as evidence.
Animal Control Officers and administration continues to work closely with HPD to resolve
issues efficiently and effectively within the community.
The following are highlights of what we are working towards in the 2007-2008 fiscal year:
HIHS plans to kick-off a capital campaign to build a new facility at our Waimea location.
In July 2007 our shelters were networked and we plan to purchase database software which will
serve as a means to enhance communication between shelters.

PANA'EWA RECREATIONAL COMPLEX
Program Description
The Pana`ewa Recreational Complex is comprised of two facilities. Pana`ewa Rainforest
Zoo and Gardens and Pana`ewa Equestrian Center together provide varied recreational
opportunities that are open to the public.
Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo
The Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens is the only natural rainforest zoo in the United
States. This provides the unique opportunity to exhibit species in a natural rainforest
atmosphere. An abundance of flora enhances the zoo experience and transforms the zoo
into a botanical park exhibit as well. Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens provides a
welcome form of alternate recreation for all ages to enjoy. The zoo is open to the public
everyday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., 7 days a week and is only closed on Christmas and
New Years. There is currently no admission charge.
Modern zoos strive to provide and promote a theme of conservation through education
and recreational activities. Conservation of world wildlife and rainforests will effect the
generations to come. Continuing education and awareness is vital to preserving these
natural resources for the future, and the zoo affords the perfect opportunity to combine
this education with recreation.
Our program is achieved by maintaining standards to allow continuation of Federal
licensure and acquisition of State and Federal permits necessary to transport and house
restricted animals. Volunteer docents are utilized to provide educational tours for school
excursions and outreach programs. Community involvement is vital to the program's
success and expansion.
Equestrian Center
The Equestrian Center is located adjacent to the zoo and has the capacity to house 64
horses. Horse stalls are rented to the public for a nominal cost.
The Pana` ewa Equestrian Center is developed and maintained for a wide variety of
equestrian related activities. Facilities include a 5/8 mile Race Track, Rodeo Arena, Hot
Walker, Wash Racks, and 64 Rental Stalls with attached Paddocks. The center is open for
public use 7 days a week.

Program Measures (continued)
The Department's regulatory functions can be measured in terms of volume and
responsiveness. The previous table provides an indication of volume, which should be
considered relative to the number of personnel. The Zoning Code, Subdivision Code,
Planning Commission Rules, and Planning Department Rules prescribe time limits in
which the department is required to address the majority of the aforementioned
applications and permits. Responsiveness measures are not available until an improved
permit tracking system is implemented. Further effort would need to invest in the current
tracking system to generate performance reports that reflect categories of regulatory
functions and parameters such as length of time for processing.

Program Highlights
Human Resources Section
Throughout Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the Department embarked on an aggressive police
officer recruitment campaign in cooperation with the Department of Human Resources.
At the forefront was a new recruit video that highlights the benefits of a career with the
Hawaii Police Department and spotlights the advantages of living on the island of
Hawaii. The video has been distributed throughout the Police Department for use as a
recruitment tool and is being broadcast on public access television.
Equally important, the department began a new cadet program to attract recent high school
graduates who are too young to immediately apply for a job as a police officer. At the
end of the fiscal year, the target date for the first cadet class was October 1, 2007.
During Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the department began the 70s' and 71 st Recruit Classes,
from which 18 recruits graduated. During the same fiscal year, 33 new officers joined
the ranks of officers in the field.
The Police Department hosted two one-week training seminars on death and homicide
investigation and the Reid Technique of interrogation. Forty-eight sworn personnel
attended.
The Police Department produced a new cable access television show, "Hawaii Island's
Most Wanted," in cooperation with Crime Stoppers Hilo, Inc. The program asks for the
public's help in locating wanted and missing individuals. It has already proven to be a
helpful law enforcement tool that strengthens the department's partnership with the
community.
Word Processing Center
The Word Processing Center is responsible for transcribing all narrative police reports
that sworn personnel dictate into a digital recording system. After completion and
approval, the reports are routed via the Records Management System (RMS) and become
the official documents that detail the Department's criminal investigations.
Throughout the 2006-2007 Fiscal Year, the Word Processing Center worked long hours
in an attempt to keep up with the high workload. An inordinate amount of overtime was
incurred by the center, which included one Clerical Services Supervisor, one Assistant
Clerical Supervisor, and twelve (12) Clerk III staff members, in an effort to complete and
process the transcription of all police narrative dictations by Police Department sworn
personnel island-wide for prosecutorial measures in a timely manner.
225
POLICE
ADMINISTRATIVE BUREAU - Administrative Services
Program Highlights
An average of 4,005 reports were transcribed each month, totaling more than 48,000
reports (over 282,000 minutes of dictation).
During Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the Word Processing Center was able to add two
additional Clerk III positions, along with two complete digital transcription workstations,
to help with the ever increasing workload. The Word Processing Center now has a total
of fourteen (14) Clerk III positions to transcribe dictated police narratives. When
successfully filled and upon completion of intense training, the two additional Clerk III
positions will be able to contribute additional manpower to help reduce overtime
demands necessary to process all dictated police narratives in a timely manner.
Finance Section
During FY 2006-07, the Section staff was kept extremely busy due to a higher level of
turnover in personnel than usual. The personnel movements also promoted the need for
cross-training of duties and responsibilities so that operations could continue despite the
personnel shortages and changes.
The Department also reallocated the Senior Account Clerk position that was assigned to
the Payroll function of the Finance Section to an Accountant I. This reallocation also
resulted in a shifting of duties aimed at increasing the Section's efficiency.
With the increase in Special Duty fees that occurred in FY07, the Section is hopeful that
it will be able to meet its Program Measure regarding the "Filling of Special Duty
Requests."

POLICE
ADMINISTRATIVE BUREAU - Technical Services
Program Highlights
Records and Identification Section
Members of the Police Department continue to gain knowledge of the full capabilities of
the Records Management System (RMS), which went into effect in 2005. In a recent
case, a victim knew only the first name of a suspect. That name was processed through
the RMS to create a photo lineup. The lineup led to a positive identification and,
ultimately, a confession in a serious felony.
The Records and Identification Section has reduced the backlog of cases that police send
to prosecutors for a charging decision. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the backlog
caused a 10-month lag between the time an officer sent a case to the Records Section and
the time it reached the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney. That delay was down to three-
and-a-half months by the end of the fiscal year. The goal is to reduce it to the point that a
case gets to prosecutors within a month.
Communications - Dispatch
Hawaii County launched its new Wireless Enhanced 911 system on April 26. The project,
which began in November 2006, assists in pinpointing the location of a person who
makes emergency calls on a cellular phone to the Police or Fire Departments. Phase One
of WE911, as it is commonly known, provided dispatchers with a general location of a
cell phone user. Phase Two has the ability to locate and track a cellular phone caller on a
computerized map. The new system is fully funded by the State WE911 Board, an entity
created by state law in 2004.
Traffic Services Section
The Police Department received $354,860 in federal grant funds for traffic enforcement
and equipment purchases to improve traffic safety. The funds were used to pay
additional overtime for checkpoints and other enforcement projects to decrease injuries
and deaths in motor vehicle crashes by increasing seat belt use rates, apprehending
impaired drivers and enforcing speed regulations and illegal "outlaw" road racing.
Twelve new radar units were purchased for use island wide. Ten hand-held laser radar
units previously purchased with grant funding were distributed to various districts
throughout the island.
229
POLICE
ADMINISTRATIVE BUREAU - Technical Services
Program Highlights (Continued)
The Traffic Safety Coordinator was again funded through the state's Safe Communities
grant program. The Coordinator oversees the Hawaii County Impaired Driving Task
Force, which is committed to reducing impaired driving fatalities on the Big Island.
Since the inception of this working group, its top priority has been to reduce the alcohol-
and drug-related fatality rate in Hawaii County.
Driver Licensing Section
In 2006, the department issued licenses to 2,346 more drivers than the previous year,
bringing the total to 122,087. During the fiscal year, the Driver Licensing section
conducted 5,476 road examinations 2,971 more than the year before.
Computer Center
The department's Computer Center began converting the computer network system that
links the district stations to the central station in Hilo, replacing older technology with
high-speed lines. The new method is faster and about one-seventh the cost of the old one.
The stations converted include Hamakua, Puna, Pahoa sub-station, South Kohala, North
Kohala, and the Mauna Lani sub-station. The Kau and Captain Cook stations are
scheduled for completion by the end of November 2007.
The Computer Center staff also provided support for several projects that are in various
stages of completion, to include:
? Police Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) deployment
? Radio over IP - Civil Defense Interoperability Grant
? Hawai'i Integrated Justice Information Sharing (HIJIS) - Hawaii Criminal
Justice Data Center
? Intergraph Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) map conversion for Wireless

Program Description
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION
The Criminal Investigations Division investigates all crimes of violence, theft, fraud,
commercialized vice and narcotics; apprehends perpetrators of these crimes; and it
compiles evidence and information for the prosecution of all persons charged with
violations of criminal statutes. The Division is also responsible for criminal
investigations of police officers, while Internal Affairs conducts concurrent
administrative investigations.
This Division is under the command of a Police Captain who oversees the operations of
the respective Sections to include the Criminal Investigations Section (CIS) that includes
the Crime Laboratory, the Juvenile Aid Section (JAS), and the Vice Section, which
includes the "Ice" Task Force (ITF) and the Drug Interdiction Task Force (DITF).
Criminal Investigation Section (CIS)
Responsible for the investigation of all major crimes to include homicides, suspicious
deaths, assaults, property crimes, identity thefts, and fraud.
Juvenile Aid Section (JAS)
The JAS, under the command of a Police Lieutenant, is responsible for the investigation
of cases involving juveniles as victims or perpetrators. Investigations conducted include
assaults, property crimes, sexual assaults, domestic violence, gang activity, and status
offenses. Juvenile programs such as the Positive Alternatives to Gang Education (PAGE)
that is designed to reach the youths at risk with the help classroom curriculum for gang
resistance and drug deterrence.
It should be noted that in continuing with our efforts to maximize the effectiveness of our
programs and to make the most of our limited resources, the department has reorganized
the HI-PAL Program that was originally under JAS, incorporating it into the Community
Policing School Resource Officer Program.
The JAS also maintains two specialized units consisting of the Sex Crimes Unit,
specializing in sexual assault investigations, and the Domestic Violence Unit,
specializing in domestic abuse cases.
The General Detail Detective in JAS assisted by a Police Officer III who oversees the
Positive Alternatives to Gang Education (PAGE), which is an in-school educational
program, aimed at providing alternatives to youths who might otherwise be enticed into

gang membership. This same unit is also responsible for overseeing Crime Reduction
Units (CRU) in which personnel are temporarily culled from other sections in order to
detect and investigate gang activity and underage drinking. The Police Officer III
position in this unit will become a County-funded position in December 2005, due to the
expiration of the Office of Youth Services Gang Response Grant that previously funded
the position. The officer in this position will have an additional assignment to handle and
work with a canine (certified scent-oriented canine) that will assist police in locating
missing children. The dog will be utilized as needed, to help locate any other missing
parties. This added function will enhance the department's operations and capabilities,
assisting police in locating missing persons sooner.
The IMPACT (Incorporated Measures Preventing Alcohol Consumption by Teens)
project is now in its fifth year. The three elements of the program are enforcement,
education, and ownership. Enforcement is done through weekly CRU details, which
enforces underage drinking. The Courts then sentences the juveniles to attend an
educational program that is held on the last Saturday of the month. The results of the
program have been impressive, with over 95% of the participants not being repeat
offenders for drinking offenses. The Prosecutor's Office and the Courts have recognized
the IMPACT program as one of the alternative programs when contemplating sentencing
forjuveniles.
Vice Section
The Vice Section is responsible for the prevention and suppression of all forms of
commercialized vice activity, including prostitution, gambling, and illegal trafficking of
narcotics. Special operations and covert programs are in place to combat the cultivation
of marijuana and distribution of illegal drugs on the Big Island. Federal and State grants
provide the necessary funding to accomplish our objectives.
Vice officers belong to the Statewide Narcotics Task Force and Statewide Marijuana
Eradication Task Force and are involved in joint operations with the Drug Enforcement
Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Bureau of Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, The United States Postal Service and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The Vice Section is also part of the Hawaii High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force.
The Vice Sections are augmented with an "Ice" Task Force (ITF) on each side of the
island consisting of personnel from within our Department. The primary goal of the Ice
Task Forces is to identify, disrupt, prosecute, and ultimately dismantle street mid- and
upper-level drug trafficking organizations dealing crystal methamphetamine

The Crime Laboratory performs a variety of physical, chemical, instrumental, and
microscopic analysis of evidence in connection with crime detection and law
enforcement work. In addition, all of the Criminalists assigned are required to provide
court testimony whenever necessary in both State and Federal Courts.
PATROL DIVISIONS
The Patrol Divisions, each under the command of a Police Captain, plan, proactively
direct and coordinate functions toward the enforcement of Federal, State, and County
laws, the prevention of crime, the apprehension and custody of law violators, and the
development of partnerships between the community and the Hawaii County Police
Department. These divisions include the operating units from each of the police districts,
Community Policing, Police Reserve Officers Program and the Traffic Enforcement Unit.
The Patrol Divisions continue enforcement efforts through special projects such as
sobriety checkpoints, seatbelt/child restraint checkpoints, high-speed enforcement, under
age drinking deterrent programs, and truancy deterrent programs. These special projects
would not have been possible if not for Federal and State grant funding.
Community Policing Officers
Community Policing for Area I is coordinated by a Police Lieutenant and consists of
fourteen (14) Police Officer III (PO III) positions. These PO III positions are distributed

Program Highlights
Criminal Investigation Section (CIS)
The Area I Criminal Investigation Section (CIS) During the 2006-2007 Fiscal Year,
the Area I CIS detectives investigated four murders and eleven attempted murders and
solved all of them.
In this period, the Area I CIS detectives, in addition to their usual duties, began
investigating all burglaries reported to the Patrol Division. As a result, detectives
received 630 burglary investigations, which was more than a 700 percent increase over
the 85 burglaries investigated by CIS in the previous year.
Area I CIS investigated 2,230 cases and was able to attain an overall 71 percent clearance
rate of its assigned cases.
Among the more notable cases investigated was a maliciously set fire to Waiakea High
School's administration building, causing an estimated $1.5 million in damages to the
structure and its contents. Detectives received assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) who offered a $5,000 reward for information
and established a toll-free number for callers. The ensuing investigation indicated that
four male juveniles from the community were responsible for intentionally setting the
fire. The investigation was referred to the Office of the Prosecution Attorney.

Of the four murders investigated by Area I detectives this year, two cases were especially
disturbing. The first was the gruesome killing of a 21-year-old woman. On November 1,
2006, family members reported her missing and last known to have gone to see her 23-
year-old ex-boyfriend, who is the father of their 2-year-old child. Detectives immediately
began investigating, as the circumstances of her disappearance were extremely troubling.
The investigation revealed that the boyfriend had killed the woman and burned her body.
Detectives recovered her charred remains in her vehicle, which was found in a secluded
area of the Panaewa forest. The man later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is
awaiting sentencing.
The second case involved the death of a 14-year-old boy at the hands of his father. On
June 11, 2007, the boy's mother, who was in the third trimester of her pregnancy, went to
the Ainaloa home of her estranged husband. While there, the pair got into a verbal
argument, which escalated into a physical confrontation. The woman was stabbed several
times in her abdomen. The couple's son came to his mother's aid and restrained his
father. It was then that the boy received a fatal knife wound to his neck. The woman
survived the attack but her unborn child did not. The father was charged with second-
degree murder, attempted second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. He
is awaiting trial.

Patrol Divisions
The South Hilo Patrol Division During Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the communities in the
South Hilo District experienced a significant drop in the number of property crimes.
Reported burglaries decreased by more than 18 percent, while reported thefts decreased
by 25 percent. During this fiscal year, the Police Department started a program to fast-
track all burglaries and felony theft cases to the detectives of the Criminal Investigations
Division. This program, along with coordinated efforts between the two divisions,
contributed to a significantly high clearance rate for these property crimes, as well as
many other investigative successes. Police cleared 1,367, or 59 percent of the 2,435 theft
cases in South Hilo and were able to recover a large amount of the stolen property and
return much of it to the victims.

POLICE
OPERATIONS BUREAUS
Program Highlights (continued)
During this fiscal year, the number of major traffic accidents in South Hilo decreased by
13 percent. The district's officers contributed to this decline using focused enforcement
of traffic offenses and aggressive efforts to apprehend drunk drivers. South Hilo Patrol
officers issued 11,651 traffic citations or 18 percent more than the previous fiscal year.
They also arrested 182 drunk drivers during this fiscal year, 17 percent more than the
previous year.
Officer Darryl Castillo exemplifies how officers of the South Hilo District are committed
to the Department's Core Values and Mission and Vision Statements. During the months
of April and May of 2007, the Hilo area was plagued by individuals spray painting
graffiti on buildings, walls and other structures. On May 24, Officer Castillo stopped two
males walking along Kawili Street, each carrying a bag. The officer noticed that both of
them had what appeared to be fresh paint on their hands. He also observed paint cans in
the bags. After further engaging the individuals, Officer Castillo skillfully learned that
the individuals had just spray painted graffiti on the bridge on Lanikaula Street near the
University of Hawaii dormitories. As a result of Officer Castillo's diligent patrolling and
investigative techniques, both individuals were charged with two felony counts of
criminal property damage. Most important, with the apprehension of these two
individuals, the rash of vandalism ended.
The Puna Patrol Division The Puna District continues to experience a population and
building boom that will surely expend resources of all government agencies. Some
internet real estate sites have estimated the Puna population at nearly 50,000. That is
almost 60 percent more people than the 31,335 figure from the census taken in 2000.
Community policing officers are committed to working closely with community
associations, Neighborhood Watches and business people to improve the quality of life in
Puna. These officers and officers from the Puna station have participated in parades, sign
waving events, keiki identification booths, community litter clean ups, DARE training at
Keaau Intermediate School and post-graduation events with Keaau High School and
Pahoa High School.
The Weed and Seed project continues for Pahoa Village and is progressing toward the

The district ended with two fewer DUI arrests and a 29 percent reduction in traffic
accidents.
The Hamakua Patrol Division The Honokaa District created Crime Reduction Unit
(CRU) details this past fiscal year to control and eliminate various offenses at parks and
community functions. The details handled truancy violations, drug offenses, DUI
roadblocks, loud noise and drinking complaints. In addition to the school resource and
community police officers, some details included detectives from the Juvenile Aid
Section, Community Police Officers from three other districts and traffic enforcement
officers and patrol officers from both East and West Hawaii.
Community Policing Officers (CPOs) manned Keiki ID booths at several events and
charitable functions. In addition, they processed ID cards for more than 400 Honokaa
Elementary School students in grades K through 6.
In summer, the Hamakua Drug Free Committee hosted several "Celebrating Families"

Program Highlights (continued)
Through the collaborative effort of police, community and the media, police intend to
maintain this enhanced level of policing and enforcement.
Police increased their presence through high-profile patrols, CRUs and robbery details to
create a safer and more secure environment on Ali'i Drive in Kailua Village. Overt and
covert enforcement led to numerous arrests for outstanding warrants, liquor violations,
drug possession, trafficking and other related crimes.
CRU details have also focused on conducting beach park sweeps and checks of areas
known for large gatherings, such as the Old Kona Airport. Enforcement is being used as
a short-term solution, while Community Police Officers plan long-term strategies for
problem areas. One such area is Hookena Beach, where community policing and patrol
officers have increased checks and continue to coordinate improvements, such as
installing an emergency telephone. Throughout the fiscal year, CRU details issued 66
adult arrests for liquor violations, 17 juvenile arrests for liquor violations, 15 arrests for
marijuana use, one adult arrest for open lewdness, one adult arrest for criminal littering,
16 adult arrests for bench warrants, one juvenile arrest for a bench warrant and one
juvenile arrest for runaway. They also took two juveniles into protective custody, issued
three trespass warning citations and issued eight illegal camping citations.
Patrol officers have excelled this fiscal year in traffic enforcement related to drunk
driving, speeding, seat belt use, and aggressive driving. Patrol initiated 660 impaired
driving arrests, an increase from 547 arrests for the previous fiscal year. They issued
1,790 speeding citations compared with 918 the previous year. Due to the "Click It or
Ticket" campaign, the Kona seat belt usage rate increased from 88 percent in North Kona
and 87 percent in South Kona to 92 percent in North Kona and 89 percent in South Kona.
Aggressive driving enforcement on Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Route 190 has
prompted citations for speeding, following too closely, improper or unsafe passing and
others related to aggressive driving.
Patrol officers continue to assist in easing the traffic congestion in Kona, an example of
which is the district's continued participation in the Honalu Junction Project. Community
policing officers continued to assist Public Works by prohibiting vehicles from merging
from southbound Highway 180 at the Honalo junction onto Kuakini Highway
southbound during peak periods. This has led to a more consistent traffic flow and
lowered commute times.
The South Kohala Patrol Division. During Fiscal Year 2006-2007 the communities
within the South Kohala District experienced a significant drop in reported property
crimes. Due to a program started the previous fiscal year, whereby South Kohala officers
were trained to use best-practice investigative techniques coupled with improved

report-writing skills, the district realized a significant reduction in burglaries (115 versus
67). Reported thefts also saw a decrease (710 versus 593).
A continued coordinated effort between the Patrol Division and Criminal Investigations
Division targeting drug offenders and other known individuals contributed to a 24 percent
clearance rate for burglaries and a 53 percent clearance of reported thefts during Fiscal
Year 2006-2007.
The most significant events during this period were major brush fires, some leading to the
ordered evacuation of Waikoloa village. These numerous fires also caused road closures
of Waikoloa Road, Route 190 and Queen Kaahumanu Hwy. The fires burned more than
5,000 acres of open range land and, at times, threatened homes in Waikoloa Village.
Several of the fires appeared suspicious, given evidence found at the scene and
information that the Police and Fire departments periodically received about a suspicious
red truck in the vicinity before the onset of flames.
Police manned roadblocks and successfully evacuated the residents most threatened by
the fires with help from specialized units and at least 25 officers from other districts.
Evacuated residents found shelter at Waikoloa Elementary School or area resorts. No one
was seriously injured and no homes or other structures were lost from the fires.
The South Kohala officers were not limited to crime deterrence and investigative success
during Fiscal Year 2006-2007. Officers also participated in many community events,
projects and outreach programs.
During the fiscal year, the Community Police Officer, along with several South Kohala
officers, registered several hundred keiki with the Keiki I.D. program. In April, Officer
Brad Feliciano, Reserve Officer Joseph Kealoha and other officers organized the Second
Annual Easter-Egg Hunt for special needs students at Waimea Elementary school. As in
past years, the Easter-Egg Hunt was held in partnership with several local businesses.
These businesses donated eggs, coloring supplies and prizes.
The North Kohala Patrol Division During Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Captain James
Sanborn and Sergeant Mark Farias joined the staff of the North Kohala District, filling
vacancies left by the transfers of Captain Lawrence Balberde and Sergeant John
Rodrigues.
The district experienced an increase in the number of property crimes. Reported
burglaries increase by 72 percent while reported thefts rose by 87 percent. As a result of
improved police response and investigation, the North Kohala District realized a 41

The Ka'u Patrol Division Police officers of the Ka'u District were responsible for
developing and investigating several incidents that led to federal prosecution and
indictments for the responsible individuals.
As a result of their commitment to protecting the public, Ka'u officers conducted
thorough investigations that led to search warrants being executed and drugs and firearms
being recovered. In these investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives was contacted and apprised of the incidents. As a result, the investigations
were adopted for federal prosecution.
On February 5, 2007, 59-year-old Gregory Fambrough of Ocean View was arrested
during the execution of a search warrant at his home, where police found a minute
amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a.22 caliber rifle with a sawed-off barrel.
Federal authorities adopted the investigation and indicted Fambrough federally.
On April 23, 2007, police were seeking 30-year-old Leonard Kainoa Jr. of Na'alehu in
connection with a criminal property damage complaint. When they located him during a
traffic stop, they saw evidence that led them to obtain a search warrant. The warrant
resulted in the recovery of .2 grams crystal methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, a .22
caliber rifle, and .22 caliber ammunition, all located in the vehicle . Again, federal
authorities adopted the investigation and brought a federal indictment against Kainoa.
On April 26, 2007, the East Hawaii Aloha Exchange Club selected Officer Dane Shibuya

Program Highlights
Public Information and Education (Community Outreach)
• An Informational Hotline (334-9559) was implemented to allow motorists updates on road
construction 24 hours of the day. Caller is directed to a live person for additional
information.
• The public was introduced the "Bridges of the Island of Hawai'i," a brochure that
showcased some of the 127 bridges maintained by the County. These bridges are
made of steel, concrete, or wood and span streams or gulches in every community.
The first brochure showcased the bridges that serve the communities of Kalopa and
Pa'auilo. It includes photographs of each of the 19 bridges, their locations on a map,
and the weight restrictions for each of these bridges.

information on Building, Plumbing, and Electrical permits. Information is updated
weekly.
Maior Program Initiatives
• On October 15, the island was jolted by a series of earthquakes, which quickly mobilized
the Public Works staff into action. Within hours, staff assessed public facilities and began
restoring the County's infrastructure. Restoration to the County's infrastructure, primarily
to reinforce slopes along roadways continues.
• Ongoing strategic planning sessions to transition the Department to customer service.
Grievances also dropped from 11 to 1 and 83 out of 124 positions were filled.
• In order to achieve our departmental goal of providing timely construction and
consultant contract procurement, our Contracting section grew from one to six
support staff positions last fiscal year. We completed recruitment and filled four new
positions with one position still pending.
• Personnel section received a new Clerk II position due to the department's growth in
human resources. We completed recruitment and filled this new position.

BUILDING
Program Description
The Building Division provides four basic services for the County of Hawaii. The first
involves the administration and enforcement of building, plumbing, and electrical codes.
In addition to these codes the division also enforces the sign ordinance, energy efficiency
standards, and the outdoor lighting ordinance. The Building Inspection Section performs
residential and commercial plan reviews for all building, electrical, and plumbing permit
applications and reviews these documents for compliance to current applicable codes. In
the past, the Kona Office was more of a satellite office and services were limited,
however, with the increase in building permit activity the staff and services offered has
improved.
The second service provided by the Building Division includes janitorial and/or grounds
maintenance at the County Building, Aupuni Center, South Hilo Baseyard (Department
of Public Works), Lagoon Center, the Old Hilo Hospital, and the Kona Services Center in
Kailua. For the County Building, Aupuni Center, and Lagoon Center interoffice mail
pick-up service is also provided.
The third basic service is in-house building maintenance services provided through the
Division's maintenance shop. Two shops (Hilo and Captain Cook) perform most of the
routine carpentry, electrical, painting, and plumbing work needed to keep facilities
functional. This staff also assists the Highway Maintenance Division with the repair of
timber bridges. It is through the Building Repair and Maintenance budget that the
following services are budgeted and paid for:
• Telephone maintenance fees and line charges for some Hilo and Kona offices.
• Repairs to existing facilities under maintenance schedule for all County facilities
under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works.
• Utility bills, which include water, gas, sewer and electricity for various County
facilities Island-wide.
• Rental of Land, building and offices.
• Insurance for County facilities.
The fourth service is provided by the design and engineering unit, which oversees the
planning, design, bidding, and construction management of County facilities. This section
also coordinates work performed by the Building Repair and Maintenance Shop.
The Division is now tasked with performing janitorial and grounds maintenance for
county owned facilities in both East and West Hawaii.

Program Objectives
1. Complete the plan review of 90 % of residential permits within 10 working days.
2. Complete 90 % of requested inspections within 4 working days.
3. Schedule and complete 90 % of routine (non-critical) maintenance and repair requests
within 30 calendar days of receipt of request.
4. Adoption of the 2006 International Building Code and the 2006 International
Residential Code as amended by the State Building Code Council under the
jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii, Department of Accounting and General Services.
Program Highlights
The earthquake of October 15, 2006 presented the Building Division with new
challenges. It was a first in Building Division history that the entire office closed for one
week to perform Rapid Safety Evaluation of individual residential structures damaged by
the earthquake. The Building Division issued approximately 67 red tags for structures
that were unsafe to occupy; 227 yellow tags for structures with restricted use; and 1,404
green tags for structures with minor damage. This incident highlighted the dedication and
team spirit found in the Building Division.
The Hilo and Kona Building Division offices are almost fully staffed. This means that
the personnel for both sides of the Island are equal in size and have the ability to perform
permit processing and inspections. Presently, the Hilo office issues permits for the entire
island while the Kona office only processes permits for West Hawaii. The Building
Division is looking into having both the Hilo and Kona offices issue permits for the entire
island.
There was a decrease in permit issuance from the previous year, although the number of
permits issued is still significantly higher than past years. The number of building
permits issued is down 9%; while building valuation is down 12%; and fees are down
18%.

Program Highlights
Construction of the Palani Road/Kealakaa Traffic Signal Improvements and Hilo Road
Improvements using FHWA funding.
Construction of the Keanalehu-Manawalea Connector Road through a joint agreement
with the Department of Hawaiian Homes.
Continuing to update and improve our Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) and expand
our Flood Plan Management Program. The cost to improve our FIRMs should be a
regular part of the Division's operating budget. This concept has the support of mayor
Kim.
Completed proposed draft to revise Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentations Control and
adopt updated Erosion & Sedimentation Control Manual.
Capital improvement project (C.I.P.) activities include completion of 5 construction
projects valued at $17.5 million, 15 projects are under construction and are valued at
$26.9 million, and the administration of 15 consultant contracts valued at $7.0 million.
Our surveying section has completed 55 survey projects including surveys for court
mandated ADA Curb Ramp Compliance Program and assisted in numerous land
acquisitions for project construction.
To complete the engineering flood study for the Puna District, Oceanit has been
contracted at a cost of $261,850. Additional Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) work
was added. The total cost of the project is currently $560,100. Because LIDAR requires
relatively clear weather, additional cost is expected to cover excess aircraft and
technician stand-by time. This is an unanticipated cost and will require a supplementary
contract with Airborne 1. Future contracts should include an appropriate provision to
address this possibility.
The County had also entered into a new memorandum of agreement with the Army Corps
of Engineers (ACOE) to do a FEMA flood study for South Kona under their Flood Plain
Management Services Program. This is the first time the County is providing the
majority of funding under this ACOE program. The Countywill be funding the cost of
the LIDAR work ($638,000) and the Army Corps will be managing the effort and
providing the engineering services ($200,000). In the past, the Army's $200,000 had
covered all costs, which severely restricted the amount of work that could be done.

Ka'u district.
c) Explore dedication of County lands for agriculture research facility development.
d) Enhance the agriculture section of the County website to provide available
information that enables current and potential farmers to make sound business and
marketing decisions.
Program Highlights
In Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the Agriculture Program supported seven (7) promotion and
market development projects, nine (9) agricultural information and education programs,
and two (2) agricultural research projects. A total of $132,623 supplemental grants were
awarded for these projects of which every County dollar was matched with $4.10 in
State, Federal and/or private sector funds.
The seven industry-initiated promotion and market development projects included
production of promotional materials and product exhibits at trade shows and fairs,
participation in those shows and food sampling. The $46,415 provided by the County for
these projects was leveraged with $116,900 in private funds and $48,700 in State and/or
Federal funds.
The 2006 annual MIDPAC Horticultural trade show in Hilo produced by the Hawaii
Export Nursery Association included a farm tour that provided opportunities for buyers to
visit farms and meet with the growers. The personal connection between buyer and
growers has proved effective in establishing loyal customers for island-grown products
and is a major reason for the industry's 15% per year increase in production.
The Hilo Orchid Society Show & Sale is another local program that creates loyal
customers. This show provides the community an opportunity to learn about orchids and
most importantly, to purchase new varieties of orchids that are not available in local retail
stores. Attendance of about 5,000 increases every year.
On the west side of the island, the New Waves of NELHA event, a combination of
aquaculture farm tours and food sampling, promotes products grown at NELHA and
other local farms. It attracted at least 10 food and life style writers including TV
production companies, which provided broad media coverage. A special feature of this
event is the involvement of the culinary students from the Hawaii Community College at
West Hawaii Campus. These budding chefs have gained experience in preparing locally
grown products. Hopefully, they will continue to use local products when they become
professional chefs thus becoming future advocates for locally produced products.

Nine (9) educational projects received funding from the Agricultural Program in FY
2006-2007. These included conferences, workshops and educational displays. The
County provided $74,208, $175,488 came from private sources and State and/or Federal
governments provided $40,353.
One of the conferences that attracted both international and national attention was the
bamboo conference held in Hilo on November 2006. There is a growing interest on the
island for bamboo as sustainable building material as it is very sturdy, fast growing, and
can be cultivated on marginal lands. The participation of Mr. Oscar Hidalgo who is the
grand master of bamboo and considered a "living treasure" drew both local residents and
visitors to the conference. The 116 registered participants from 30 foreign countries
included bamboo growers, farmers, crafters, architects, builders, manufacturers and
bamboo enthusiasts. The conference offered educational sessions, workshops and
agricultural tours that focused on bamboo production and marketing.
One of the key elements in insuring agriculture's continued existence is to have adequate
supply of farmers. Unfortunately, being a farmer does not have much of an appeal to
younger generation. To counter this, the UH-Hilo's College of Agriculture, Forestry &
Natural Resources Management, in cooperation with the Colleges of Hawaiian Studies
and Arts & Sciences and Waiakea High School, initiated an innovative educational
approach consisting of a hands-on series of courses leading to a new certificate in taro
cultivation. High School students taking the courses will receive both college and high
school credits. The first course in this program started in June with seven students.
Another sponsored educational program that has stirred much interest was the
biointensive farming workshop. Biointensive farming techniques reportedly produce 2-6
times the yield per unit of area compared with standard farming practices; reduce the
usage of water, inorganic fertilizer and. The workshop attracted 195 people of which
85% were from the Big Island and the rest were from the neighbor islands. With the high
price of oil coupled with unpredictable weather patterns, this farming technique has
potential to contribute to the goal of food self-sufficiency for the island.

AGRICULTURE
Program Highlights (continued)
To foster cooperation by the landowners in the conservation of wetland and wildlife on
agricultural lands, funding was provided to educate farmers and ranchers about the
benefits of the newly initiated Safe Harbor Agreement (SHA) program. The SHA
program facilitates proactive conservation efforts by private landowners while providing
them certainty that future land use requirements under the Endangered Species Act will
not be imposed if such conservation efforts attract endangered Hawaiian animals to their
agricultural lands. This program promotes cooperation over confrontation.
Dwindling State and Federal funds for agriculture marketing and research have caused
various groups in the floriculture and nursery industry to work together to address the
economic viability and sustainability of the entire industry. Funding was provided to
facilitate the organization of Hawaii Floriculture Council, a statewide umbrella
organization of floral and nursery associations. This is the first ever attempt at unifying
the floral and nursery associations under a single umbrella organization.

Two research projects were awarded supplemental funding in FY 2006-2007: a
computer-based interactive program to estimate cost of production for anthurium and a
research project to improve rooted cuttings technology for rainbow and other papaya
cultivars. A total of $12,000 in County funds was leveraged with $17,000 in private
sector funds and $145,500 in State and/or Federal funds.
301
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
AGRICULTURE
Program Highlights (continued)
Hawai'i's farmers are facing with increased market competition with the onset of
globalization. It is of at most importance that they will stay competitive to remain in the
market. To this end, funding was provided to the University of Hawaii-Hilo to develop
interactive computerized software that provides an accurate method of estimating cost of
production of their individual farm operations. Farmers can use this tool for planning and
management decisions relating to their farm operation. Although the software was
developed for anthurium production, it can be readily modified to other types of farming
operations.
The current practice of using seeds to produce papaya plant materials is wasteful in terms
of both resources and labor. Funding was provided to improve rooted cutting technology
that provides papaya plant materials as an alternative to seeds. In addition to improving
efficiency, the quality of the fruits produced from rooted cuttings is superior to that
produced from seeds.
Research awards for FY2006-2007 included:
Interactive Cost of Production University of Hawaii-Hilo $7,000
Rooting of Field-grown Papaya Hawaii Agriculture Research 5,000
Cutting Center
The Agriculture Program continues to provide leadership, supportive coordination and
serve as a clearinghouse for the many agriculture commodities and individuals on the
island. In Fiscal Year 2006-2007, 1,500 inquiries were received of which 750 were for
specific agricultural information and technical advice.

Program Highlights
In fiscal year 2006-07, the County of Hawaii Tourism Program continued its long-term
partnership with the Hawaii Island Visitors Bureau (HIVB), to market the island as a
premiere visitor destination. This partnership allowed for public funds to be substantially
leveraged with private sector funds to provide advertising in major travel magazines,
conduct media blitz in feeder markets to Hawaii Island, host travel writers for
familiarization tours, and host trade shows and seminars for travel agents and other
tourism industry representatives. Focused promotional targets included corporate
meetings and incentives planners, group sales agents and independent visitors from select
mainland US, European and Asian markets. Additionally, the County Council provided
supplemental funding to expand marketing and promotional efforts to sports enthusiasts
and the Japanese market.
The Tourism Program received $500,000 in 2006 for the County Product Enrichment
Program (CPEP) from the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), to support the
diversification and enrichment of the island's tourism product. This funding source
allowed a total of thirty-five (35) festivals, events and programs to take place. Additional
funds for Other Product Development amounting to $125,000 were provided by HTA in
2006 and were used to support five (5) visitor-related programs. Funds from the County
of Hawaii supported fifteen (15) visitor-related programs in 2006-07. The County
Council also provided supplemental funding for ten (10) community-based festivals and
events that attracted both visitors and resident alike.
307
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
TOURISM
Program Highlights (continued)
The CPEP on-island marketing project continued to deliver monthly newspaper
advertisements; a direct mailing of posters and flyers to visitor attractions, B&Bs and
other destinations; and a full-color brochure listing CPEP festivals, events and programs
which was distributed in rack-card outlets island-wide (airports, restaurants, visitor
attractions, etc.). In partnership with the HIVB the Tourism Program also provided
updates to the island-wide calendar of events, which was distributed electronically bi-
monthly to both pre-arrival and post-arrival visitors and maintained on the web at
www.bigisland.org.
The Tourism Program continued to play an active role in supporting HTA's goal to
facilitate interaction among all visitor industry stakeholders to improve communication
and enhance understanding of roles, values and concerns. This was accomplished by
assisting HTA with outreach to stakeholders in convening meetings and educational
forums such as the Festivals and Events Seminar, which featured nationally recognized
event planners, as well as specific training sessions in April and July on conducting
participant surveys and assessing data gathered and preparing for the grant writing
process.
HTA provided funding for three (3) new tourism related projects which began in 2006-
07: the Airport Greetings Program, which provides musical entertainment and dancers at
both island airports; planning funds for the Hilo Bayfront Trails Project to create a multi-
use path from Hilo's cruise ship terminal to the Wailuku River in Downtown Hilo; and
the Waipio Ranger Pilot Program that provides rangers to enhance visitors understanding
and experiences at the Waipio Scenic Lookout and protect cultural and natural resources
within the Waipio Valley. The latter two projects are being led by the Hawai'i County
Resource Center.
The Tourism Program is now guided by The Hawai `i Island Tourism Strategic Plan:
2006-2015 (Hawai`i Island TSP) which was completed in December 2006 and reflects
the desires and input of Hawaii Island tourism stakeholders including: residents, state
and county representatives, and individuals in both public and private sectors. The
Hawaii Island TSP Advisory Committee helped to oversee the planning process and its
members represent a broad range of tourism stakeholders from communities throughout
the island.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
TOURISM
Program Highlights (continued)
Throughout the planning process, ensuring a high quality of life for residents was a key
issue. The county and its residents strongly believe that if Hawaii Island is a good place
to live, it will also be a good place for people to visit. As a major industry affecting the
island, the visitor industry is also expected to contribute positively to the quality of life
for residents. This balanced and sustainable approach is reflected in Hawaii Island's
vision for tourism which will:
• Honor the people and heritage of Hawaii Island;
• Support and enhance the quality of life for residents;
• Value and perpetuate the natural and cultural resources of Hawaii Island;
• Engender mutual respect and partnership among all stakeholders, including future
generations;
• Support a vital and sustainable economy; and
• Provide a unique, memorable and enriching visitor experience.
Efforts continued to develop and refine the Tourism Program. This included
standardization of contractual procedures for CPEP and COH R&D awards, and
expanded outreach to stakeholders regarding educational workshops and other funding
opportunities. The outcomes have resulted in a significant increase in participation in
training programs and an increased number of grant applications and contract awards.
The Department of Research and Development also hired a full-time Tourism Specialist
in November 2006 to implement the Tourism Program, providing more detailed and
timely follow up to the visitor industry.

Program Description
The Energy Program participates in State and utility energy planning and regulatory
programs, maintains the County's energy emergency preparedness program, and
implements a comprehensive energy efficiency and renewable energy program for the
County of Hawaii.
Program Objectives
1. Represent the interests of Hawai'i County in HELCO's Integrated Resource Planning
process, in PUC dockets, at the Hawai'i State legislature, at the Natural Energy Lab
of Hawaii Authority and the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum.
2. Maintain County energy emergency preparedness plans consistent with those of the
State of Hawaii.
3. Assist Hawaii County Civil defense during energy emergencies and attend meetings
of the Governor's Energy Emergency Preparedness Advisory Council and the Hawaii
State Energy Council.
4. Monitor energy savings resulting from retrofits carried out by performance contracts
at the Hilo Public Safety Building and Kona Police Station.
5. Coordinate with the Department of Public Works to ensure LEED certification and to
installation of a solar energy system on the West Hawai'i Civic Center.
6. Commence implementation of the County of Hawaii Energy Sustainability Plan.
An initial step will be to initiate the County of Hawaii "Lead By Example"
recommendations, which includes: transitioning the County vehicle fleet to more
fuel-efficient vehicles; updating the Model Energy Code portion of the County
building code; and installing solar energy systems on all County facilities including
those of the Department of Water Supply where applicable. Implementation will also
include developing support for Plan implementation through stakeholder meetings.
Targeted groups will include government agencies, non-profits, and the public sector.

Program Highlights
Hawaii County Energy Sustainability Plan
In 2006, the Hawaii County Council passed a resolution and set aside $90,000 in funding
to develop the Hawaii County Energy Sustainability Plan. As a result, the County hired
the Kohala Center to bring in a team of students from Yale University t work off an
earlier energy baseline study to develop the Plan. The Yale team came to Hawaii County
in March 2007 and conducted interviews and data gathering. The draft Plan was
completed and reported to the public in May 2007. The final Plan is due in April 2008.
The goal of the Plan is to provide a roadmap to the County to transition from fossil fuel
dependency to greater efficiency and renewable energy. The County seeks to minimize
energy use to the greatest extent possible and to meet remaining demand with energy
generated from locally generated renewable resources.
As part of this effort, the Island energy system was examined holistically, including
electricity generation and transportation fuel use, with the goal of identifying lowest cost,
technologically feasible opportunities that can be employed in the near term.
Identified energy efficiency improvements included measures to improve buildings,
transportation, and water use. Renewable generation categories included the use of
electricity in transportation, distributed generation solar technologies, and large scale
electricity production options for HELCO such as geothermal power, wind farms, and
pumped storage hydro.
Model Energy Code
One recommendation of the draft Energy Sustainability Plan is to update Energy Code
section of the County Building Code. Last year, final recommendations were made
through the Kona Community Development Plan process to update the energy code, but
those recommendations are still pending.
Kona Community Development Plan
The Kona Community Development Plan - Energy Working Group completed its energy
goals for the District of Kona, including updating the Model Energy Code. These goals
are receiving a final vetting from the Planning Department.

HELCO Integrated Resource Planning
HELCO completed its Integrated Resource Planning process (IRP - 3). HELCO
submitted its Preferred Plan to the PUC for approval. The Plan was selected from four
potential plans for electric generation over the next 20-years. The County of Hawaii
endorsed all 13-action items of the Plan but recommended HELCO consider retirements
of two fossil fuel plants and forego use of biofuels in older inefficient plants.
HELCO Rate Increase
The PUC granted HELCO an interim rate increase of 7.58% in April 2007. HELCO
originally filed a rate increase docket requesting a 9% increase, representing
approximately $30 million in additional electricity costs to Hawaii County consumers.
The Mayor of Hawaii County voiced support for the rate increase.
Geothermal Direct Use Grant
The County completed its report for the $95,602 Grant from DBEDT/U.S. Department of
Energy for the analysis of Geothermal Direct Use (GDU). The purpose of the grant was
to conduct a feasibility study for viable commercial geothermal enterprises in the Kapoho
region of Puna. The contractor selected for the work was Okahara & Associates. The
study experienced a setback when the anticipated source of heat for the proposed
Enterprise Park, waste heat from Puna Geothermal Ventures, became no longer available.
PGV decided to use the waste heat for additional electric generation. The County of
Hawaii delivered the final Geothermal Direct Use report in February 2007 to the State of
Hawaii. The final conclusion of the report was that Geothermal Direct Use is presently
not economically feasible.
NELHA
The Energy Coordinator (EC) attended a number of meetings related to the Natural
Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA). hi addition to participating in Board
meetings, the EC participated in working group meetings to evaluate Ocean Thermal
Energy Conversion (OTEC) and solar energy proposals for the NELHA property. To
date, no agreements have come to fruition. The NELHA Board has directed the Executive
Director to issue a request for proposal for renewable energy. It is still undecided whether
the scope of the solicitation should include all renewable energy or just OTEC.

acre site is planned to have 66,000 square feet of interior space at a projected cost of $44
million. The facility will be Silver LEED certified. Urban Works of Honolulu was hired
to create the conceptual design and help issue the RFPIRFQ for actual design-
construction.
County Building Construction and Energy Retrofits
The Honeywell energy performance contract for the County of Hawaii ended after almost
10-years. The final savings report was received from Honeywell in March 2007 showing
total accumulated savings over the contract term of $779,566, far exceeding the savings
guarantee of $571,570. In analyzing the performance of the contract, it appears the
contract achieved its original intent of energy savings paying for the equipment retrofits
and maintenance fees.
The Honeywell energy performance contract for the Hilo Public Safety Building and
Kona Police Department is in its 6th year. The accumulated savings through the last
reporting (April 2007) were $1,139,953 exceeding the savings guarantee. Like the
County Building contract, this performance contract has met its objectives of covering
the lease payments and maintenance fees out of energy savings.

Program Highlights
• For the fiscal year July, 2006 through June, 2007, there were a total of 113
productions, down from 134 last year. (There were 100 total productions in 2004-
2005).Total revenue this year was $3,376,690 compared to $4,500,000 last year. Not
counting the US, there were 8 countries represented this year, down from 12 last year.
(There were 8 counties represented in 2004-2005.) Countries filming on Hawai'i
Island this year, and the respective number of productions, included: Japan, with 43
productions, the UK with 7, Canada with 3, New Zealand with 1, Germany with 2,
Australia with 2, Austria with 1, and the Netherlands with 1. Of the 113 productions,
51 or 47% came from the US, and 62 or 54% came from non-US countries. 38% of
all production came from Japan, while 15% came from other countries. These
percentages are almost identical to last year. Production activity was heaviest in these
categories: Documentary/Education/News with 35 total productions, Print with 30,
and TV Episodes with 22. As percentages of overall production, the numbers are
31%, 27%, and 19% respectively. In terms of revenue, these categories brought in the
most dollars: TV Commercials with 27%, TV Episodes with 22%, and Print with
19% of total revenue. Compared to last year, Documentary had 34% of the total
number of productions, and accounted for 16% of total revenue, and TV Episodes and
Print both had 19% of total production, and 24% of total revenue
• The State is experiencing a boom in feature film activity. Dreamworks' "Tropic
Thunder" filmed on Kauai, Universal's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" filmed on
Oahu, parts of Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean-at World's End" filmed on Maui,
and several weeks of Paramount's "Indiana Jones--4" shot on The Big Island. An
undeniable common factor responsible for getting these productions to Hawai'i is Act
88. The State Film Commissioner has called this legislation "absolutely critical" in
making the State more competitive, and producer Frank Marshall of "Indiana Jones"
said in a Hilo press conference in July that the tax program "tipped the balance" in
making the decision to come to Hawai'i Island. The Hawai'i Island budget for
"Indiana Jones" was in the $15-17 million range. A total of 27 productions that are
expected to spend $127 million have applied for the tax credits since the program
went into effect in July, 2006. Two of these will come from production on Hawai'i
Island.
