<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Form B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> <br /> DEPARTMENT: Civil Defense Agency DATE: 6/5/08 <br /> <br /> <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Quince Mento PHONE: 931-0031 <br /> <br /> <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> <br /> To transfer $325,000.00 from Civil Defense OCE (010-241.5241.06.480) to Capital Project Fund. The <br /> installation of generators has been determined a longer project and more appropriate to be done in the <br /> Capital Project Fund. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> <br /> Hawai'i County Civil Defense Agency (HCDA) uses commercial radio stations as the means of relaying <br /> emergency messages to the public. In the aftermath of the Oct. 15 2006 earthquake, most of Hawai'i Island's <br /> radio station went off-air due to an island wide power failure. This event severely handicapped the HCDA's <br /> ability to broadcast earthquake related information to the public. To address this, the HCDA is purchasing <br /> backup generators for our radio stations through Office of Defense Preparedness (ODP) grants. The monies <br /> in Civil Defense's OCE (010-241.5241.06.480) are designated to pay for the installation of these generators. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> SIGNED: DATE: 06/05/08 <br /> epartment Head <br />
