Arakaki Chairperson Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Dear Chairperson Arakaki: Richard Wurdeman Corporation Counsel Re: Submittal of Resolution Authorizing the Office of the Mayor to Enter Into Negotiated Agreement for Services GOCY 96-08-05 With the Department of Human Services State of Hawaii for Child Care Coordinator Services The attached resolution concerns the provision of $57,000.00 in federal grant funding received from the Department of Human Services, State of Hawaii, for a Child Care Development Coordinator position under the supervision of the Office of the Mayor, in cooperation with the Mayor's Advisory Committee on Children and Youth. During the previous two fiscal years, the County Council has passed appropriation ordinances which amended the operating budget to include funding for this program. See ordinance numbers 96-91 and 97-124. However, no such appropriation ordinance has yet been passed by the council appropriating the $57,000.00 for this fiscal year and the current operating budget, as reflected by Ordinance No. 98-49, does not include this amount under the Child Care Development Miscellaneous Contract Services account. Hawaii Revised Statutes, §46-7, requires that county departments obtain the consent of the council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting action to be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend, and receive any funds or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those powers. Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to Negotiated Agreement for Services GOCY 96-08-05 cannot be approved as to form and legality by our office until the Office of the Mayor receives the consent of the County Council to enter into Negotiated Agreement for Services GOCY 96-08-05. In compliance with and pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes, §46-7, we respectfully request that the above -referenced resolution be placed on the agenda and considered by the County Council at the earliest possible convenience.
