REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> DATE: August 19, 1997 Re: Comm. No. 433/Res. No. 139 <br /> PLACE: Councilroom <br /> TIME: 10:55 A.M. <br /> Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 139, reports as follows: <br /> Resolution No. 139, transmitted by Finance Director Harry Takahashi, via Communication <br /> No. 433, dated August 4, ] 997, deletes a Power Shovel Operator position and creates two (2) <br /> Laborer II positions. <br /> The deletion of Position No. 1 111, Power Shovel Operator, is necessary as the position has been <br /> vacant for many years due to the unavailability of power shovel equipment. <br /> Currently, the increase of 53 miles in the Puna district has caused the resurfacing of highways to <br /> be done by the County and not contracted out. With the addition of two Laborer lI positions to <br /> <br /> maintain, clean and assist in repairing highways, building walls and other concrete structures, <br /> digging ditches, and responding to emergencies in cleaning debris from highways and <br /> <br /> drainageways, duties can be done by County employees in a more timely fashion. <br /> Pursuant to Article V, Section 5-1.3(c) of the Hawaii County Charter states that the Mayor has <br /> <br /> the power to create positions for which appropriations have been made by the council and <br /> <br /> abolish positions with the consent of the council. <br /> <br /> There are sufficient funds in the Puna Road District Regular Salaries and Wages account to cover <br /> <br /> the cost of the additional positions. <br /> <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 139 and <br /> <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> Ikc <br /> Ayes Noes A&E Ea <br /> CHUNG X Respectfully submitted <br /> LEITHEAD-TOOn X COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> RAY X ~ <br /> SANTANGELO X ~ ~,'t <br /> SMITH X "'t-~~ <br /> TYLER X AARON S.Y.
