No. 163-09 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> TIME: 10:06a.m. <br /> <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 163-09, reports as follows: <br /> <br /> Resolution No. 163-09, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford, via Communication No. 330, <br /> dated May 6, 2009, creates five (5) new positions in the Traffic Signs and Markings Section of the <br /> Department of Public Works' Traffic Division. These positions include a Lead Traffic Signs and <br /> Markings Painter, two (2) Traffic Signs and Marking Painters, and two (2) Traffic Signs and Marking <br /> Helpers. <br /> <br /> Pursuant to Article V, Section 5-1.3(c) of the Hawaii County Charter the Mayor has the power to create <br /> positions "for which appropriations have been made by the council." <br /> <br /> Councilmember Ford requested an explanation as to why the positions were being created. Traffic <br /> Division Chief Ron Theil stated that this work had been done by contract in the past but the State <br /> Legislature allowed Act 90 to sunset; and under the new rules, there was a spending cap implemented that <br /> will not allow the department to complete the amount of work required. <br /> <br /> Mr. Theil stated that these new positions had no impact on the budget since he would be using the funds <br /> previously used to fund the contracts for the work. <br /> <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 163-09, and <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> <br /> Sao <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> AYES NOES A&E Ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> ENRIQUES X <br /> FORD X CO MITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> GREENWELL X <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> IKEDA X <br /> NAEOLE X <br /> ONISHI X DOMINIC YAGO CH IR <br /> YAGONG X FC REP I,: YOSHIMOTO X ADOPT AN <br /> 0 y?nng <br />
