The <br /> purpose of this measure is to amend the Ordinance's attachment noted as Exhibit A, Draft 3 by replacing it <br /> with a new exhibit labelled as Exhibit A, Draft 4. <br /> <br /> This amendment to the exhibit is to adjust funding for various projects based on actual needs that differ from <br /> the original estimates in the bond ordinance and subsequent amendment. ADA projects to fulfill mandates <br /> are ongoing and require additional funding. Additional funds are needed for the current phase of the <br /> Naalehu/Pahala LCC Replacement. Repairs and improvements to County facilities maintained by Parks and <br /> Recreation and Public Works departments are also ongoing and require additional funding. Additionally, five <br /> projects are added to this authorization to address legal mandates and correct major deficiencies or meet <br /> critical public safety needs. <br /> Funds to meet these additional needs were made available by eliminating or reducing funding at this time for <br /> the Fire Administration Complex, Makalei Fire Station, and for Lako Street Extension project. The County <br /> does not currently have adequate funds to initiate construction of the Fire facility, federal funds have been <br /> obtained for a portion of the Makalei Fire Station project and the Lako Street project is not ready to move <br /> forward at this time. There is no change to the total amount of the bond authorization. <br /> <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 961-8234. <br /> <br /> <br /> Nancy E. rawford <br /> Director of Finance <br /> Enc. <br /> <br /> Approved: <br /> <br /> Cornnt.
