At the Council meeting held on August 18, 2010, the Council adopted Resolution No. 321 -10, Draft 2. The resolution authorizes the Hawai`i County Council the option to designate a portion of the District's fuel tax allocation to be utilized for a grant -in -aid program for non - profit organizations for the purpose of road maintenance for private streets and roadways. Resolution No. 321 -10 also authorizes the formation of an ad hoc committee to set forth the process, general criteria, and qualifications of the grant -in -aid program. State Representative Faye P. Hanohano introduced House Bill 1626, which permits the County of Hawai`i to appropriate the county's share of fuel tax revenue for the maintenance of substandard private subdivision roads that are used by the public. This bill provides that neither the State nor the County shall be required to install infrastructure improvements if the roads are thereafter sold to a private entity. (Attached please find a copy of the measure in its current form.) By way of this communication, I am requesting that this communication be placed on the October 19, 2011 Council agenda for the formation of the ad hoc committee relating to Resolution No. 321 -10, Draft 2 as adopted.
