Honorable Members of the Hawai`i County Council <br /> February 28, 2013 <br /> Page 7 <br /> Conclusion <br /> Once again, I want to express our deep appreciation for the support and dedication of our <br /> hardworking County employees. Their efforts have allowed us to control the size and cost of <br /> government while delivering essential services and safeguarding public safety in each of our <br /> communities. <br /> We will continue to work closely with our state Legislators to maintain the County of Hawai`i's <br /> share of the Transient Accommodations Tax, which is critically important to maintain our <br /> balanced budget. We also continue to work with our Congressional delegation to secure federal <br /> resources as we work to expand our transportation infrastructure and build important capital <br /> improvement projects. <br /> This proposed budget is the result of many months of cooperation and collaboration between all <br /> of our department heads and county employees. We recognize that this budget represents another <br /> year of difficult choices for our community, and we look forward to working closely with the <br /> County Council as we seek to address both new and continuing demands for public services <br /> while also maintaining a balanced and responsible budget. <br /> Aloha, <br /> r•Xl)Xi 0 r t,,...„ 4 <br /> William P.
