Dear Chairman Yoshimoto and Council Members:
As required by the Hawai`i County Charter, the amended operating budget proposal for the
County of Hawaii for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 is hereby submitted. This balanced
budget includes estimated revenues and appropriations of$394,318,524 and includes the
operations of eleven of the County's special funds as well as the General Fund. This budget is
$8,886,474 less than the budget in effect when this administration began in 2008.
Overview
I would like to thank each of the members of the Hawai`i County Council for your support and
assistance in formulating a budget to maintain core county services in the year ahead. Our first
obligation is always to properly protect our residents, deliver services to the elderly and the
needy, provide for positive recreational opportunities for our children and provide an array of
other essential services to our growing community. We are proud of our record in fulfilling these
obligations despite unprecedented challenges during the past four years. We are determined to
again meet our obligations to our residents in the year ahead, and to position our county to serve
the growing needs of our communities in the future.
This budget proposal is the culmination of the very challenging years that have become known
as the Great Recession. During the years that followed the economic turmoil of 2007 and 2008,
our county tax collections declined and this county was forced to engage in an unprecedented
series of budget reductions. County tax collections declined from$225.9 million in the year
we took office to $198.3 million in the current year,which placed enormous strains on county
government. This administration responded by cutting the county budget for four consecutive
years, from$403 million when this administration began to $365 million in the current
budget year.This required that county government become more efficient in order to maintain
core services to the public. We witnessed an extraordinary effort by our county employees, who
managed to maintain core services for our community despite a shrinking budget.

Many more challenges lie ahead. We are emerging from this very difficult economic period with
about 200 fewer workers on the county payroll than when this administration took office.
However, the public worker furloughs that temporarily reduced salaries and wages to balance the
budget in recent years will soon end. A series of new collective bargaining agreements have been
negotiated on behalf of the state and the counties that will increase salary and wage costs. At the
same time, expenses such as fuel, electricity, retirement and health care continue to increase.
Our departments in recent weeks have made it clear we now face deep cuts in core,
essential services such as transit, parks and environmental management. This council
urged us to take immediate action to prevent this, and we are addressing those concerns
with this amended budget.
Addressing Community Needs
As our community grows, the needs of our residents also grow. Our police must have additional
officers to protect public safety and to assure acceptable response times in rapidly growing rural
communities such as Puna and Ka`u. Our firefighters need additional resources and equipment to
prepare them for the challenges of serving growing communities and the increasing demands of
an expanding population. Demand for park space for our youth and our growing population is at
an all-time high, which means the need for efficient park maintenance services is equally
pressing. We are proud that the ridership on our Hele-On Bus system has steadily increased to
record levels,but the skeleton staff of mechanics and support personnel that keeps our transit
system running is now stretched to the limit.
These pressing needs cannot be addressed with another year of budget reductions. Therefore, this
budget proposal seeks to build on the efficiencies that we have achieved during the past four
years of budget cuts, and strategically invest resources into areas where our residents are now
demanding improvement and innovation.
We will make these investments to better serve our communities while keeping the cost of
government lower than it was at the start of this administration. We will collect less in
property taxes next year than this county collected when we first took office four years ago.

Additional Police Officers
Police presence in the communities of Puna and Ka`u has lagged behind the overall
population growth in those communities. Growing populations in these communities have
resulted in dramatic increases in calls for police assistance from the public. The Puna district
alone encompasses 686 square miles, and residents and visitors made nearly 29,000 calls for
service to police in 2012. Dispatchers prioritize calls in the interest of public safety, and the large
distances our officers must patrol at times results in long response times for non-emergency
calls. If this shortage of officers is allowed to continue, it could pose an unacceptable risk to
public safety.
This budget proposes to add five police officers in Puna and another five officers in Ka`u at
a total cost of$588,688 for the coming fiscal year to address this issue. This proposed budget
would also include $302,000 for police computer replacements to improve efficiency, and
$158,884 in new funding for maintenance including investment in video surveillance cameras to
protect public safety.
Fire and Ocean Safety
Additions to the Hawaii Fire Department budget will advance our efforts to improve fire
staffing levels and modernize the equipment used by our first responders. That includes
$168,000 for new front-line fire-pumper trucks for fire stations in Honoka`a and Kea'au. The
replacement of both vehicles is a pressing need.
Also included in this budget request is funding for 12 new firefighters for the next fire
recruit training class to fill longstanding vacancies within the department.The additional
personnel will allow the department to reduce overtime costs, and will also make more
manpower available for large incidents such as brushfires and natural disasters.
We are requesting$83,000 for salaries for two additional water safety officers at Punalu`u
Beach Park in Ka`u. Currently this park is staffed with one water safety officer who works
weekdays. The additional staff will significantly improve public safety at this increasingly busy
ocean recreation area by ensuring an officer will be on duty each day, seven days a week.
The proposed budget also includes $300,000 for six new ocean safety towers to better
protect both residents and visitors in our beach parks. The existing, aging wooden lifeguard
towers were designed for a single water safety officer, but the current county system now calls
for two lifeguards to be on site at many tower locations. The new towers will provide better work
space for our officers, and improve visibility to increase public safety.

Transit Improvements
Our expanding public transit system provided a record 1.2 million rides island-wide last year.
However, as more passengers ride, they require more service, which increases driver,
maintenance and other costs. Our transit system has outgrown its existing staff.
Our Hele-On Bus system now has a fleet of 55 buses, and our transit system serves increasing
numbers of riders in an area much larger than any other county. Our system now requires
additional investment. This budget fortifies our Mass Transit Agency by adding$143,244 to
fund an additional mechanic, a mechanic helper, and two clerks. This budget also increases
funding for fuel and lubricants, and adds $122,170 to support a new Waikoloa shuttle route.
Our proposed staff additions will help address a backlog of vehicle maintenance that will
make more vehicles available to enhance service, and will help the Mass Transit Agency
keep pace with the ever-growing demands of increased ridership. These changes will allow
us to continue to expand our Hele-On Bus service, including the new shuttle route to Waikoloa
and the recently added service to Hawaiian Paradise Park.
We are proposing a bus fare increase from the current $1 per ride to $2 per ride for most
passengers to raise an additional $637,500 in the year ahead. Fares for senior citizens, the
disabled and students will be$1 per ride, and children under the age of 5 will continue to ride
free. This continues to be an excellent value for our riders, since our projections show that our
bus service will cost the county an average of more than $6.50 per ride in the year ahead. At a
time when gasoline prices are at near-record levels, our Hele-On system continues to provide one
of the most affordable transportation options in the state. We believe it is fair and appropriate to
ask our Hele-On riders to contribute as we expand and improve their service.
Enhancing Information Technology
Information technology has the power to transform the way residents interact with their county
government, allowing more people to access more services online such as bill paying, permitting,
and reservations for licensing and other services. Our residents expect and demand that their
government keep pace with the times by investing in information technology that makes it easier
and more efficient for our citizens to do business with our county.
Building these systems requires a robust, resilient infrastructure, but our county's current
information technology network is underpowered and overextended. Our IT infrastructure
is in need of immediate investment.
This budget includes $300,000 for critically needed new network equipment. The current design
of the county's network leaves it vulnerable to failure if just one or two pieces of legacy
equipment fail. A redesigned network using modern equipment will increase the capacity,
reliability, and speed of the network, which carries data ranging from everyday email to
telephone calls to video conferencing in times of disaster.

Aging computers have also become a drag on worker productivity. Hundreds of the county's
computers rely on software that is so old that the manufacturer warns it will cease support of the
obsolete operating system in April 2014, leaving those computers potentially vulnerable to cyber
security threats. To keep our computer systems current and safe, we have budgeted $300,000
to lease 1,000 new computers to replace outdated, legacy equipment.
We are proud that our dedicated IT staff of 17 employees has kept our systems running with a
bare-bones budget of$1.6 million, but our staffing levels are now far below national standards.
National research shows a local government our size would be expected to have 93 employees in
information technology, with a budget of$13.1 million.
Each of our existing IT personnel is responsible for supporting 152 employees, and we must
provide them with additional support. We are proposing to add three new positions at a cost of
$182,000, and are budgeting$28,000 for training to better equip our staff with the skills they
need to keep pace with industry innovations.
We believe this is the time to overhaul and expand our information technology capacity to
position ourselves to deliver the services that our growing community requires. We cannot delay
these investments any longer.
Parks & Recreation
The Department of Parks & Recreation has overseen more than 60 construction projects
during this administration while doing an outstanding job maintaining our park facilities
and providing recreational services to our youth and seniors within our budgetary
limitations. This proposed budget enhances the department's capacity to maintain our growing
portfolio of parks and facilities, and at the same time fulfill the ever-growing recreational
demands of our community.
Seven new staff will be added to support operations, ranging from a new pool lifeguard to
additional staff to work with our seniors. Parks positions that will be added or are being
refunded after being left vacant in recent years are in Aquatics, Coordinated Services for the
Elderly, Culture &the Arts, Ho`olulu Complex, Administration, Parks Maintenance and
Recreation.
The parks maintenance fleet will be enhanced in this budget, with $455,000 allotted for two
pickup trucks with dumpers, a bucket truck, mini excavator,backhoe, tractor, and refuse truck.
These tools will allow our maintenance crews to more efficiently maintain our parks and
facilities, which are being used by more and more of our island families.
The popular Waipi`o Ranger Program, which was first initiated in 2007, would also be re-
established with$70,000 in this budget. The presence of the rangers will educate valley visitors
about the history and resources of the valley, and provide a presence to enhance public safety.
This budget includes $47,650 in additional support for our Elderly Activities Division to offset
increased expenses including utilities and mileage reimbursements for our senior volunteers.

Investing in a Sustainable Economy
Our administration is committed to investing in agriculture and growing a healthy Hawai`i Island
economy. Investment that creates opportunities in agriculture is ultimately an investment in our
working families and in preserving open space.
This budget funds currently vacant positions in the Department of Research&Development,
including an agriculture specialist and a sustainability specialist at a cost of$120,048. These
positions will be staffed with strong advocates and skilled networkers who will work with their
communities to implement recommendations contained in initiatives such as the county's
Agriculture Development Plan and the Food Self-Sufficiency Baseline Study.
This budget also advances our commitment to a sustainable future through a proposed $346,000
investment in agriculture support and development. These funds will be used to help grow the
next generation of farmers and create jobs while reducing our dependency on imported foods.
This proposal includes full funding for the six Soil &Water Conservation Districts on our island
to encourage responsible and sustainable agricultural practices to protect our rural ecosystems.
Revenue Adjustments
The proposed budget adjustments described above will fund basic, core services that our
residents deserve and expect. These proposals will allow the county to maintain essential county
services for an expanding population in the face of escalating costs,but the county must have the
necessary tools to meet our obligations to the public.
After four years of budget cuts, our per capita county operating budget today is the lowest
in the state. County property tax collections have declined from $225.9 million in the year we
took office to $198.3 million this year, and we must adjust property tax rates to provide the
services our residents demand. Therefore, this budget incorporates a property tax adjustment that
would allow the county to collect an estimated $219 million in the year ahead. That is nearly $7
million less than the county collected in 2008, when this administration began.
Our proposed tax rate adjustments have been structured to be affordable for every property tax
class. For example,members of the homeowner class would pay on average an additional $8.59
per month under the new rates. Owners of agricultural lands would pay an additional $4.75 per
month on average. These adjustments are affordable for our residents and businesses,but provide
the revenue necessary to deliver essential services to our communities.

Monthly Change to Average Property Tax Bill
Homeowner $8.59
Agriculture $4.75
Conservation -$6.26
Affordable Rental $7.99
Residential $28.49
Apartment $32.93
Commercial $34.79
Industrial $46.74
Hotel &Resort $72.54
These adjustments are broad based because they will fund investments that will benefit our entire
island community. Our proposed increases in police patrol officers in Puna and Ka`u will benefit
those communities, while our investment in mass transit will benefit the entire island. The
Hamakua and Kea'au communities will benefit from new fire equipment, while the recruitment
and training of additional firefighters will enhance public safety for the entire island. Our
residents and visitors will be better able to enjoy our shorelines in greater safety because of the
additional lifeguards and more modern and functional lifeguard towers we have proposed.
Our proposed investment in information technology will better safeguard county data, and will
lead to more modern and enhanced services for our residents.
Significant Changes to March 1, 2013 Revenue Estimates
General Fund
• Fund Balance Carryover — Carryover projections have increased by $1,650,000, which
represents an increase in current year expenditure savings as a result of restrictions on hiring,
travel, equipment and other spending.

fee increase, which will more accurately reflect the cost of issuing vehicle registrations and
provide for improvements to the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Division operations.
• Real Property Tax — Revenue was adjusted to reflect an increase of$18,750,000, resulting
from a proposed adjustment to tax rates to provide necessary revenue to meet core County
responsibilities. The proposed rates are shown in Exhibit A.

Conclusion
Our core county government services must be maintained, and we must now make
strategic investments in critical areas such as police protection, ocean safety, information
technology and our mass transit system. These are appropriate and important areas where the
county should invest resources to improve public safety and public services.
This administration has reduced tax collections and cut spending for four consecutive
years.We appreciate the difficult decisions our departments made in this challenging
environment to reduce costs while still protecting core services, and we are proud of our
administration's record of accomplishment.
These efforts have clearly made county government leaner and more efficient. Our county
government is less expensive today than it was four years ago, and this proposed budget is
$8,886,474 less than the budget in effect when this administration began.
