The amendment is as follows: <br /> From: <br /> 010.3303.42 Federal Grants - HCPD Roadblock General $ 32,367 <br /> Program <br /> To: <br /> 010.201.5216.15 HCPD Roadblock Program General $ 32,367 <br /> These funds will be used to increase the number of Driving Under the Influence enforcement arrests <br /> for fiscal year 2013-2014. <br /> Council Member Kanuha spoke in support of Bill No. 125; however, he recommended that the <br /> Finance Department set up a corporate account to help save on baggage fees that might be incurred <br /> by the officers during off-island travel for training. <br /> Police Sergeant Robert Pauole of the Traffic Services Division appeared before Your Committee for <br /> questions. He reported that when making off-island travel arrangements for the officers, he uses a <br /> Gold card or Premier card to help save money on baggage fees, and noted that their travel expense <br /> account usually has an excess of funds leftover for unexpected training and travel expenses. <br /> FC Report No. 92 <br />
