The station's cast-iron Force Main pipe is 55-years <br /> old and at the end of its useful life, requiring the replacement of an approximately 677-foot section. <br /> Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into an intergovernmental <br /> agreement for a State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund Loan(SRF) of$1,500,000 and <br /> authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds for the purpose of financing this improvement <br /> project. <br /> Pursuant to the County Procedures Manual for Participation in the Hawai`i State Revolving Fund <br /> Loan Program, prepared by the Wastewater Branch of the Hawai`i Department of Health in April <br /> 1994, part of the loan application process requires a"resolution or ordinance passed by the County <br /> Council which authorizes the SRF loan application and identifies the dedicated source(s) of revenue <br /> (i.e., general obligation bonds) which will fund the-project and repayment of the loan with interest." <br /> The Council's authorization of the issuance of general obligation bonds will serve as a pledge of its <br /> general obligation authority as security for repayment of the loan and interest. <br /> Time is of the essence in this matter to perform this project. The Department of Environmental <br /> Management therefor requests that this bill be waived from the Finance Committee and be placed <br /> on the February 5, 2019 Council agenda. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call <br /> Robin Bauman of the Department of Environmental Management at 981-8179. <br /> Deanna S.
