A DMINISTRATION §2-235
<br />Section 2-235. Use of funds.
<br />(a) Pursuant to sections 46-16.8 and 248-2.6, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, moneys
<br />received from the State derived from the imposition of the surcharge established
<br />under this article will be a general fund realization. Moneys received from the
<br />surcharge shall be expended for:
<br />(1) Operating or capital costs of public transportation within the County for public
<br />systems, including public roadways or highways, public buses, trains, ferries,
<br />pedestrian paths or sidewalks, or bicycle paths;
<br />(2) Expenses in complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 with
<br />respect to paragraph (1);
<br />(3) County-appropriated housing infrastructure costs; provided that if the County
<br />utilizes surcharge revenues for such housing infrastructure costs, it shall not
<br />impose or transfer those costs to the developer of a housing project; or
<br />(4) As otherwise authorized by State statute.
<br />(b) “Capital costs” in this section means nonrecurring costs required to construct a
<br />transit facility or system, including debt service, costs of land acquisition and
<br />development, acquiring rights-of-way, planning, design and construction, and
<br />including equipping and furnishing the facility or system.
<br />(c) “Housing infrastructure costs” in this section includes costs for pedestrian paths or
<br />sidewalks on a County road near or around a public school; water, drainage, sewer,
<br />water reuse, waste disposal, and waste treatment systems that connect to County
<br />infrastructure; roadways, curbs, and gutters; and any related financing costs, debt
<br />service, and financing agreement costs.
<br />(d) Any balance remaining in the general excise tax fund at the end of any fiscal year
<br />shall not lapse, but shall remain in the fund accumulating from year to year. The
<br />moneys in this fund shall not be used for any purpose except those listed in this
<br />section, or as allowed by any amendments to sections 46-16.8 and 248-2.6, Hawai‘i
<br />Revised Statutes.

<br />Section 2-236. Termination of surcharge.
<br />This general excise and use tax surcharge shall not extend beyond December 31,
<br />2030, pursuant to Act 11, Session Laws of Hawai‘i, codified as section 46-16.8, Hawai‘i
<br />Revised Statutes, as amended.
<br />(2018, ord 18-74, sec 2; am 2019, ord 19-29, sec 2.) 2-236
<br />Article 46. Commercial Sponsorship of County Assets.
<br />Section 2-237. Findings and purpose.
<br />The County needs additional revenue streams to increase its capacity to finance
<br />public programs and maintain County assets. Additional financial resources will
<br />facilitate the County’s efforts to provide levels of service and maintenance beyond the
<br />basic levels funded by the County’s operating and capital budgets. As a result, the
<br />Council finds that it is in the best interest of the County to create and enhance
<br />relationships with the private sector, including individuals, corporations and other
<br />organizations, to generate additional financial resources through commercial
<br />sponsorships of County programs, real property, facilities, equipment, or other assets.
