We have one more thing we ''d: like to mention <br /> to you today which was not included in our letter. I would <br /> like Mr. Zuzack to talk about it and that are some ideas that <br /> we have on the reorganization of the county administration. <br /> We have enough copies here if you would like to see them_ so <br /> that you can understand what we are talking about. <br /> MR. 'ZUZAX: .z, The objective is to provide <br /> thought of consolidating the county' s departments and commiss- <br /> ions for greater efficiency and effectiveness. These are just <br /> suggestions for you for your consideration in strengthening <br /> the administrative function by a more directly responsive and <br /> responsible organization chart of the County of Hawaii. <br /> These are based upon the charter and the charter has provided <br /> the organizational chart which is now being used. So if you <br /> will follow you will observe that we have endeavored to con- <br /> solidate to strengthen and to provide many of the services , <br /> either commission or department, under the heads of certain <br /> departments. Now, we are not recommending to you that they <br /> be exactly like this is by any manner of means. We are only <br /> giving you thought. We are not recommending, necessarily, <br /> the names as you see under the deputy managing director, the <br /> department of public service and the department of public <br /> affairs'. It is only with the idea of collecting these together <br /> and the names are not significant in the sense of the word that <br /> that is the total objective we are trying to convey. They just <br /> happen to be applicable. <br /> The consolidation, first ,of all , the 'm'ayor <br /> in the older organizational chart-the managing director is next <br /> in line below the mayor and then the deputy managing director <br /> and we feel that it might be wise to consider the managing <br /> director with a counterpart of the deputy managing director and <br /> under each of those would be several departments. We consider <br /> that on that level of the three reporting to the mayor, that <br /> it should include the department of finance and purchasing. <br /> To consolidate purchasing which is currently <br /> done by several different departments wIthin the county, if it <br /> is put together--meshed with the department of finance we feel <br /> a number of efficiencies and well economies will be effected. <br /> Going back to the left now under the managing <br /> director, a consolidation of the planning and theresearchand <br /> development departments. Then the consolidation of the <br /> department of public works, water, parks and recreation and <br /> the corporation counsel. We felt that the corporation counsel <br /> should be left independent or alone as it is without consoli- <br /> dation. But these three- significant branches be under the <br /> direct supervision or responsibilities of a managing director. <br /> On the right hand ..side the deputy managing <br /> director would be responsible for two departments. Under the <br /> department of public service, police, fire, safety, mass transit <br /> and civil defense. Whereas, under the departmentof public <br /> affairs , personnel , liquor, Hawaii redevelopment, housing and <br /> community developrrmnt, manpower resources, office of aging and <br /> the band. <br /> - 6 - <br />
