OPERATING REVENUES
The following table presents a summary of our projected FY 2001 revenues
and changes from our current year's budget (amounts in thousands):
Real Property tax revenues, the County's primary source of revenue and
accounting for 48.0 percent of our budget resources, are projected to
increase by $1,425,000. The increase in this revenue source is due to the
growth in real property values, after six consecutive years of decline. Our net
taxable valuation is estimated at $10 billion.
The County's interest earnings are projected to increase by $800,000 as
proceeds from the recent bond issue have raised the amount of funds
temporarily available for investment purposes.
Charges for services are projected to increase by nearly $1.3 million or just
over 13 percent. These include revenue increases of $927,000 from sewer
fees, $100,000 from solid waste tipping fees and $195,000 from bus fares.
The fund balance, representing 9.4 percent of our budget resources,
measures the anticipated amount of carryover savings. By maximizing our
carryover savings, we have been able to balance our budget and maintain
current levels of service, despite declining revenues.

Program Description
The Hawai'i County Office of Aging was authorized in 1966 and is an Area Agency on
Aging (AAA). As an AAA, the Office of Aging is required to prepare and submit for
funding an Area Plan on Aging. The Area Plan describes the manner in which this office
develops its service delivery system for older persons on the Big Island. Through an
approved Area Plan, the Office of Aging obtains federal and state funds through the State
Executive Office on Aging.
Funds obtained for services are contracted to various providers in the community that
have shown the ability and willingness to deliver quality programs. AAAs are not
permitted to provide services directly. Most of the funding for the Office of Aging's
administrative expenses are provided by the County of Hawai'i.
The Office of Aging has a total of nine: an Executive on Aging, four Program Specialists,
an Accountant, a Senior Clerk -Stenographer, a Departmental Data Processing
Coordinator, and a Clerk.
A Committee on Aging, appointed by the Mayor, advises the Office of Aging in its
planning responsibilities. The majority of its members is over the age of 60 and
represents every major district of Hawai'i County.
Specific functions of the Office of Aging include:
1. Continuously assessing the needs of older persons in Hawai'i County and developing
programs aimed at meeting these needs;
2. Monitoring, evaluating, and commenting on policies, programs, hearings, and
community actions which affect older persons;
3. Representing the interests of older persons to public officials and public and private
agencies;
4. Developing and maintaining a public awareness program for older persons;
5. Maintaining data on the profile and needs of older persons in Hawai'i County and
having this information available for other organizations and the general public;
6. Coordinating planning with other agencies and organizations to promote new or
expanded benefits and opportunities for older persons;
7. Developing and administering an Area Plan on Aging for a comprehensive and
coordinated service delivery system in Hawai'i County;
8. Entering into subgrants or contracts for the provision of services outlined in the Area
Plan on Aging; and

Program Highlights
In the FY 99, Hawai'i County Civil Defense Agency spent much effort in preparing and
coordinating activities relating to the "Y2K Bug." The major learning experience of this
assignment was the development of a brochure directed to Hawai'i Island only. It is the
intent of Hawai'i County Civil Defense Agency to review and develop community
programs that involve brochures, exercises and training that are specifically designed for
Hawai'i County. In the past, many of the brochures and exercises were developed for
national and state use and not very applicable to Hawai'i's needs.

Program Highlights
The new Data Systems Department was formally authorized in March 1999. Having a
department now available to provide overall direction and leadership in the information
systems area of County government operations represents a change. In the past, data
processing objectives and priorities were predominantly set and implemented by
individual departments and agencies. Given this history, the goal of obtaining improved
results and efficiency with better coordination on a countywide basis through the efforts
of the Data Systems Department will be a challenge. Throughout FY 2000-2001, we will
be working to accomplish this. The results should lead to more efficient sharing of
information among all County organizations and better long range planning. This will
require cooperation from the Mayor, the County Council, and all of the County's
departments and agencies to identify and address countywide goals and objectives.
During FY 2000-2001, we will continue to provide support to existing computer systems
and applications. This includes maximizing computer system uptime during work hours,
meeting processing deadlines, and responding to requests for programming changes.
Legally mandated programming changes and work requests applicable to existing
systems and applications will receive the highest priority among our projects.
We will improve individual employee computer skills by continuing to provide in-house
computer training classes, primarily in the PC subject areas. We plan to offer ten such
classes per quarter.
Also, during FY 2000-2001, we will continue with steps to network departmental
computer systems together. This will facilitate information sharing among all County
departments and agencies and build the necessary electronic infrastructure to support
future needs.
One of Data Systems Department's long term projects is to migrate computer
applications currently running on the County's Wang computer system to more modern
36
DATA SYSTEMS
DATA SYSTEMS
Program Highlights (Continued)
PC -LAN based technology. Given the large number of applications involved, this is a
multi-year effort. FY 2000-2001 will include work in this area.
A special area of focus will be Geographic Information System (GIS). Data Systems
Department is providing countywide leadership and coordination in this area with its full-
time GIS staff member. We look forward to establishing standards and procedures for
storing, update, and sharing GIS -data among county departments and agencies.
Another major project for FY 2000-2001 will be phasing in the new Real Property Tax
System. This project will lead to the complete conversion of the system currently
running on the C&C of Honolulu computer system to in-house processing running on a
County of Hawaii computer. The benefits of the new system are numerous. It will
enable the County to modernize its real property tax functions by completely integrating
for the first time the Tax Assessment, Tax Administration, and Billing and Collections
components. State-of-the-art Internet Web -based inquiry access will be available to
County departments and to the public. The potential exists to eventually replace the older
Wang -based Building and Planning Permit Systems with applications developed to
integrate with the new Real property Tax System. The ability to interface to a
countywide GIS system is another by-product of the new system. All of these features
will eventually lead to the elimination of duplicate record keeping, reduce the need to
pass paperwork between County organizations, improve the accuracy and currency of
data, and eliminate the need to conduct individual record searches for parcel -related data
from several disjoint computer systems.
Finally, we will continue to expand the use of the County's Internet web site to make
more information available to the public. Where possible, we will be taking advantage of
the state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affair's "electronic portal" project to
enable citizens to conduct business with the County of Hawaii via the internet.

SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES EMPLOYMENT
Program Description
The Senior Employment Program (SEP) assists low-income job seekers 55 years and
older and administers the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), a
federally -funded part-time training and employment program. Its administration includes
planning, budgeting, and personnel management as well as job counseling, development,
referrals, and placements into unsubsidized jobs. At their host agencies, enrollees gain
valuable skills, experience, and contacts that increase their employability and prospects
of successfully mainstreaming into the workforce. They attend county workshops and
have training. SEP also observes National Employ the Older Worker Week that
encourages employers to hire and promote seniors.
Program Objectives
1. Maintain and fill 42 slots during the course of the project year.
2. The project shall provide services to 40% more enrollees than the established slot
level by the end of the grant year.
3. The project shall place a minimum of 20% of its allotted slot level or 8 individuals
into unsubsidized employment by the end of the grant year.
4. The Senior Employment Program shall utilize approximately 98% or $273,693 of the
funds available by the end of the grant year.
5. At least half, approximately 21 of the enrollees of the community service assignments
shall be utilized in positions serving the needs of the elderly during the grant year.
6. Approximately 175-250 site visits will be conducted by the end of the grant year.
7. At least one large program event, e.g., centered on the "Employ the Older Worker
Week" will be observed during the grant year to advance the hiring and promotion of
seniors on this island.
Promotional coverage of the program itself through various media, including in-
person presentations by staff to interested groups in the community, will be targeted
at approximately 8 exposures for the grant year.
Program Highlights
Eligible seniors who are selected as enrollees are placed through SEP at host agencies
that provide work sites for the enrollees. Since this is a federal -funded program that pays
for the wages and fringe benefits of the enrollees, only public agencies (County, State, or
Federal) and nonprofit organizations qualify as host agencies.
Types of community services that senior enrollees may be assigned to include the
following: Schools, libraries, hospitals, senior citizen centers, literacy instruction
programs, nutrition programs, beautification projects, conservation projects, restoration
projects, day care centers, etc.

Program Description
The Hawaii Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program is established by Chapter 205A,

State Legislature created the CZM Program as a shared management system with the State
and County regulatory agencies. Through an agreement, the State of Hawaii Department
of Economic Development and Tourism, Office of Planning provides funds (State and
Federal) to the County of Hawaii to implement the CZM Program through the regulation
of development in the Special Management Area (SMA). We assess development
proposals within the SMA for compliance with the CZM objectives and policies
articulated in the HRS and determine whether the issuance of a SMA permit is

Despite reduced funding, efforts continue to enhance the training in personnel in the many
phases of law enforcement and public safety. A "Gold Shield" training program consisting
of one week of supervisory courses was initiated for newly promoted supervisors.
Funding and design of the East Hawai'i Detention Facility has been completed and
construction is expected to begin before the end of the current fiscal year. In other facility
improvements, a retrofit of the air-conditioning system and improvements to the roof and
gutter of the Public Safety Complex were completed.
The Wang word processing system utilized for the dictation of police reports was replaced
with a Lanier (Cequence) transcription system based on a client server. The Wang
system's age and limitations had caused much downtime of the system and a backlog of
transcribing dictations.

POLICE
TECHNICAL SERVICES
Program Highlights (Continued)
The division will acquire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study to replace its
inefficient VHF microwave radio system with an 800 MHz trunked system, which will
support County, State and Federal agencies. The present VHF system is old and not
efficient enough to support the present agency demands and voice protection requirements
that become critical to police operations. County, State and Federal funding is important to
implement the 800 MHz System.
To improve the efficiency of records management, staff will acquire a consultant to plan
and design a computerized Record Management System. A new e-mail network will be
implemented to connect the central station with all districts and commands, thereby
improving the expeditious flow of data and collection of statistical information.

Program Highlights
The Criminal Investigation Division is divided into two units: Area I (East Hawai'i) and
Area II (West Hawai'I). Both Units are commanded by Captains and come under the
command of the Assistant Police Chief of the Investigations Operations Bureau.
The Criminal Investigation Sections (CIS) are responsible for the investigation of
felonious crimes. These include homicides, property crimes, fraud, sexual assaults and
assaults. Over the year (1999), Area I detectives investigated three homicides, of which
two were cleared by arrest and the third remains under investigation. Area II detectives
assisted in the murder investigation of National Park Ranger Steve Makuakani-Jarrel, who
was gunned down while on duty on December 12, 1999, at the Kaloko-Honokohau
National Historic Park in North Kona. The combined efforts of the detectives working
with the FBI, National Park Service, and other government agencies resulted in the arrest
of Eugene Frederick Boyce III for the murder of Makuakane-Jerrel.
The Juvenile Aid Sections are responsible for the investigation of all juvenile cases
involving victims and perpetrators. Cases involve sexual assaults, property crimes,
domestic violence and status offenses. Juvenile programs are conducted to reach the
youths at risk with the help of athletics and classroom curriculum for gang resistance.
Grants have been awarded for a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) coordinator to
assist police and medical personnel with sexual assault investigations, and the formation
of a Sex Crimes Unit.
157
POLICE
INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES BUREAU
Program Highlights (Continued)
The Vice Sections are responsible for the investigation of the trafficking and possession of
narcotics, which include crystal methamphetamine, or "ice." Special programs are in place
to combat the growth of marijuana on the Big Island. The grants from the federal and state
governments help in curtailing the importation and exportation of all drugs. In addition to
enforcing narcotic laws, vice detectives conduct investigations into prostitution, gambling
and cruelty to animals (cockfighting).

FIELD OPERATIONS
Program Description
Field Operations Bureau consists of operating units from each of the police districts,
community policing, and the Traffic Enforcement Unit. The operating units plan, direct,
and coordinate functions toward the enforcement of Federal, State, and County laws, the
prevention of crime, the apprehension and custody of law violators, and the development
of partnerships between the community and the Hawai'i County Police Department.
Program Objectives
1. No more than 1,574 burglaries.
2. No more than 5,570 thefts.
3. No more than 2,345 traffic accidents.
4. At least 1,207 DUI arrests.
5. At least 53,550 citations.
6. To complete 800 projects and programs through the development of partnerships
aimed at resolving community problems and improving the quality of life for all
citizens.
Program Highlights
The Field Operations Bureau is currently involved in special programs consisting of
sobriety checkpoints, seat belt enforcement, community policing, and domestic violence.
These programs would not be possible without grant funding.
4
Although budgetary allotments have remained somewhat status quo, the number of
burglaries has decreased, the number of traffic accidents has decreased, and the number of
arrests for driving under the influence has increased. These levels of performance are at
their all time high and would be extremely difficult to maintain without any type of
budgetary increases.

BUILDING
Program Highlights
In May 1999, the Building Division went before the County Council to amend various
sections of the building code. One of the more significant changes was the proposal to
upgrade Hawai'i County from seismic zone 3 to seismic zone 4. The reason for the
change was to recognize the relatively frequent occurrence of large earthquakes in
Hawai'i County and to mitigate this impact by requiring structures to be built to a higher
standard. With the County's approval, this change went into effect on July 16, 1999.
On May 20 and 21, 1999, the Building Division had the honor of hosting the 30`h Annual
Hawai'i Association of County Building Officials at the Hawai'i Naniloa Hotel. The
annual conference was attended by building officials from all four counties, various
manufacturer representatives, consultants, government agencies and a representative from
the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBG). The annual conference
provides a forum for the discussion of building, plumbing and electrical codes; updates
on building legislation; new products; and an overview of each counties' operations.
Approximately 40 building delegates from throughout the state attended this year's
conference.
In the year 2000, the three building code organizations in the U.S. will be adopting a
single uniform code. This code, which will be known as the 2000 International Building
Code is still undergoing revision and is expected to be published sometime in the first
half of 2000. As it now stands, Kauai, Oahu, and Maui counties will be adopting the 1997
UBC over the next six to nine months. Given this development, the division will take a
bard look at the 1997 UBC as it appears likely that there will be some pressure on
Hawai'i County to fall in line with the rest of the State.

portion of their pay to the dollars brought in by visitors.
The Big Island's visitor profile boasts the highest number of repeat visitors in the State at
63% with a length of stay at 6.99 days. For the calendar year ending December 1998, the
number of westbound travelers (US and Canada) increased by 4.8% and the number of
eastbound (Japan) increased by 12.2%. For the first six months of 1999, the island has
had slow growth in the arrival numbers with a slight 1.0% increase in westbound
travelers through May and a 19.5% decline in eastbound travelers. Clearly, the Asian
economic crisis is affecting visitors to the island.
The cruise ship industry, on the other hand, continues to show positive growth and the
attractions and retail industry are benefiting. The Big Island has the benefit of having
ships stop on both sides of the island and the projections for visits by both foreign and
American cruise lines in the future is very positive.

Program Highlights
1. On March 22, 1999, a performance contract was executed with Honeywell, Inc. for
the implementation of energy efficiency retrofits to the inventory of County -owned
buildings (other than the Hawai'i County Building, Hilo, which was retrofitted in
1997 as a demonstration project). On June 9, Honeywell's Energy Study for Phase I
of the overall project, retrofits to 27 Police and Fire substations around the island, was
accepted by the County and authorized to commence work effective June 28.
2. The Energy Coordinator participated as a member of the Advisory Group in the
development of HELCO's 2nd Integrated Resource Plan submitted to the PUC in
September 1998. The supply side plan was based on installation of two oil -fired
combustion turbines at Keahole in December 1998 with an output of 46 MW, and a
60 MW dual -train combined cycle system by Encogen in August 1999. At that time,
53 MW of existing HELCO-owned capacity would be retired. The utility's Demand
Side Management program would continue over the 20 -year planning period.
3. The Energy Coordinator participated in PUC Docket 96-0493 representing the
interests of Hawai'i County in regards to increased competition within the Hawai'i
electric industry. In October 1998, Hawaii County submitted a Joinder to the PUC
expressing support for the Statement of Positions of Maui and Kauai Counties
emphasizing restructuring of the retail energy services market and County interests in
any utility restructuring program.
4. The Model Energy Code was incorporated into the Hawai'i County Building Code in
November 1994 and has been applied since then with minimal problems. A study
carried out by Eley Associates in 1998 indicated 87% compliance with Code
provisions based on a review of plans submitted to Honolulu and Hawai'i County
Building Divisions.
5. The County supported the initiative of the Hawai'i Electric Light Company in its
major commitment to the national Million Solar Roofs Initiative (SRI) program and
worked with HELCO in developing a kick-off MSRI project, a photovoltaic powered
lighting system on Hilo Bayfront. In the private sector, Mauna Lani Bay Hotel
installed a second 100k W PV system to power the hotel's two golf maintenance
buildings, pro shop and club house as well as for recharging electric golf carts.
6. In May 1999, the Na Makani Energy Initiative of North Kohala was awarded a grant
of $37,616 from the U.S. Department of Energy to assist in the installation of 100
low-cost solar domestic water heaters in the North Kohala community. The County
has supported this community initiative with a grant that facilitated community
meetings and plan development over a two-year period.
7. The Energy Coordinator participated in State and County planning activities for Y2K
preparedness and in the May 1999 Pahili Energy Emergency Exercise simulating a
hurricane that impacted all major Hawaiian Islands.

Program Highlights
Completed the conversion of all tee box grasses to seashore pas pallum, which has shown
a greater suitability to local weather and ground conditions, as well as, a greater tolerance
toward disease and high volume traffic.
The 7`h tee water fountain was relocated on a slab to the right side of the 7`h tee to
eliminate muddy conditions. The 91h fairway water fountain was relocated on a concrete
slab to the back of the 8`h tee due to pipe deterioration and lack of water pressure at its
former location.
On the hillside above the par 3, 13`h hold, the maintenance staff planted a stunning pattern
of red foliage that spells out "HILO MUNI." For visitors and local golfers, this display
definitely adds to the beauty of the course and qualifies the 13`h hole as a signature hole.
