Re: Operating Budget
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance to appropriate a portion of the Solid Waste
Fund Fund Balance. Due to the unexpected breakdowns of compactors, which
are used daily, repairs to these compactors as well as leasing of compactors will
exceed the budgeted amount.
The department would like this bill to be heard at the Hawaii County Council
meeting to be held on May 3, 2000.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of
Public Works.

A. REQUEST:
Appropriation of a portion of the Solid Waste Fund Balance distributed to the following accounts:
085-601-5604.02-109 100,000.00
085-601-5604.02-111 100.000.00
Total 200.000.00
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
Due to a major equipment breakdown additional funds are required to repair the equipment and to
lease replacement equipment until repairs are completed.
The West Hawaii landfill uses a compactor daily to manage incoming garbage. There is a back-
up compactor, but that compactor is currently inoperable and the division is in the process of
acquiring a new one. On Monday, April 10t° the remaining compactor broke down. The division
also has two dozers at the East Hawaii landfill, but one of them is in for repair, so none was
available to lend out. Normally Waste Management has a dozer available for rental as backup in
West Hawaii, but it is also down for repairs. The Solid Waste Division will need to rent or lease
a dozer for two or three months while repairs are made to the compactor.
