RE: Bill 55, Draft 3 -Operating Budget
and Sewer Hook-Ups
After numerous discussions and tough decisions on sewer line construction and wastewater fees, we
would like to propose that $200,000 be transferred from the Provisional Compensation Adjustment
Account No. 010-911-5911.04-341 and placed in a Sewer Connection Reserve Fund and a Sewer
Loan Fund to assist people who are required to hook up to our sewer lines.
Because the Funds are established pursuant to Sections 21-45 and 21-46, Hawaii County Code,
monies would be set aside in (1) the Sewer Connection Reserve Fund for the purpose of payment of
guaranteed loans in default, "which shall at all times be not less than fifteen percent of the total
amount of loans guaranteed "and (2) in the Sewer Loan Fund in which anon-qualifying
applicant executes an agreement giving the County a lien on the property, the County contracts to
connect the applicant's premises with the sewer line and negotiates a loan repayment.
Accordingly, we propose an amendment to Bill 55, Draft 3, placing $50,000 into the Sewer
Cmmection Reserve Fund and $150,000 into the Sewer Loan Fund.
It is recognized that future legislation is needed to expand the Sewer Connection Program to the
new service areas and to clarify the loan process. However, we feel there also needs to be real
answers for this persistent dilemma.
Your serious consideration of this proposal is appreciated.
