PLACE: Council Chambers
TIME: 10:35 A.M.

Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 20-01, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 20-01, transmitted by Council Member Nancy Pisicchio, via Communication
No. 54, dated January 10, 2001, authorizes a performance evaluation of the Hawaii Island
Humane Society.
The aforementioned Resolution authorizes a performance evaluation of the Hawaii Island
Humane Society to be performed by a professional independent animal control organization. A
draft Request for Proposals, prepared by the Legislative Auditor in consultation with the
Purchasing Division, Finance Department, was attached.
Resolution No. 126-99 adopted on September 9, 1999 requested that the Office of the Legislative
Auditor perform a special study of the status of animal control in the County of Hawaii.
Following the completion of the Special Study, Legislative Auditor Constance R. Kiriu
recommended via Communication No. 396.032, dated November 13, 2000, that a performance
evaluation be performed by an independent body as her office in not equipped with the technical
knowledge or animal expertise necessary to conduct an evaluation of animal shelter operations
and facilities and its management and administration.
Originally heard on January 23, 2001, this measure was deferred pending revisions to encompass
a comprehensive evaluation of the County of Hawai`i's animal control program, not simply on
performance evaluation of the current contractor, the Hawaii Island Humane Society.
Subsequently, Resolution No. 49-0 l was introduced to replace Resolution No. 20-01.
Your Committee on Finance is not in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 20-01
and recommends it be filed.
