COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: March 8, 2001 Re: Comm. No. 130/Res. No. 58-01
PLACE: Council Chambers
TIME: 10:10 A.M.
Council Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 58-01, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 58-01, transmitted by Director of Finance William T. Takaba, via
Communication No. 130, dated February 22, 2001, creates five Police Radio Dispatcher I
positions for the Police Department.
The Police Department is desirous of creating five Police Radio Dispatcher I positions as the
Computer Aided Dispatch system utilized by this section requires that seven workstations be
manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week and with a minimum of 35 positions. Currently,
there are only 30 positions allocated. This shortage has led to an inordinate amount of overtime,
worker's fatigue and job stress, and a crisis situation.
Pursuant to Article V, Section 5-1.3(c), Hawaii County Charter, the Mayor has the power to
"create positions...for which appropriations have been made by the council...."
Funds are available in the County of Hawaii Police Department, Administrative Division,
Regular Salaries and Wages account (010-201-5203.01-011).
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 58-01
and recommends its adoption.
