and Members of the County Council a
County of Hawaii
Hilo, HI 96720 ` .
~ ,
Bear Chairman Arakaki and Council Members:
As required by the Hawaii County Charter, I am submitting to you with this message the
proposed operating budget for the County of Hawaii for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2003. This balanced budget includes estimated revenues and appropriations of
$202,785,172, and includes the operations of eleven of the County's special funds as well
as the general fund.
Preparation of the budget involves estimating costs such as debt service, retirement and
medical insurance requirements and obtaining estimated expenditures from departments.
This year, as in the past nine years, departments were instructed to present a status quo
spending plan except for negotiated increases in salaries and wages. When these budget
numbers were initially compiled, proposed expenditures exceeded estimated revenues:
Proposed expenditures, FY 2002-03: $202,785,172
projected revenues 194,685,172
Shortfall: $ 8,.1.00.,000
This shortfall is in the general fund, which is largely dependent on real property tax
revenues. To present a balanced budget now as required by law, real property tax
revenues presented below assume a real property tax rate increase. Please note that the
real property assessed valuations used in this budget are still preliminary figures. The
values certified in April may vary from those assumed here. The final budget presented
to you in May will be based on the final numbers, which may result in a different bottom
line and will affect the proposed real property tax rates.
The following table describes the budgeted expenditures for FY 2001-02 and the
proposed budget for FY 2002-03 for each fund.

PI20P0-SAL
As mentioned above, to achieve this balanced budget, we will be recommending for
Council consideration increases in the current real property tax rates. If no increases are
made, the revenues generated by real property taxes will be $8.1 million lower, ~.nd will
result in ~ corresponding budget shortfall. When the amended budget is presented to the
Council in May, recommended real property tax rate adjustments will accompany it.
Section 19-90(c) of the Hawaii County Code mandates that tax rates be set by first
calculating the amount of revenue to be raised through real property taxes to cover
necessary expenditures, then determining what proportion of that revenue should be
generated by each class of property. This method will be used to propose tax rates for
your consideration and adoption.
The Honorable Chairman James Y. Arakaki
and Members of the County Council

SU~r~.RY
The budget submitted to you assumes a real property tax rate increase that will generate
an additional $8.1 million for the County. It is not easy or popular to propose the frst tax
rate increase in at least ten years, and I cannot state that the tax increase will result in
more services for our people. This increase will only allow the County to maintain a
status quo level of funding for County departments.
While the level of funding remains status quo, the level of services is actually decreasing
under this long-standing spending restriction. A status quo budget has become
counterproductive. Facilities are deteriorating for lack of the resources for necessary
repairs. Equipment replacement is deferred, resulting in higher repair costs and
nonproductive down time. Years of status quo funding has put us farther and farther
behind.
The County of Hawaii is at a crossroads. Non-discretionary costs such as payroll,
retirement contributions, and utilities continue to escalate, along with increased costs for
new mandates such as those for solid waste and wastewater. In the months ahead, the
challenge will be to find new and creative ways to overcome this and chart a better course
that will enable the County of Ilawai`i to meet its responsibilities to the people of the
County. Accepting the necessity of adopting an increase in the real property tax rates is
an important first step.
We must redefine the way services are measured and delivered; we must evaluate our
changing demographics and distribute resources to make sure that the neediest of our
residents-those without homes, the disabled, the poor-are adequately served; we must
be better stewards of our facilities; and we must become better planners for our needs of
water, roads, and facilities.
It is the goal and accepted responsibility of this administration to establish a budget that
is based on fair and equitable levels of service. To that end, we are working to establish
such levels of service for County departments, and will be submitting future budgets
based on that.
I ask for your help and the people's help in working to make Hawaii County a better
place to live.

Significant Ctaanges t® Operating Revenues
in 1F'Y 2002-03
Real Property Tax. Real property tax is the County's primary source of revenue. The
projected increase of $9.7 million in FY 2002-03 is due to the following factors:
¦ Increase of $3.0 million due to a 4.1% increase in net taxable value of real
property;
¦ Increase of $2.2 million due to higher minimum tax;
¦ Increase of $8.1 million from proposed real property tax rate increase; and
¦ feecrease of $3.6 million from current year budget for delinquencies, penalties,
and interest.
Revenues and Use of Money & Property. Revenues from the use of money and property,
primarily interest earnings, is expected to decrease by $2.2 million due to the drop in the
interest rates earned on investments.
Intergovernmental Revenue. In intergovernmental revenue, an increase in public housing
grants is offset by a decrease in Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT) collections. The
County's share of the TAT is estimated at $14.9 million, $1.7 million less than the
current year's original budget amount.
Fund Balance Carryover. The fund balance carryover, which measures the anticipated
amount of carryover savings, is expected to decrease by $5.4 million, due primarily to the
anticipated drop in the general fund fund balance to $1,450,000 from $7,830,000.
Exhibit ~
County of ?l~awaii
Significant Changes to ®perating Expenditures
in F~' 2002-03
I~ighwavs ~ Streets. The increase in this category is due to additional staffing for
highway maintenance, increased equipment replacements, and construction of a new
Puna baseyard. These expenditures will come out of the Highway Fund.
Health Education & Welfare. The increase in expenditures is attributed to the increase
in the Housing Voucher Program, a federally subsidized housing assistance program, a
program of the Housing Fund.
Debt Service. Debt service is being increased in anticipation of the administration's plan
to issue a $10 million general obligation bond for mandated and other needed capital
improvement projects.
Pension ~c Retirement. The $3,269,000 reduction in the required annual contribution to
the State Employees' Retirement System causes the decrease in this expenditure.
Health Fund. Health insurance for employees, an expense over which the County has no
control, is projected to increase by $1.5 million due primarily to an increase in premium
rates.
Miscellaneous. Decreases in miscellaneous expenditures include reductions in the
compensation adjustment provision, the fuel tax transfer, and Sewer's replacement
reserve repairs.

New Positions
A total of 16 new positions are included in this budget for FY 2002-03:
¦ 3 positions are federally funded
¦ 11 positions are funded by fuel tax
¦ 2 positions are County funded
Federal Funds. Three new positions are included for the Hawaii County Housing
Agency: a Housing and Coan~rpunity Development Specialist III, a Housing Quality
Standards Technician III, and a Clerk II. These positions will be funded through federal
grants.
Fuel Tax Funds. The Highway Maintenance Division of the Department of Public Works
is requesting 11 Laborer II positions to address its increased road maintenance workload.
These positions will be funded through fuel tax revenues. While sufficient funds are
available to cover these positions in FY 2002-03, an increase in fuel tax rates may be
necessary to fund them in following years.
County Funds. Two new positions are included for the newly created Department of
Environmental Management - a Personnel Specialist II and an Accountant III.
Reductions
Funding for 19 vacant positions has been eliminated, resulting in savings of $681,724.
While funding for these positions has been deferred, please note that it will be necessary
in the future. For example, funding the three Fire Equipment Operator positions for
Hawaiian Ocean View Estates will need to be coordinated with the delivery of necessary
equipment, estimated to occur in FY 2003-04.

Program Description
The Hawaii 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 Hawaii.
The Office of Aging has a total staff of nine: an Executive on Aging, four Aging Program
Planners, 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 Hawaii County.
Specific functions of the Office of Aging include:
1. To continuously assess the needs of older persons in Hawaii County and developing
programs aimed at meeting these needs;
2. To monitor, evaluate, and comment on policies, programs, hearings, and community
actions which affect older persons;
3. To represent the interests of older persons to public officials and public and private
agencies;
4. To develop and maintain a public awareness program for older persons;
5. To maintain data on the profile and needs of older persons in Hawaii County and
have this information available for other organizations and the general public;
6. To coordinate planning with other agencies and organizations to promote new or
expanded benefits and opportunities for older persons;
7. To develop and administer an Area Plan on Aging for a comprehensive and
coordinated service delivery system in Hawaii County;
8. To enter into subgrants or contracts for the provision of services outlined in the Area
Plan on Aging; and
9. To provide technical assistance, monitor, and periodically evaluate the performance
of all service providers under the Area Plan on Aging.

PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY AND NOTICE
The Council and Committee meetings are now televised on the public access channels in
East and West Hawaii with the enhanced feature of captioning for the hearing-impaired.
Following a change approved by the voters, the Council began meeting once per quarter
in West Hawaii. Also videoconferencing equipment was installed which, when fully
operational, will permit West Hawaii residents to participate in Council meetings in
Hilo.
ACTIVITIES
During the year the Council held 24 regular meetings and 4 public hearings. The
Council's Committees conducted a total of 68 regular meetings, 3 special meetings, and 2
workshops. During this period, the Council processed approximately 1,600 public
communications, approved 332 resolutions and enacted 168 bills into law.
The County Council hosted the National Association of Counties' Western Interstate
Region (WIR) conference from May 23-26, 2001 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort.
The conference attracted over 600 delegates from 15 western states as well as other states
throughout the nation. The county experienced significant direct and indirect economic
benefits from sponsoring this particular conference.
The biggest challenge grew out of the massive damage caused by the November 2000
flood. The Council responded to this natural disaster by approving measures to expedite
the repair of flood damage to roads, bridges, and flood channels.
Noteworthy legislation include adopting a balanced operating budget of $175,769,492,
appropriating over $5,800,000 in fuel tax monies, establishing a volunteer disabled
parking enforcement program, adopting a more restrictive fireworks code, and advocating
for the County's rightful share of the public service company tax, which has historically
been paid to the state.
The Council requested and received a report from the Legislative Auditor's Office
entitled Special Study on the Status of Animal Control in the County of Hawai `i, October
2000. The report investigated the history of animal control in Hawaii County, common
functions of animal control programs nationwide, the County's contract with the Hawaii
Island Humane Society, and comparative national standards reflected in the programs of
other municipalities and humane organizations. Among the Study's recommendations,
subsequently adopted by the Council, was a call for an independent, third-party
evaluation by an established national animal welfare organization. A request for
proposals was prepared and the Council selected the National Animal Control

Computer System Upgrades
A substantial quantity of outdated computer equipment was removed as part of Data
Systems Department's ongoing efforts to modernization. This will result in long-term
cost saving and less power consumption in future years. Anew computer system was
installed in the Office of the Corporation Council to improve handling of daily office
procedures and overall staff efficiency. E-mail, high-speed Internet access, shared
document retrieval, and other enhancements were implemented as part of this project.
Computer Operations
Data Systems Department met all of its established processing goals and deadlines. Of
significance, some 24,000 paychecks were produced throughout the year all on time.
Reporting of payroll data to numerous financial institutions and state and federal
government organizations were also completed as required on time.
Telecommunications Netevork
Data Systems Department is continuing its efforts to revamp and improve its
telecommunications network. Anew software product (Lightspeed NVS) was tested that
will provide a more cost effective connection to the County's central computer system,
particularly for sites remote from the Hilo County Building. This will result in reduced
costs for dial-up telephone lines used for data access.
The County's Microsoft NT computer systems network was expanded. By the end of
FY 2000-01, it included the following County organizations:
Mayor's Office
County Council
Civil Service-Safety Division
Corporation Counsel
County Clerk
Data Systems Department
Finance (Accounts, Budget, Purchasing, Real Property)

Pro~rarn Hi~hli~hts (continued)
A high speed connection to the Internet was installed in the Hilo County Building to
handle increased Internet usage. This service is available to all County departments and
agencies connected to Data System's network. This will reduce the need for individual
Internet dial-up accounts and result in a considerable savings to the County government
operations in future years.
Computer Apeplecations
Numerous requests for systems analysis and computer programming assistance by
County departments and agencies were handled by Data Systems Department. All the
programming change requests mandated by new laws were completed on time. Two of
the larger requests pertaining to existing computer applications that were implemented
were the Sewer Billing rate increases approved by the County Council and modifications
to payroll programs to accommodate the new public employee collective bargaining
contracts.
The following new computer applications were developed throughout the year as well:
Correspondence Log
New PC-LAN based correspondence tracking systems were implemented in
Data Systems Department's ongoing effort to replace computer applications
running on the minicomputer. The new system was installed at the Mayor's
Office, Finance Department, Department of Parks and Recreation, Planning
Department, Clerical Center, and the Office of the Corporation Counsel.
County Council Office Records System
A new system for computerized tracking of County Council records was
developed and became operational on the County Clerk's in-house computer
system with the start of the new 2000-2001 Council term. Records computerized
include meeting agendas, minutes, publications, digests, communications, bills,
ordinances, resolutions, and committee reports. Training was provided to staff
members. Data Conversion for the 1998-2000 term is scheduled for October.
This material has also been made available on the County's Internet web site.
Motor Vehicle Transaction Archive
An application for tracking daily motor vehicle transactions was developed and
installed for Treasury Division of the Finance Department.

Program Hi~hli~hts (continued)
`TlO~II~ Address Database
An application for keeping track of specific street addresses assigned to parcel
tax map keys (TMK) was created for the Building Division of the Department of
Public Works. Current addresses are entered into the system as they are assigned
on a daily basis. Logs containing addresses assigned over the past ten years
were also input into the system. Other older address information that currently
resides on map sheets is being entered into the database as time permits.
Work Order System
A work control application was developed and implemented by Data Systems
Department for the Office of the Corporation Counsel. This will allow that
office to track the status of assignments handled by its legal staff.
12ea1 Property Tax stem
Installation of the new $2 million computer information system was completed. The new
system has enabled the Real Property Tax Office to modernize its property tax functions.
Internet web-based inquiry access also has been made available to the public. The new
system integrates the following tax office functions into a cohesive system:
Property Appraisals
Tax Assessment Administration
Tax Billing & Collections
Electronic Document Management
Public Access within the tax office or via the Internet.
The new system produced the most recent Notice of Assessment, Certification of Values,
Appeal Hearings, 1st Half Tax Bills and Tax Collections. The new system is run by
Hawaii County personnel and replaces the system previously run by the City & County of
Honolulu.
Ge®~raphic Information S sy terns ((GIST
The department began implementation of a Geographic Information Systems plan that
was developed during FI' 1999-2000. A parcel data layer has been licensed for use
exclusively by the County. Workshops were held to educated county managers and staff
on the use of GIS. Assistance was provided to the County Clerk's Election Office with
the installation and use of special GIS mapping hardware and software. This will
facilitate reapportionment based upon the 2000 U.S. census data. Unfortunately, in
January our GIS Analyst left the position. Once this vacancy can be filled, we hope to
resume the GIS project coordination and development work that was initiated.

Program Highlights (continueel)
COIllputer Security
Changes were made to improve overall access and data security on LANs (local area
networks). User logon lists were revised and brought up to date. Anti-virus software
was updated to the latest versions.
Coanputer 'T'raining

Prograrri Description
Con~re,~ate Nutrition Services
The Older Americans Act authorized funding for local community programs to provide
nutrition services to the elderly. The congregate meals program was designed to provide
older individuals, aged 60 and older, with at least one low cost, nutritious meal, five days
a week in a congregate setting. The program includes nutrition and health education,
health assessments, recreational activities and other appropriate services for older
individuals.
Horne Delivered Meal Service
The Older Americans Act authorized funding for local community programs to provide
nutrition services to the elderly. The home delivered meals program or "Meals on
Wheels" is an integral part of a community based health care system. Participants
receiving home delivered meals are aged 60 and older and homebound due to illness or
disability. The home delivered meals program provides at least one low cost, nutritious
meal, five or more days a week, delivered directly to the participants' homes.
Pro~rarn Objectives
Congre~te Nutrition Services
1. To provide 85,444 nutritious meals, each containing 1/3 of the U.S. RDA, to 900
older individuals, aged 60 and older, at fifteen congregate nutrition sites throughout
Hawaii County by June 30, 2003.
2. To prepare and conduct 300 monthly nutrition and health education sessions, and
annual nutrition and health assessments to 1,200 older individuals, aged 60 and older,
throughout Hawaii County by June 30, 2003.
Hoare Delivered Meal Service
3. To deliver 72,324 nutritious meals, each containing 1/3 of the U.S. RDA, to 550 frail,
homebound older individuals, aged 60 and older, throughout Hawaii County by June
30, 2003.

Program Highlights
• The Hawaii County Nutrition Program (HCNP) opened a brand new congregate site
in Kailua-Kona in October 2000. fio provide funding for staffing and equipment for
this site, 2 nutrition programs at Hawaii Island Adult Care and Kona Adult Day
Center left HCNP. They now receive meals under separate Federal grants.
Accordingly, the number of congregate sites was reduced from 16 to 15, and the total
number of congregate meals served was reduced from 100,872 to 92,348 to reflect the
addition of the new Kona site.
In FY 2003, the number of congregate meals served will be further reduced to reflect
a decrease in congregate demand; the number of home delivered meals will be
increased, to reflect the growing demand for these services as our population ages.
• The Home Delivered Meals Program (Meals on Wheels) received a special State
grant that was used to purchase "meal tray sealers". This equipment heat seals
cellophane tops onto our plates, providing a more attractive, and economical cover
(just like TV dinners)! The lids that were used previously snapped on, were not
airtight, and were harder for the staff to handle.
• Nutritional health assessments were completed for each participant in our program.
These assessments provide an overall "snapshot" of the health (nutritional, physical,
financial) of the seniors in our program, and highlights areas where additional
services may be needed.
• The Hawaii County Nutrition Program, in conjunction with our sponsors First
Hawaiian Bank, and the Hawaii County Council, plans and presents the Primetime
Senior Health Fair each year for all senior residents of Hawaii County. This year,
over 800 seniors attended our fair and were able to learn more about improving their
health through various screening tests (glucose, cholesterol, hearing, glaucoma, bone
density) and informational exhibits.
• In Oceanview, we are continuing to receive requests from the community to develop
a new community center that can be used by senior programs in the mornings, and by
youth programs in the afternoons.
• District celebrations were held for seniors participating in the Nutrition Program this
year, including a Spring Sports Bash in Ka`u, a King Kamehameha Day celebration
in Hilo/Puna, a Fourth of July spectacular in Waimea/Kohala, a Summer Festival in
Kona, and a Christmas Party in Hamakua.

Program Description
The Senior Community Services Employment Program is funded by Title V of the Older
Americans Act. The U.S. DLIR channels it to our State's Workforce Development
Division. WDD subcontracts with HCOA which farms out this part-time training and
temporary employment program to the Senior Employment Program (SEP), which is
under P&R's Elderly Activities Division. SEP's mission is to assist low-income seniors
55 or older to get employed in jobs not subsidized-i.e., not paid for-by this program.
Its administration includes planning, budgeting, and personnel management as well as job
counseling, development, referrals, and placements into unsubsidized jobs. SEP places
enrollees at host agencies that provide work sites for the enrollees who gain current work
experience and current work references that increase their employability and prospects of
successfully mainstreaming into the workforce at large. Since federal funds pay for
enrollee wages and fringe benefits, only public sector agencies and nonprofit
organizations (501 C-3's) qualify as host agencies. In addition to training provided by
host agencies, the enrollees attend county workshops.
Program Objectives
1. Fill and maintain 42 enrollment slots for 80% of the FY.
2. Provide services to 40% more enrollees than the established slot level by FY's end.
3. Place 20% of its allotted slot level or 8 enrollees into unsubsidized jobs by FY's end.
4. Place 50% or 21 of the enrollees into community service positions that serve seniors
during the FY.
5. Visit the enrollees at their work sites every quarter. Conduct 175 work site visits by
FY's end.
6. Plan and present 8 informational sessions about the program through various media to
interested community groups during the FY.

Program Description
The Mayor's Committee on Children and Youth advises the Mayor on issues affecting
the welfare and development of Hawaii County's young citizens. The committee is
comprised of appointed volunteers who work with youth of all ages, represents the public
and private sectors and live in different communities on the Big Island.
Program ®bjectives
1. Continue to ensure committee representation on an Island-wide basis, selected from
individuals working with children from birth to age 21.
2. Continue to recognize and promote effective programs, existing or new, for children,
youth and families.
3. Continue to increase community awareness of the needs of services and programs for
children and youth.
4. Strongly recommend that the County administration re-evaluate funding an Office of
Children and Youth within the next fiscal year to continue and further the work that
has been started by the coordinator and the committees.
Program Highlights
In the area of young children, the committee supervised the Hawaii County Child Care
Coordinator position. This position was created through a grant from the state and linked
the County of Hawaii to the Good Beginnings Alliance and the State's Master Plan for
Early Childhood Education. The role of the coordinator included the convening of a
community council to implement afive-year County plan. The council included early
childhood professionals and stakeholders, and the plan was completed in May of 1997.
The coordinator position received a fourth year of funding, but funding was terminated at
the end of June 2000.
In terms of adolescents, the Teen Voices subcommittee met to address the needs of our
teen population including issues such as transportation, vocational training, after school
activities, and other topics generated by the subcommittee members themselves.
Members included youth and adults from Hilo, Waimea and Kona. The goal of this group
was to create afive-year County plan for teens and to interface with other teen initiatives
on the Big Island.
The third subcommittee was the Big Island America's Promise program. The goals of
America's Promise dovetail with the MCCY's goals of helping our youngsters become
productive, healthy, contributing citizens with an emphasis on community service.

Program Description
The Pana`ewa Recreational Complex is comprised of two facilities. Pana`ewa Rainforest
Zoo and Pana`ewa Equestrian Center together provide varied recreational opportunities
that are open to the public.
Pana`evva Rainforest Zoo
The Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo is the only natural rainforest zoo in the United States. This
provides the unique opportunity to exhibit species in a natural rainforest atmosphere. An
abundance of flora enhances the zoo experience and transforms the zoo into a botanical
park exhibit as well. Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo provides a welcome form of alternate
recreation for all ages to enjoy. The zoo is open to the public everyday from 9:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m., 7 days a week and is only closed on Christmas and New Years. There is
currently no admission charge.
Modem zoos strive to provide and promote a theme of conservation through education
and recreational activities. Conservation of world wildlife and rainforests will effect the
generations to come. Continuing education and awareness is vital to preserving these
natural resources for the future, and the zoo affords the perfect opportunity to combine
this education with recreation.
Our program is achieved by maintaining standards to allow continuation of Federal
licensure and acquisition of State and Federal permits necessary to transport and house
restricted animals. Volunteer docents are utilized to provide educational tours for school
excursions and outreach programs. Community involvement is vital to the program's
success and expansion.
E~nestrian Center
The Equestrian Center is located adjacent to the zoo and has the capacity to house 64
horses. Horse stalls are rented to the public for a nominal cost.
The Pana`ewa Equestrian Center is developed and maintained for a wide variety of
equestrian related activities. Facilities include a 5/8 mile Race Track, Rodeo Arena, Hot
Walker, Wash Racks, and 64 Rental Stalls with attached Paddocks. The center is open for
public use 7 days a week.

Program Highlights
1. A major project of the past year was to develop and implement a comprehensive
upgrade for the department's computer system, which will include the use of software
programs for presentations to the various Boards and Commissions administered by
this department.
2. The Department has also implemented a Geographical Information System (GIS)
which will eventually provide a comprehensive data base for matters related to the
functions and responsibilities of this department. Major emphasis by the Department
in terms of on-going commitment and support is required to fully realize the benefits
of this data bank. This will prove to be an essential and effective planning tool for
staff and the public.
3. Another important accomplishment was the assumption of the Tax Mapping function
for the County through the hiring and training of staff and the acquisition of necessary
equipment. This critical responsibility is directly related to the Real Property Tax
System and serves as an essential tool for land management in the county.
4. The Department is currently undertaking a major task in developing the
comprehensive update of the County's General Plan. The General Plan is the policy
document for the long-range comprehensive development of the island of Hawaii.
The General Plan provides the direction for the future growth of the County. As a
policy document, the General Plan provides the legal basis for all subdivision, zoning
and related ordinances. It also provides the legal basis for the initiation and
authorization for all public improvements and projects.
5. The West Hawaii Division continues to provide outreach to the West Hawaii

Program Description
The Hawaii Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program is established by Chapter 205A,
Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS). It is a comprehensive management guide for the
beneficial use, protection, and development of Hawai`i's land and water resources. The
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
appropriate. As part of the agreement with the State, the County's responsibilities
include:
1. Administration of the SMA permits, shoreline setback variances, nonpoint source
pollution issues, and other CZM-related matters.
2. Administer an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program.
3. Facilitate and support public participation in the CZM Program, as may be necessary.
4. Attend all CZM-related meetings, workshops, and seminars.
5. Coordinate, facilitate, and where possible, streamline the development review
process.
6. Submit status and performance reports on asemi-annual basis to the Office of
Planning.
Program Objectives
1. Process all SMA Permit applications in the required time limit as specified by law
and the County's Rules and Regulations.
2. Process all SMA Assessments within the specified 21-day requirement.
3. Conduct site investigation of alleged violations within two weeks of receipt of
complaints.
4. Monitor all CZM-related legislative bills during the State Legislative session and
provide testimonies as needed (January to May 2003).
5. Attend all Marine and Coastal Zone Management Advisory Group (MACZMAG)
meetings, which are normally held every other month.
6. Attend MACZMAG subcommittee meetings.
7. As a public participation measure, provide a written report to the members of the
MACZMAG of all SMA Permit applications and their status for discussion at the
MACZMAG meetings.
153
~~t~l~l 1'~ ~l~l
Program Objectives (continued)
8. Continue to advertise Planning Commission agenda and hearing notices for all SMA
Permit applications as required by law.
9. Provide the Office of Planning with semi-annual reports within seven days after
December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003.
10. Continue to review Planning Commission and Planning Department Rules for
compliance with enacted State laws and draft amendments to the rules for adoption.
Program Highlights
With the cooperation of the Fire Department in the use of its helicopter, a photographic
inventory (digital and video) of the island's shoreline was recently completed. A follow-
up ground level photographic survey of shoreline parcels within the urban areas was
done. The digital photographic information provides the Planning Department with
baseline data of all shoreline parcels.
Enforcement and monitoring of activities within the Special Management Area have
increased.
Participation in the Marine and Coastal Zone Management Advisory Group, non-point
source pollution, water quality, coastal erosion, ocean resource management, and other
committees continue.

Program ~i~hlights (continueel)
In 2001, the Police Department secured sufficient funds from its asset forfeiture account
and a Department of Justice grant to proceed with implementation of a modern records
management system( RMS). The RMS, consultant services, and infrastructure needed to
support the system Islandwide will cost 1.6 million dollars. Since 1992 the Police
Department has recognized the need to fully automate its operations with a modern
integrated records management system. A modern integrated RMS will enhance public
safety by making more timely, accurate, and complete information available to police
personnel; increase productivity by reducing/eliminating redundant or unnecessary tasks;
improve management and public policy decision making by increasing the ability to
analyze law enforcement data; and protect the rights of people and the interest of the
County with a proper security of confidential information. The department anticipates to
have the RMS in full operation by the fall of 2002.
The department will also receive $109,994 through the FY 2001 Local Law Enforcement
Block Grant (LLEBG) to purchase 86 computer work stations, which will support the
RMS.
In April 2001 the department applied for the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Bulletproof
Partnership Grant and received an award of $62,000.00, which will be used towards the
purchase of 176 bulletproof vests. This allows the department to purchase a new model
of vests developed by Second Chance Body Armor, which is lighter, more comfortable
and most importantly more resistant to penetration by bullets.
Major projects that have been undertaken during this year (2001) include the completion
of the lighting retrofit for the Public Safety Complex and groundbreaking for the new
South Hilo Police Cellblock Facility.

Pr®~ram Highlights
Comgnunications --Maintenance Section
The Police Department has embarked on a program to upgrade Hawaii County's radio
telecommunications system that is used not only by the Department, but also by Fire,
Civil Defense, Public Works, Water, including other County, State and Federal entities.
This project is intended to migrate and replace the County's 26-year-old, 2 GHz analog
microwave radio system with a digital 6 GHz. system that will be the "backbone" for a
modern 800 MHz. trunked two way radio system. The replacement of towers and radio
installation sites are paramount concerns as this is the only form of wireless
telecommunications for the County (including public safety agencies). The present age
and deterioration of the existing sites makes them vulnerable to any type of high wind
conditions up and including tropical hurricanes.
The new microwave system will be the first phase in providing an efficient "carrier
wave" for an 800 MHz. trunked radio system, which would provide increased channel
privacy, increased
channel usage and a decrease in outside radio interference. When the County procures an
800 MHz. system it will provide the wireless infrastructure to support such applications
as mobile data terminals and inherent secured voice communications.
The project is scheduled to be implemented in three phases -engineering and design;
upgrading of facilities; and implementation of the new microwave radio system. During
CY 2001, as part of the first phase, the department has contracted a consulting firm,
Gartner Consultants, to do the preliminary work for the system design and to aid in the
selection of a vendor to complete the renovation project.
Records and Identification Section
On May 8, 2001, the department in conjunction with the Attorney General's office
implemented the first phase of the criminal justice information integration pilot project,
more commonly known as the "Green Box" project. The "Green Box" project is an
automated booking system that allows criminal history, fingerprint and mugshot date to
be electronically inputted at the time of arrest and to be immediately available on-line to
other booking stations with the County of Hawaii. The data is also automatically
transferred to the States' booking server where it is available for retrieval by authorized
systems. The data is also transmitted electronically to the State' Offender Based Tracking
System/Computerized Criminal History (OBTS/CCH) which contains a historical record
of the data and the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(IAFIS). Response time from the FBI regarding positive hits has been reduced from two
months to two hours. The State funded $490,000 for the project and there was no cost to
the County.

hOLIC~
~Dl~I~TISTIZ~TIV~ ~UIZEAU -Technical Services
Program highlights (continued)
The Hilo and Kona Police Stations are both equipped with a fully automated booking
system ("Green Box" computer, Livescan electronic fingerprint unit, and digital camera).
The manual booking process has been completely eliminated in these stations. Ink and
film are no longer used and the digital storage of mugshots greatly facilitates the
generation of photo line-ups. The overall amount of time and money saved is enormous.
The remaining District Police Stations received partial systems ("Green Box" computers)
allowing for immediate capture and availability of booking data. Inked fingerprints from
these districts are routed to the Records and Identification Section in Hilo and are
scanned in to the system for electronic storage and transmission. The State has received a
grant of one million dollars that will be utilized to purchase more equipment for the
Police Department.
Co?nrr~unications -Dispatch Section
During FY 2001, five new Police Radio Dispatcher I positions were created of which
three are currently filled. These new positions will provide additional personnel whose
main priority is to answer and screen incoming E-911 calls, allowing experienced Police
Radio Dispatcher II personnel to operate police radios to assign and monitor police
response to calls for service.
As a result of hiring new personnel a new training program has been implemented to
provide classroom sessions as well as on the job training. Department personnel that
included dispatchers, police officers, and other support staff are participating as
instructors.
Traffic Services Section
In response to public complaints of vehicles with loud mufflers, wide tires, and oversized
pick-up trucks the PMVI Program has re-evaluated it's operations during this calendar
year. This has resulted in an increase in safety check station inspections and
investigations resulting in suspensions or revocations of safety inspector licenses. To
date, there have been thirteen (13) safety inspection license suspensions and two (2)
license revocations, compared to ten (10) license suspension in CY 2000.
As a result of the Department of Public Works immediately disposing of Abandoned
Vehicles as opposed to impounding them, the Police Department has had a reduction in
the need for impoundment letters to be generated allowing staff to concentrate on other
duties.
In working closer with Community Groups the Police Department has increased the
number of traffic violations letters that have been generated.

Program Highlights
Criminal Investigation Sections (CIS)
Responsible for the investigation of all major crimes, to include homicides, assaults,
property crimes, and fraud. Over the year (2001), Area I detectives investigated five (5)
homicides and six (6) attempted homicides, of which nine (9) were cleared by arrest.
Area II detectives investigated three (3) homicides and three (3) attempted homicides, of
which four (4) were cleared by arrest and two (2) were referred to the Prosecutor's Office
for Grand Jury proceedings.
On June 30, 2001, Area I Detectives completed an undercover Interdiction of Stolen
Property Project that was funded by a Byrne Memorial Grant administered by the
Department of the Attorney General. Monies from the Grant were utilized to fund two
undercover police officer positions and purchase stolen property from persons in the Hilo
and Puna Districts.
The project resulted in the recovery of $170,526 worth of stolen property, which included
electronic equipment, firearms, photographic equipment, and vehicles. It resulted in
fifty-five (55) arrests with another thirty (30) arrests expected through Grand Jury
indictments.
The project also resulted in spin-off investigations involving drugs and illegal gambling;
fifty-two (52) drug cases and fifty-six (56) drug cases were initiated as a result of the
undercover operation.
Juvenile Aicl Sections (JAS)
Responsible for the investigation of cases involving juveniles as victims or perpetrators
which includes assaults, property crimes, status offenses, and the monitoring of gang
activity. The role of the Juvenile Aid Section has increased in recent years along with a
growing public awareness of domestic/child abuse as well as sexual assault. The section
has expanded its responsibilities and has formulated teams of specially trained
investigators to concentrate in these areas.
The Sex Crimes Unit primarily investigates sexual assaults and other related cases
involving adult and juvenile victims.

The Domestic Violence (D.V.) Unit primarily assists and investigates felony domestic
violence cases, reviews cases handled by the patrol officers to ensure quality control, and
provides continuous in-service training.
Over the year (2001), the D.V. Unit provided "Domestic Violence Training for First
Responders" to the Hawaii Fire Department Paramedics islandwide as well as to Fire
Fighter Recruits in Hilo. Topics that were covered during the 8-hour class, included
basic dynamics of domestic violence; medical approach to domestic violence; special
considerations for child/elder abuse; and the mechanism of domestic violence injuries.
The D.V. Unit also provided Hawaii Fire Department Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMTs) with refresher classes in "Domestic Violence Training for First Responders".
The Juvenile Aid Section in Area II, has developed an underage drinking program, titled
Incorporated Measures Preventing Alcohol Consumption by Teens (IMPACT). The
program focuses on three (3) aspects of underage drinking -enforcement, education, and
accountability.
Over 200 youth participants have been involved in the program and only one has been a
repeat offender. The program has now extended into the community to educate the
parents about the dangers associated with underage drinking.
The Hawaii Isle Police Activities League (HI-PAL) is a preventive program designed to
get the youth of our communities involved with constructive and supervised athletic
activities. The goals of HI-PAL include fostering the spirit of loyalty and faith in
American traditions, and promoting a spirit of sportsmanship, benevolence, friendship,
sociability, good will and tolerance. Another goal is to promote and safeguard youth and
to provide a meeting place for the promotion the common interest of youth. The HI-PAL
program runs activities throughout the calendar year.

Vice Sections
Responsible for the prevention and suppression of all forms of commercialized vice
activity, including prostitution, gambling, and illegal trafficking of narcotics. Special
operations and covert programs are in place to combat the cultivation of marijuana and
distribution of illegal drugs on the Big Island. Federal and State grants provide funding
to assist in accomplishing our objectives. Vice officers belong to the Statewide Narcotics
Task Force, Statewide Marijuana Eradication Task Force and Organized Crime Drug
Enforcement Task Force. Joint operations are conducted with the Drug Enforcement
Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Customs and Postal Service.
During the period from January through September 2001, the Hawaii Police Department
recovered 578.94 grams of cocaine, 1, 875.9 grams of heroin, 13,206.71 grams of
processed marijuana and 67,846 marijuana plants as a result of conducting 775
investigations.

Program Highlights (continued)
The abuse and distribution of crystal methamphetamine continue to rise throughout the
County of Hawaii. Between January and September 2001, 5,870.2 grams were recovered
and 205 investigations were initiated. Vice officers continue to work with various
Federal, State and local agencies to disrupt the flow of crystal methamphetamine into and
throughout the County of Hawaii.
In continuing to provide a safe environment for the community, members of the Hawaii
Police Department have received the necessary training and equipment to establish a
clandestine laboratory response team. The team, consisting of members from East and
West Hawaii will be responsible for conducting investigations related to the
manufacturing of crystal methamphetamine and disassembling of laboratories.
A year long undercover gambling "sting" operation was also conducted throughout the
year. The investigations focused on dice games, commonly referred to as "craps", card
games known as "Pepito" and two sports betting operations. The operation culminated
with 138 separate arrests for 357 gambling and gambling related offenses.
Crirne Laboratory
A support unit that assists Hawaii Police Department investigators and the Prosecutor's
Office with scientific opinions and testimony in Hawaii's District and Circuit Courts.
The laboratory also assists with investigations conducted by the Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park, Department of Land & Natural Resources DOCARE Officers, and the
Liquor Department's investigators. The laboratory staff performs various examinations
and analyses; utilizing chemical testing, various instrumentation, and microscopic
examinations.
A backlog of cases still exists as a result of being understaffed in 1999-2000, having to
train the new Criminalist hired in August of 2000 to fill the vacant position, and an
increase in caseload. In an effort to decrease the backlog and have the laboratory operate
more efficiently staff have been working with Police investigators and the Prosecutor's
Office.
Some measures being taken include reducing non-essential testing through better
communication on case status and a reduction in paperwork by condensing
Evidence/Property Receipts, submitting only items requiring testing to the lab. In
addition, staff has been conducting research and applying for various grants in an effort
to purchase new equipment instruments to aid in performing the necessary testing.

Program Description
Field Operations Bureau consists of operating units from each of the police districts,
Community Policing, Police Reserve Officers Program 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
Hawaii County Police Department.
The Field Operations Bureau under the command of an Assistant Police Chief is divided
into two regions, designated as Area I and Area II. Police Majors command the regions,
which consist of eight Police Districts that are under the command of a Police Captain.
Area I involved field operations in the districts of Hamakua, Puna, North and South Hilo,
while Area II involves the field operations of Kau, Kona, North and South Kohala.
Program Objectives
1. No more than 1,600 burglaries.
2. No more than 7,100 thefts.
3. No more than 2,350 traffic accidents.
4. At least 900 DUI arrests.
5. At least 50,500 citations.
6. To complete 800 project and programs through the development of partnerships
aimed at resolving community problems and improving the quality of life for all
citizens.
The Field Operations Bureau is achieving two of its six program objectives for calendar
year 2001. The shortfalls are in the areas of burglary, theft, DUI, and citations.
The burglary objective is down by 16 cases, the theft objective by 1, 040 cases, our DUI
arrest goal by 251 arrests, and citations issued by 6, 677. We are on target in achieving
our traffic accident and Community Police Officer goals for 2001.
An overall review of the issues listed above shows that an increase of manpower in the
Field Operations Bureau would allow the Police Department to address the program
objectives more effectively and proactively.

Program highlights
The Field Operations Bureau is currently involved in special programs consisting of
sobriety checkpoints, seat belt/child restraint enforcement, community policing, truancy,
underage drinking and domestic violence. These programs would not be possible without
grant funding.
It is not certain if grant funds will continue to be made available due to the September 11,
2001 incidents.
The Special Response Team (SRT) has received most of the necessary equipment to
become fully operational. Advanced training for the unit was scheduled for October
2001, however, due to the terrorist attacks, the training has been postponed until February
2002.
During the year 2002, Community Policing will continue services such as Neighborhood
Watch, citizen patrols, home and business security checks, etc. In addition, it will be
looking to address identified community problems such as underage drinking, drug
activity, nuisance calls, etc., using a collaborative problem-solving approach.

Program Description
The program provides facilitative leadership to both the public and private sectors to
support the sustainable development of agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, fisheries and
other natural resources. Activities include financial support and coordination of
agricultural resource, education, and marketing programs; data collection, compilation
and dissemination; management of collaborative R&D projects; advocacy of local
farmers and commodity groups to state and federal agencies; and provision of
background data and analyses to County policy-makers.
Program Objectives
1. Increase the availability of land for sustainable diversified agriculture by 1,000 acres
per year.
2. Increase the total value of agriculture in Hawaii County by $5 million per annum.
3. Increase our self sufficiency of food by replacing 500,000 pounds per year of imports
with local production.
Program Highlights
1. In fiscal year 2000-2001, R&D funded many exciting agricultural projects. The Mid
Pacific Horticultural Trade Show proved to be very successful in creating a strong
and continuous market for the ornamental foliage and flower industry. Attendance at
this show increases every year and for this year, there were 700 buyers, an increase of
40% from last year. A survey of the industry after the show revealed that sales was
quadrupled, field stock plantings increased by over 600% and shadehouse production
area increased by over 700%. In addition to the foliage industry, other commodity
groups such as the potted flowers that joined the show also experienced growth.
2. Potted flowers, mostly orchids, are a fairly new industry growing from $2 million five
years ago to about $10 million at present. The interest in this industry is strong and
growing. R&D funded an island-wide workshops on commercial orchid production
and the response was overwhelming. Almost 200 people from all over the island
registered for the workshops of which 160 are from east Hawaii.
3. The other very successful promotional program that R&D kick-started is the Taste of
the Hawaiian Range Food Show. This project was started seven years ago to develop
a local market for grass fed beef. The goal is to expose our island chefs with locally
produced meats. This year 31 chefs, 25 food service businesses and Kamuela
vegetable farmers participated the show. It attracted over 1,400 people. Currently,
upscale restaurants are serving local beef and some supermarkets are selling local
meats.

Program Hi~hli~hts (continued)
4. Leveraging of R&D's limited funds proved to be very effective in obtaining
additional funding for the agriculture industry on the island. R&D's seed money
provided to the development of the pearl industry on the island 2 years ago continued
to attract outside funding. This year the principal investigator of the project obtained
$1.6 million for the continuation of the project as well as develop new projects for the
Big Island and the Pacific.
5. The partnership between the county, state, federal and private business made possible
the emergency repair of the portion of the Lower Hamakua Ditch. Such repair
restored the flow of water to some Hamakua farmers. R&D's contribution of $5,000
was matched with over $55,000.
6. The Ka'u Agricultural Water System project in Pahala received FEMA funds in the
amount of $59,469 for the emergency and permanent repairs of the damage sustained
by the project during the November 2000 flood. Phase I of the project will be
completed in December 2001. An additional 10 acres was put into potato production
making a total of 100 acres of diversified crops serviced by this system.
7. The papaya quarantine demonstration project has a total of 458.7 acres still in
production. Marketable papaya production in the area is 11 million pounds per year
most of which are Kapoho solo variety. Completion of the project will be at the end
of December 2002.
8. R&D submitted comprehensive changes to the agriculture section of the Hawaii
County General Plan. The recommended changes were incorporated in the final draft
of the revised Hawaii County General Plan.
9. The Real Property Tax Office implemented R&D's recommended categorization and
valuation of agricultural lands for tax assessment purposes.
10. The Big Island agriculture advocacy committee was transformed into a statewide
"Commodity Action Group". This group is now the agriculture lobbyist for the State
for issues relating to state policies and funding appropriations for water systems,
research and marketing projects.
11. R&D provided nine (9) promotion grants with a total amount of $73,500. These
funds were used to leverage an additional $96,000 of private funds, $76,750 of state
funds and $31,000 of federal funds. Ratio: 1:2.77

Program Description
The Department of Research and Development's tourism program strengthens and
expands the tourism industry on the Island of Hawaii by 1) marketing the island to
wholesalers, agents, consumers, airlines and other visitor-related businesses overseas
through cooperative partnerships; 2) providing seed grants and matching fund
contributions to community groups for the development of tourism products and
programs; and 3) supporting efforts to create/develop new island attractions/experiences
to add to our island's "mystique" and uniqueness.
Program ~ibjectives
1. Partner with the Big Island Chapter of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau,
Big Island Group and other appropriate organizations in advertising and marketing
programs by June 2003.
2. Provide funding and/or support to at least six (6) festivals and two (2) sporting events
that attract visitors to the Island of Hawaii.
3. Provide at least three (2) seed grants to community groups to develop tourism
products and/or programs that enhance the culture and visitor experience.
Increase the inventory of tourism resources to facilitate in the planning and
development of tourism programs for the Island of Hawaii by June 2003.
Program Highlights
The health and welfare of Hawaii County's tourism program is contingent upon its
cooperative relationships and partnerships of the many supportive businesses, agencies,
groups, and associations which continuously pursue the development of tourism
programs for the Island. These organizations provide valuable resources and expertise to
support and work with the Department of Research and Development in addressing the
needs of the visitor industry.
While the economic conditions of the U.S. and international markets directly affect the
stability of Hawai' i visitor industry, the education and awareness of the attributes of the
cultures and traditions of Hawaii continues to see growth.
The department's goal is to increase the number of visitors and/or their length of stay on
the Island of Hawaii. The total number of visitors fell 3.0 percent to 1,267,966 during
2000, largely due to a drop in multiple island visitors. Those who stayed exclusively on
this island increased by 2.3% to 462,470 visitors.

TOURISM
Program Highlights
The cruise ship industry provided for a total of 157,828 passengers/119 ships to the
island's ports, an increase of 55% from the previous fiscal year. The increases were
attributed to the addition of the MS Patriot to the weekly port visits and 29 more foreign
ships during the same period last year.
Another goal is to improve the quality of the visitor "experience" through product
development and visitor satisfaction programs. The department executed 11 contracts
totaling $354,000 for activities such as visitor greetings, marketing, cooperative
advertising, cultural festivals, and special events.
