~UI3GE'I` 1~TESSAGE FY 2002-2003
The Hawaii County Police Department is submitting a proposed budget for Fiscal Year
2002-2003 of $34,880,197.00. The amount is $2,179,447 (6.2%) more than the $32,700,70.00
budgeted for our current fiscal year 2001-2002. The increase is due primarily to:
~ Salary and wage increases for:
~ Collective bargaining increases of 5.1
~ Reallocation of positions totaling approximately $12,480:
- (1) Data Program Analyst I;
- (2) Clerk III;
- (1) Secretary;
- (1) Firearms Registration Clerk;
- (1) Fingerprint Classifier II;
- (1) Senior Clerk Steno
~ Overtime:
~ Sworn and Civilian personnel manpower shortage due to vacancies from
retirements, terminations, long term worker's compensation cases, etc. Currently
our department has fifteen (15) sworn vacancies, eight (8) civilian vacancies, and
thirteen (13) long term worker's compensation cases.
• Pay increases of 5.1
~ Our overtime account fails to keep up with our current personnel needs.
Therefore overtime is spent to supplement primarily Dispatch and Field
Operations, not to mention work on Holiday, investigative call outs, and other
emergency calls for service, i.e. flooding, September 1 lth incident, etc.
~ Since 1994 our staff has increased by 50 positions, that included 30 community
policing and 20 cellblock positions (resulting from Konno Vs County of Hawaii)
agreement with SHOPO. More importantly at least 27 of these positions have
directly affected our budget during the last year of so. The affect being increased
overtime cost resulting from holiday, investigative, court appearance and other
overtime pay.
Other Current Expenses:
~ Increase in fuel costs approximately $596,000.00 (39% increase)
: Increase in utilities cost, electricity and telephone.$998,700.00 (8.9% increase)
• Increase in insurance cost. $623,481.00 (49.2% increase)

• Increase in maintenance costs
- Microwave system $119,916.00 (77.7% increase)
-Records Management System $99,000.00 (100% increase)
• Addition of Byrne Memorial Grant required match ($160,000).
Of the $34,880,197.00 total $2,799,485 (8.0%) is from federal and state grants and the remaining
$32,080,712.00 (92%) is from the County's General Fund. Of this total $24,970,075 (77.9%) is
earmarked for salaries and wages accounts, $6,990,762.00 (21.8%) for other current expense
accounts and $119,875.00 (.4%) for equipment accounts.
The salary and wages are further broken down into different accounts, they are as follows:
• Regular Salaries and Wages $22,542,775.00 (90.3%)
• Overtime Wages $2,068,000.00 (8.3%)
• Miscellaneous Salaries and Wages $359,300.00 (1.4%)
Of the $2,179,447.00 increase in the proposed budget, discounting increase in state and federal
grants of $196,606.00, the increase in the general fund portion is $1,982,841.00. Of this increase
$1,486,433.00 (75%) is earmarked for salaries and wages accounts, and the remaining
$496,408.00 (25%) for other current expense accounts, which includes the increase for the Byrne
grant match.
Due to the County's economic forecast and the resulting limited revenues, we are unable to
budget for increased funding in certain areas, which may become critical during the fiscal year.
• Overtime accounts -for reasons mentioned above.
• Administration -Equipment Repair/Maintenance account for Records.
• Administration -Increase in maintenance costs due to additional radio sites required
when relocation form 2 GHZ to 6 GHZ
