Mayor Kim asked that I share the enclosed a-mail message from Mike Ben, Director of Personnel,
with all departments. In his message, Mike proposes additional reductions to his FY 2002-03 budget.
The aspect of this proposal that is noteworthy is that these reductions were not solicited. Mike was
simply moved to do more, recognizing the seriousness of our revenue shortfall.
The Department of Civil Service, like any other department in the County, continues to struggle to
make ends meet. But it knows what it takes to survive these tough times-and has taken a positive
step in this direction. We thank Mike and his staff for the sincerity and spirit shown.

Bill
Having gone through the 7.7% exercise, I cannot, in good conscience, have our budget submitted
as originally proposed to the Council. For the amended budget for May, I would like the following
changes made.
5151.02.106 Printing ($1,051)
5151.02.115 Misc.. Contract Services ($500)
5151.02.337 Subscription ~ Membership ($787)
5152.02.103 Janitorial Services ($1100)
5152.02.337 Subscription & Membership ($3i~0)
I know the amount is miniscule in relation to the total budget, but it's a matter of creditability. The
above reductions would not have an impact on services, and I don't think it proper for the Mayor
to be testifying that our budget is at the bare minimum to continue to provide the services we
already have, when I have the above amounts in my budget.
Please call me at 8361 if you have questions.
Aloha,
Michae9 R. Lien, SPHR
