Re: Resolution relating to the transfer of fund to support the Seniors Health Fair
Enclosed for your review and approval is resolution transferring/appropriating $4,000.00 out and
from the Clerk/Council Services-Contingency Relief account and crediting the same to Parks and
Recreation Department, Elderly Activities Division, Nutrition Program. Its purpose is to provide
free bus transportation for senior citizens to attend the 2002 and 2003 Senior Health Fairs in Hilo
and Kona. Each year, the Hawaii County Council has made these events accessible by
providing funds in support of the seniors from the outlying rural areas of our Island. Mayor
Harry Kim has approved the transfer.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Mayor Kim,
Each year, the Elderly Activities Division of the Parks and Recreation Department
sponsors a health fair for seniors, to provide the latest updated information on health
issues, and vital health screening such as flu shots, and glucose and cholesterol testing.
Each year, we have been supported by the Hawaii County Council, which has provided the
funds for buses to bring in seniors from the outlying rural areas of our island. The
upcoming East Hawaii PrimeTime Health Fair will be held on Friday, October 18, at the
Hilo Hawaiian Hotel (see attached flyer). We are very excited to have Dr. Shintani
coming to speak on "The Good Carbohydrate Revolution" this year. His message will be
heard by approximately 600-700 seniors coming from the Honokaa, Hamakua, Hilo, Puna
and Kau districts.
The West Hawaii PrimeTime Health Fair will be held next Spring, and will include
approximately 600 seniors from the Waimea, Kohala, Kona, and Oceanview districts.
We would like to ask for your approval to use $4,000 from the Hawaii County Council's
contingency fund for these two PrimeTime Health Fairs this fiscal year. Please call me if
there are any questions at 961-8726. Mahalo for your support!
