Bill 95 (attached) was drafted in consultation with the Finance Department upon request of my Human Services and Economic Development Committee. Its intent is to appropriate $2,000 to the Clerk-Council Services OCE Account No.010-101.5101,02.1 15 in order to commit funds during this current fiscal year Cor a fundraising skills-building workshop. The intended workshop (sessions to be held in both Hilo and Kona) will be offered later this year by S. Sanae Tokumura, a highly accomplished and advanced certified nonprofit fundraising professional. For your reference, a copy of her bio and credentials is attached to Comm. No. 126.4, taken up by the Human Services & Economic Development Committee nn April 15, 2003. In addition to her successful capital fund drives on behalf of the new Hilo I Iospice and Hilo Medical Center, her abilities come highly touted by Helen Hemmes of HIUW and Rarry Taniguchi of KTA. The requested appropriation action was supported in the unanimous I ISEDC committee transmittal 01' nonprofit funding recommendations to the lull Council on April I S'~'. With assistance from the Finance Department, Hill 95 has been prepared and numbered and a waiver from the Finance Committee (also attached) has already been approved to expedite this action. However, since the $2,000 to be appropriated is presently in a general fund Sundry Revenues-Prior Year account (resulting from a $9,991.13 refund of unspent grant monies from Kapiolani Medical Center), ibis bill should properly be initiated by your office. I would be most grateful if you could provide the customary letter of transmittal from your oflicc lair the introduction of Bill 95 to accomplish the appropriation as outlined above. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Legislative Auditor Connie Kiriu. Thank you. S'ncerely, Cs, R~ C Holschuh, M.D., Chair Human Services and Economic Development Committee Attachments: Rill 95 Waiver Comm. No. 126. l
