Re: Operating Budget = c~
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is
providing a $60,000 Public Health Preparedness and Response from Bioterrorism Grant to the
Hawaii County Fire Department for the purchase of afully-equipped trailer configured for use as a
medical response unit to mass casualty incidents as a result of weapons of mass destruction or
natural disaster.
At the Finance Committee meeting held on September 17, 2003, Resolution No. 100-03,
authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Health & Human
Services, was recommended for adoption. However, there was no accompanying appropriation bill
for this grant.
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating this $60,000
Public Health Preparedness and Response from Bioterrorism Grant.
In order to have this bill heard together with Resolution No. 100-03 at the next Council meeting on
October 7, 2003, we request a waiver from the Finance committee.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Fire Department.

RE: Amendment to the Operating Budget -Appropriating $60,000 Public Health
Prepazedness and Response from Bioterrorism Grant
Pursuant to Section 1(g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawaii, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Committee on Finance to the full Council for immediate action. In reviewing
this matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore advantageous that approval is granted and
the matter placed onto the next Council agenda for review. However, in the event this request is
denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the Committee on
Finance for placement on its future agenda.
