Arakaki <br /> Chairman <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street, Room 209 <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Dear Council Chairman Arakaki and Council Members, <br /> Thank you for your kind words and support of our department's efforts to achieve our goals and <br /> objectives as detailed in our Strategic Plan. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss our <br /> budgetary needs and requests before you. <br /> I would like to provide you with an initial response to your inquiries during our budget testimony. <br /> • Volcano Fire Station - FY 2004!05 CIP <br /> An additional $602,000 is budgeted in FY 05-06 CIP for start-up costs and the purchase of <br /> equipment that will equip a new fire station facility for the Volcano community and adjacent <br /> areas. The present Volcano fire station is situated on Federal property with fire protection <br /> services presently provided with Federal funding. Once the County takes over these <br /> services in January 2005, there will be a requirement to fund the purchase of equipment. <br /> Existing fire stations do not require this additional cost due to the transfer of existing <br /> equipment from their present fire station. <br /> • Site Visits -Proposed Fire Administration Complex <br /> Site visits have been scheduled on Wednesday, April 14, 2004, at about 12:00 p.m., <br /> (following our monthly Fire Commission meeting) at five possible locations for our future Fire <br /> Administration complex. <br /> As you will note, the former Sun Sun Lau building has been included in this list. Because <br /> this site had been proposed earlier and continues to be viewed as having potential, it will be <br /> included in a formal evaluation. As with any of the potential sites, all pros and cons will be <br /> identified to support effective and qualified decision making. <br /> I . I p CPU CpGy <br /> Comm. No. - _ < <br /> Ref.
