RE: Communication No. 569 -Fuel Tax Increase Proposal
Attached is the information requested by Council Chairperson Arakaki that shows the
budgetary effect of eliminating the six requested equipment operators and their equipment.
There would be ahalf--cent ($0.005) savings in the administration's fuel tax proposal.
Without these requested positions, the Highway Maintenance Division will not be able to
maintain its grass cutting schedule and will continue to fall behind in their work.
Department of Public Works Highway Maintenance Division Budget Narrative for FY
2004-OS (Page 6 annotated and 7).
These two pages, one of which has been revised, shows the annual savings by eliminating the
six equipment operators and their equipment from the administration's fuel tax proposal.
(The originals were previously submitted as part of Communication No. 569.1.)
Fuel Tax 2004 -Highlights (Page 3 of 5)
This revised page has changes shown in italic. The revised costs are then used to determine
the needed fuel tax increase. For this case scenario, it would be 3.5 cents. The
administration's proposal is for 4.0 cents, so there would be a half-cent ($0.005) savings.
(The original was previously submitted as part of Communication No. 569.1.)

Hamakua Baseyard - $700 000 (Account No 5301 02-115)
Construction of a new baseyard facility is requested due to the condition of the present facility. The
present warehouse is an old military quonset but building that has a leaking roof, electrical problems
and requires high maintenance. It has become too small for the storage of our current equipment and
supplies. Also, the present facility is not on County property. A possible site (on County property) has
been located in the Paauilo area. This would centralize operations for the North Hilo/Hamakua
districts and make operations more efficient.
Hamakua Road's Office/Misc Eouioment - $8 860 (Account Nos 5301 06 450 and 5301 06 480)
Various office and miscellaneous equipment purchases are requested for the new Hamakua Road
Baseyard.
Roadside Maintenance - Fencino - $190 000 (Account No 5301 76 1151
Fencing installation is requested for new buildings at Hamakua, Kona, Kau and Puna Baseyards.
This will protect our equipment/facilities and deter vandalism.
