Arakaki, Chair and Council Members FROM: Michae u ang Council Member RE: Bill 237, Drag 2 Operating Budget FY 2004-2005 The purpose of this amendment is to allow time for the Administration and the Council to deliberate on a waste reduction facility plan that will be feasible and effective for the citizens of Hawaii County. Construction of acounty-funded sort station may not be warranted depending upon the results of the waste reduction facility request for proposals (RFP). It is premature to commit a substantial investment of funds and personnel towards a project that has the potential of being coupled with a private facility. Also proposed is the deletion of a maintenance facility solely for the Department of Environmental Management's operations. We should be looking at the consolidation of similar resources and the efficiencies of our County equipment maintenance operations. It should be of concern that the Solid Waste Fund will increase $4,832,864, or 27.7%. Supporting this increase is the General Fund transter of $10,303,656. This represents a General Fund subsidy increase of $2,407,178 or 23.4% in one year. At this rate, the Solid Waste Fund (Draft 2-$17,458,896) will surpass the Fire Department's budget ($24,857,403) in the near future. Further, the dependence of General Fund transfers is projected to continue at this level, if not increase. I propose to amend the FY 2005 Operating Budget by decreasing the General Fund transfer to Solid Waste Fund by $502,472, and transferring those monies to the Council Contingency account. This adjustment will be retained for future transfer back to the Solid Waste Fund pending updates from the Administration on the Request for Information and Request for Proposals. The adjustments to the Solid Waste Fund, General Fund and the deletion of the new positions are reflected below: Comm. No, 52'1.30 '~f. To: Preseefed ~tef.
