Arakaki, Council Chair And Council Members Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 SUBJECT: Bi11237, Draft 2 Operating Budget FY 2004-2005 On May 19, 2004, the proposed budget amendments requested in communication 52130 from Council Member Michael Tulang were accepted by the Council. The proposed amendments were intended to remove funding for the operations of an East Hawaii sort station and a maintenance facility. While the Department disagrees with this decision, we would like to request that any amendments regarding the these facilities reflect the appropriate costs. Attached for your consideration are schedules of the costs associated with the sort station and the new welder positions. Two items of particular concern with the adjustments made in communication 52130, are the removal of two '/4 ton trucks and the reduction of worker's compensation. The two'/< ton trucks are replacement trucks which are necessary to our ongoing operations. These trucks are used by the Transfer Station Attendents and are not related to either the Sort Station or Maintenance Facility. The reduction of worker's compensation is a concern because we do have some outstanding claims that we expect to be settled in the next fiscal year. Due to the short period of time budgeted for the new positions, the impact on worker's compensation should be minimal. ~~1~ Barbara Bell DIRECTOR cc: Mayor Harry Kim ~ SWD Comm. No. Ref.
