RE: Amendments to the 2004-2005 Operating Budget, Ordinance No. 04-74, Highway Fund
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance to amend the 2004-2005 Operating Budget, Ordinance No"
04-74, Highway Fund. The recent approval of Ordinance No. 04-66, which raised the annum
motor vehicle weight tax for vehicles, trucks, or trailers registered in the County of Hawaii
effective January 1, 2005, prompts us to propose this amendment as reflected in the attached
exhibits. The estimated increase in revenue generated effective January 1, 2005 through
June 30, 2005 totals $1,015,796.
The corresponding increase in expenditure appropriations for the Highway Maintenance and
Traffic Divisions of the Department of Public Works, totals $677,536 for the following:
1. Fund existing (11) Laborer positions for 6 months.
2. Add (7) new Laborer positions and also fund them for 6 months.
3. Add associated costs with new positions/equipment -such as safety equip/tools, equip
repairs, fuel/tube, equip parts.
4. Additional contract for services for Traffic Signs and Markings to catch up on back logged
work.
The Mass Transit Agency services amounts to $338,260 for increased bus service around the
island and for use as a local match for federal funds.
Also enclosed is a resolution creating the seven (7) Laborer II positions for the Highway
M intenance Division.

Bus service would operate between Ocean View, Naalehu, and Pahala,
providing after school transportation within the district.
3. Intra Kona Service
Additional service would operate between Kealia and Kailua, providing
eight hours of service per day.

Additional service will provide one round trip per day between Ocean and
the South Kohala resorts (primarily for workers). It will also be available
for workers residing in Kona to travel to South Kohala, and provide an
additional intra Kona bus route.
5. Local match for Federal funds
Funds will be used as a local match for Federal grants. Agency intends to
enter into a pilot program with the Federal Transit Administration called
