Higa, Chair, and Council embers FROM: Fred C. Holschuh, M.D. Chai ~ ' Committee on Human Services and Economic Development SUBJECT: €~ecornrnended FY05-06 Appropriations for Grants to Nonprofit ®rganizations For your review and consideration, I am transmitting my recommendations regarding the funding of qualified nonprofit organizations for fiscal year 2005-06. These recommendations have been developed pursuant to a thorough review of all applications forwarded by the Finance Department and the interviews- and site visits conducted by the special committee established by Council for this purpose. Publicly noticed interviews and site visits were conducted with all applicant organizations on March 10th and 11th in Milo and March 17 in Kona. This year, a total of 34 agencies submitted a total of 43 eligible applications. The sum of $1,218,762 was requested for which the Council has available $900,000 to appropriate. Of these 43 applications, thirty-one programs funded by the Counfiy previously, sought funding increases this year, including Child and Family Service which did not submit a timely application for the 2004-05 funding cycle. Eight programs requested fiunds identical to their FY2004-05 grant awards. Four new agencies (not funded in prior years) submitted prog-ram funding requests. They are Hawai`i's Volcano Circus for its performing arts program ($30,000); Hui Okinawa for its children's cultural day camp ($3,680); Laupahoehoe Train Museum for its sustainability and outreach program ($75,000) and the Three Ring Ranch Animal Sanctuary for its after school program ($12,380). Due to a staff turnover, the YMCA did not submit a timely application. In developing my FY2005-06 funding recommendations, (focused on three priorities. 1. First, to maintain continuing funding of long-supported "safety net" social services, with only minor funding adjustments. I placed particular emphasis on those services most closely aligned with core county services youth recreation and drug prevention/rehabilitation programs, as well as the elderly, disabled, homeless and domestic abuse programs. Examples of such programs include the Boy's and Girl's Club of Hawaii, the Salvation Army youth programs in East and West Hawaii, the YWCA "Ekahi" Hamakua Youth Center, the East Hawaii Coalition for the Homeless shelter, the Care-A-Van, Food Bank and Mobile Care programs of the Office for Social Ministry, Hilo and Kona ARC, Hilo and Kona Adult Day Care Centers, and the Turning Point for Families West Hawaii Shelter for abused women. C®= Nye . j~ Rif. To; l~~~ Ref. n®e~ Hawai `i County Is Atr Equut Optportunity Provider And Empt~per 2. Secondly, I emphasized support for those programs that are not typically funded or mandated by the State of Hawaii. Examples include the two Children's Justice Centers, the family centers operated by Family Support Services of West Hawaii in Ka'u and North Kohala, and the Special Olympics Hawaii programs. I remain concerned about the degree to which County grants have long supplemented services that are the fundamental and lawful responsibility of the State of Hawaii, in particular Department of Health and Judiciary programs. Such programs have merit and benefit the community. But I advise a shift away from the County acting as a long-term, supplemental or surrogate funder of state-mandated programs. Examples include the YWCA Sexual Assault Victim Empowerment program administered by a State Department of Health master contract, and the two mediation centers established by the Judiciary. I do, however, recommend modest grant support for the four new programs: $15,000 for the Hawaii Volcano Circus "Puna Performing Arts Festival, $3,000 for Hui Okinawa's Cultural Day Camp resource training program, $35,000 for Laupahoehoe Train Museum's Sustainability and Outreach program, and $6,000 for Three Ring Ranch Exotic Animal Sanctuary's after school program. These programs focus on providing activities for the youth of our county, to educate and motivate them, allowing them to realize a way of life that does not leave room for drugs and/or other malfeasant activities. 3. Finally, as was done last year, I propose that we again transfer the HCEOC transportation grant into the Mass Transit Agency budget under the same Miscellaneous Contract Services account number for itemized expenses for Special Needs Transportation, Account No. 010-311-5311.02- 115 (T). This was done last year with the understanding that the entire HCEOC transportation funding would be included in the Mass Transit budget. And in fact, Mass Transit did include a $145,000 budget item for HCEOC. This amount, however, did not take into effect the sharp rise in the cost of fuel and other transportation related expenses, and HCEOC submitted its revised request for $75,000 to make up for the expected shortfall. Therefore, it is my suggestion that we make this transfer as a one time courtesy to HCEOC, in respect for the wonderful job the agency does in providing assistance and services to our elderly and disabled. However, HCEOC and other agencies must be reminded that transportation requests are no longer a part of our grant program, and hereinafter, the applications must not be considered. The net effect of this fund transfer will not alter the commitment or funding amount by the County to the HCEOC and its transportation programs. Special needs transportation is traditionally a core municipal or county function. It is a component of our County's delivery of transit services. Accordingly, transfer of these monies to the Mass Transit Agency comports with the provisions of Chapter 2, Article 14, Section 2-78 of the Hawaii County Code, which states: "The lransportaliora coordinator shall have direct responsibdlity for /he adnrinis(ra(ion and operation of C'ozinly nurss~ transportation service, whether such .service is provided directly, loinily, or under contract with private parties. " For these reasons, I continue to support the shift of Council "social service grants" for transportation into the Mass Transit Agency budget. I have discussed this with Mr. Tom Brown, Mass Transit administrator, and have requested that he include this amount in his future budgets. I thank Chair Safarik and my colleagues for their support and attendance at the interviews and site visits. Thanks also to HSEDC vice chair Higa for reviewing these documents. I also want to express the appreciation of all of us on the HSEDC Committee for the excellent work done on this review by our Legislative Auditor personnel, Susan Caseria and Amy Miwa, and the support assistance of the Council Committee staff, Jeannette Aiello and Donna Watanabe. Finally, I must express my gratitude and privilege for being able to chair this committee. During my long emergency medicine career on the Big Island, it has always been apparent what wonderful and diligent work these non-profit agencies do for our island's people.
