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.

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.
The following table details FY2OO5-06 funding recommendations, including the transfer of the HCEOC
transportation grant to the Mass Transit Agency Budget.
