Re: Resolution for multi-year lease
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the payment of funds for more than one fiscal year
for the lease of one (1) Landfill Compactor for the Department of Environmental
Management Solid Waste Division. This new compactor will be used at the West
Hawaii landfill to maximize compaction of the trash, to reduce the airspace in the waste,
and to be in compliance with Department of Health regulations.
The Solid Waste Fund does not have the resources to purchase the referenced
equipment and therefore request the authority to enter in a lease agreement for five (5)
years. The funding for this lease is included within the current fiscal year's budget.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of
Environmental Management.

STAFF CONTACT: Michael Dworsky PHONE: 961-8515
A. REQUEST:
Resolution for the financing leasing of one (1) Landfill Compactor for a period of
five years for the West Hawaii landfill.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
Additional equipment is needed for:
Both Hilo and West Hawaii landfills have one (1) existing Catepillar
landfill compactor. The total tonnage of solid waste received at the
West Hawaii landfill is 1.7 times the total tonnage received at Hilo
landfill. The daily average at West Hawaii landfill was 394 tons for FY
2004-2005 as compared to 228 tons at Hilo landfill. The waste needs
to be covered by the end of each working day. Additional landfill
compactor is needed to maximize compaction of the trash, reduce the
airspace in the waste, and to be compliance with Department of
Health regulations.
The Solid Waste Fund does not have the resources to purchase the referenced
equipment, and therefore requests the authority to enter info a lease program to
finance the purchase over five years. Funding for the lease is budgeted in FY
2005-2006.
