The Honorable Stacy K. Higa, Chairman,
and Members of the Hawaii County Council
County of Hawaii
Hilo, Flawai'i 96720
Dear Chairman Higa and Members of the County Council:
SUBJEC"f: SOLID WASTE FUND FUND BALANCE
Pursuant to Section 10-8 of the Hawaii County Charter relating to supplemental appropriations.
I am taking this means to certify that there is a balance of $2,673,496.12 in the Solid Waste Fund
fund balance as of June 30, 2005. As shown below, we are proposing the appropriation of
$1,200,000 of the fund balance to re-appropriate funds back to the Waikoloa Village Curbside
Study and to supplement the Repairs to Facilities, Fuels and Lubricants, and Building and
Construction Materials accounts.
Available Solid Waste Fund fund balance at FY end 06/30/05: $ 2,673,496.12
Less: Apyropricuions: 1,200,000.00
Remaining Fund Balance: $ 1,473,496.12
We are re-appropriating the funding for the Waikoloa Village Curbside Study (in the Recycling
Program -County OCE account) which was provided in the latter par[ of FY04-05 but had
lapsed. The project is now ready to begin with valuable input from the Waikoloa Community, to
determine if curbside service is practical, and feasible, in lieu of another transfer station.
We also find it necessary to supplement some of the Landfill - OCE accounts. In order to
improve public safety at the Hilo Transfer and Recycling Facility, a total of $550.000 is being
appropriated to the Repairs to Facilities account for road and paving improvements.
Additionalh~. the Fuels and Lubricants account needs $100.000 to cover Che rising fuels costs as
these arc projected to be 20 percent higher than fiscal year 2004-05. And, to extend the useful
life of the existing landfill and to avoid hauling to West Hawaii, $SOQ,000 in supplemental
funding for the Fuilding and Construction Materials account is needed for the construction of the
sliver fill at the South Hilo Sanitary Landfill.
The remaining fund balance of $1,473,496 will be used to reduce the General Fund's subsidy to
the Solid Waste Fund in die proposed FY2006-07 operating budget.

A. REQUEST:
To amend the Operating Budget for FY05-O6, Ordinance No. 05-86, to increase the Solid Waste Fund as
follows:
Revenues:
$1,200,000 085.3609.10 Fund Balance from previous year
Expenses:
$ 50,000 085.601.5610.02.115 Recycling Program -Waikoloa Village Curbside Study
$ 550,000 085.601.5604.02.110 Repairs to Facilities
$ 100,000 085.601.5604.02.218 Fuels and Lubricants
$ 500,000 085.601.5604.02.229 Building and Construction Materials
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
Funding for the Waikoloa Study is to re-appropriate funds that were provided in the latter part of FY04-05.
The project is now ready to begin with valuable input from the Waikoloa Community, to determine if curbside
service is practical, and feasible, in lieu of another transfer station.
Funds are needed in the Repairs to Facilities account for road and paving improvements at the existing Hilo
Transfer Station and Recycling facility. The Hilo Transfer Station entrance and egress exits are at an
impossible angle to properly see merging traffic, so a short one way out with paving is recommended.
Paving the recycling facility will improve public safety by reducing flying rock from spinning tires and provide
for smoother unloading.
Funds are needed in the Fuels and Lubricants account to cover the rising fuel costs. Fuel costs are
projected to be about 20 percent higher than fiscal year 2004-2005.
Funds for Building and Construction Materials are needed for the construction of the sliver fill at the South
Hilo Sanitary Landfill.
