Re: Operating Budget
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a $347,200 South Kona

plan, an environmental impact statement, and other planning activities.
Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the United

Grant.
Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating this
$347,200 grant.
