This measure authorizes the use of State Highway Funds for the road systems of the counties for FY 2005-2006; of which, $2,000,000 is allocated to the County of Hawai'i. However, the $2,000,000 operating funds authorization (S-06-305-W) will lapse on June 30, 2006, per Act 178, SLH 2005 and the State funds must be expended and/or encumbered by that date. Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance adding the Construction, Maintenance, & Repair of County Roads - State project for $2,000,000 to the Capital Budget. This project will cover the costs of construction, maintenance, and repair of county roads. Due to the lapsing of the State funds on June 30, 2006, the Department of Public Works respectfully request for waiver from the Finance Committee and to have this bill heard at the Council Meeting scheduled for June 5, 2006. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Public Works. William Ta a ~"s"-~ Director of Finance APPROVED: (14~ Harry Kim 1r Mayor Enc. Comm Noe Ref.

(SD1) HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 2423 TWENTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2006 H • B ¦ NON H.D. 1 STATE OF HAWAII S.D. 1 A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE HIGHWAY FUND. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 178, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, appropriated a total of $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2005-2006 from the state highway fund to the city and county of Honolulu ($4,000,000), the county of Hawaii ($2,000,000), the county of Maui ($2,000,000), and the county of Kauai ($2,000,000), as subsidies for county road work. The legislature also finds that section 248-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, authorizes the use of state highway fund moneys only for the state highway system. It does not authorize the use of such moneys for the road systems of the counties. The purpose of this Act is to authorize the use of moneys from the state highway fund for the road systems of the counties for fiscal year 2005-2006. SECTION 2. Section 248-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows: "§248-9 State highway fund.

It is the intent of this Act not to jeopardize the receipt of any federal aid nor to impair the obligation of the State or any agency thereof to the holders of any bond issued by the State or any such agency, and to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to effectuate this intent, the governor may modify the strict provisions of this Act, but shall promptly report any such modification with reasons therefor to the legislature at its next session thereafter for review by the legislature.
