The Greetings Program is intended to provide <br /> services to enhance the experience of arriving and/or departing island visitors. The funds will be used <br /> to plan, develop, and operate this program. With $75,000 already appropriated in this fiscal year's <br /> budget, the additional funds will bring the total appropriation to $250,000. <br /> <br /> Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating this additional <br /> $175,000 into the Greetings Program account. <br /> In order to expedite this matter and have the funds appropriated this fiscal year, the Department of Research <br /> and Development would like to request a waiver from the Finance Committee and have this bill heard at the <br /> Council meeting scheduled for June 5, 2006. <br /> <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Research and Development. <br /> C . <br /> 1 <br /> <br /> William Ta aba <br /> Director of Finance <br /> <br /> APPROVED: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Harry Kim <br /> 4 Mayor Q <br /> Enc.
