Higa, Chairman and Members of the Hawai'i County Council Hawai'i County Council ,D 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, Hawai'i 96720 Re: Resolution Transferring Funds Enclosed is a resolution transferring $80,000 out and from the General Fund's Provision for Compensation Adjustment account and crediting $25,000 to the Civil Defense Agency's Salary and Wages account and $55,000 to the Unemployment Compensation account. There is a budget shortfall in the Civil Defense's account due to increases in 1) overtime costs arising from unusual amounts of emergencies and 2) temporary assignment costs during the deployment of the Civil Defense Administrator. Also, there is a need for additional funds in the unemployment compensation account as claims for the current year were more than expected. There are monies available in the Provision for Compensation Adjustment account as not all of the funds budgeted were needed by the various departments. Because of the urgency of having the funds transferred during this fiscal year, we would like to request a waiver from the Finance Committee and have this resolution heard at the Council meeting scheduled for June 21, 2006 in West Hawai'i. If/there ~arre any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Deanna Sako, Controller. Y (j Gum' William Takata Director of Finance APPROVED: aww Harry Kim Mayor Enc. 'L Comm.
