Chung, Chair Committee on Finance FROM: Liana Cox ~ , ~ - _ Legislative Assistant RE: Resolution No. 179 Your Committee, at its meeting of November 18, 1997, passed Resolution No. 179 which urges the State Department of Transportation, Airports Division, to implement recommendations as delineated in the Hilo International Airport FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program Report. During the meeting, staff was requested to reseazch any economic disadvantages should military training flights be diverted to other airports as recommended in the report. In response to this request, I contacted Mr. Lazry Balbazino, Hilo Airport District Manager, who informed me that the airport receives no direct funding from the military for training flights; therefore, prohibiting their usage would not economically have an impact on the airport. However, Mr. Balbazino did state that the airport does receive federal funding for construction and recourse may betaken by the federal government for disallowing military usage. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call. APPROVED: Constance Kiriu ~ J i 1-=^ Legislative Auditor its STFt Presented ¢U1tG+~ flat. Te+ ~ 0 2 i 1 lEet. D~ete_ -
