Early and persistent anti-social behavior was identified as a priority risk factor in <br /> Hawaii County. The community delinquency prevention program was offered to each school <br /> <br /> complex, and Honoka`a and Waiakea Elementary Schools have agreed to participate in the <br /> Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) curriculum. The PATHS curriculum <br /> facilitates development ofself-control, emotional awareness and interpersonal problem-solving <br /> skills, and reduces aggression and behavior problems. <br /> Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, county departments must obtain the consent <br /> of the council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting action to <br /> be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend and receive any funds <br /> or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those <br /> powers. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 471-06 <br /> <br /> and recommends its adoption. <br /> smc <br /> raves rvoes n&e ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> ARAKAKI X <br /> HIGA x COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> HOLSCHUH X <br /> [KEDA X <br /> ISBELL X <br /> ,IACOasoN x VIRG IA ISBELL, CHAIR <br /> rlLACO X FC REPORT NO. 343 <br /> SAFARIK X ADOPTED: OCT~O <br /> <br />
