DATE: February 21, 2007 Re: Comm. No. 171Bi11 No. 49

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 49, reports as follows:
Bill No. 49, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication No. 171,
dated February 5, 2007, amends Ordinance No. 06-80, as amended, the Capital Budget, ending
June 30, 2007, by adding the following project:
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT:
Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant 110.699.5693.18 $300,000
Aeration Upgrade Project
Funds for this appropriation increase shall be provided from:
General Obligation Bonds, Capital Projects Fund - $300,000
Fund Balance and/or other Sources
The Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant Aeration system upgrade is required since the
existing Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) mass loading to
the facility are higher than design values which has resulted in a reduction of plant treatment
capacity. The upgrading of the aeration system will return the plant capacity to existing design
value of 5.3 million gallons per day (MGD) which is required to accommodate the planned
growth in the Kona area.
Pursuant to Section 10-6(d), Hawai`i County Charter, the Council may amend the Capital Budget
for that year with atwo-thirds vote.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 49 and
recommends it pass first reading.
