Re: Monetary Contribution
Enclosed is a resolution accepting a monetary contribution of $100,000 from the AT&T
Foundation. The AT&T Foundation had invited the County of Hawaii to submit a grant
application to support the earthquake disaster relief on the Island of Hawaii after the two
earthquake struck our island on October 15, 2006. Mayor Harry Kim applied for and was
granted $100,000 from the AT&T Foundation. In the application, the identified project that
these monies will be applied is the restoration of a damaged water flume in Kohala (Kohala
Ditch).
Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating the
funds into the Kohala Ditch Repairs account.
Due to the existing Council rule governing reconsideration of legislation and because we
are close to the end of the fiscal year, we would like to request a waiver from the Finance
Committee and have this resolution and bill heard at the next Council meeting scheduled
for May 16, 2007.
If there aLe any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Office of Management.
