RESOLUTION NO. 508 08
A RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING/APPROPRIATING AN APPROPRIATION OUT
AND FROM THE DESIGNATED FUND ACCOUNT(S) AND CREDITING SAME TO
A DESIGNATED FUND ACCOUNT(S).
WHEREAS, the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) is a part of the world's largest
non-traditional educational system, the cooperative extension system, which can be found
throughout the United States; and
WHEREAS, the CES is a partnership between federal, state, and local government
responsible for providing science-based information and educational programs in agriculture,
natural resources, and human resources; and
WHEREAS, there is growing concern amongst the piggeries and members of the
agricultural community that the rising cost of commercially produced pig feed will cause
many piggeries to cease operations; and
WHEREAS, the current method of feeding swine non-commercial food involves
boiling collected slop, which causes an environmental nuisance and poses possible health
hazards to the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the CES is proposing a pilot program for production and testing of
reasonably priced alternative feed for swine using locally available resources, including slop,
that are traditionally considered waste products; and
WHEREAS, the proposed program is based on imported technology that is now
available on the Big Island, and utilizes steam and bio-microorganisms to make the final
products free from harmful pathogens; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project has significant implications if it proves to be
economically viable, as it will allow local producers to effectively compete against imported
feed and will eliminate dependency on these imported products; and
WHEREAS, funds are needed in order for the CES to implement this program; and
WHEREAS, Contingency Relief funds ($10,000) from Council District 3 will be
appropriated to the Department of Research and Development to help defray the cost for the
pilot project; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that
