Honorable James Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Hawaii County Council
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, HI 96720
Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members of the County Council:
Resolution Authorizing Payment of Funds of a Later Fiscal Year
Consultant Services Contract - General Plan Revision Program
As you are aware, the Planning Department has commenced with the Hawaii County General
Plan Revision Program. The department will be hiring a consultant to do an assessment and
update of the economic assumptions, framework and elements of the plan. The 1997-98 FY
budget included $50,000 to do such a contract. However, in our negotiations with the
potential consultant, we are informed that the current appropriation is inadequate to cover the
contract cost. We have requested that the 1998-99 FY budget include an additional $100,000
for consultant services, $25,000 of which would be added to the current appropriation of
$50,000 to complete the economic study. Therefore, in order to authorize the payment of
funds from FY 1998-99, the attached resolution is being submitted for the County Council's
consideration.
We have also attached a copy of the draft contract for your information. Should you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me or Norman Hayashi.
Sincerely,
VIRGINIA tTN
Planning Director
