Nos. 486 and 486.1 PLACE: Council Chambers 'T'IME: 10:10 a.m. Council Chair and Members tlawai'i County Council Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Your Committee on Human Services and Economic Development, to which was referred Communication No. 486 and 486.1 reports as follows: In response to the annual solicitation issued by the Department of Finance, forty-tour (44) grant proposals were received by the application deadline of January 31, 2004. Via Communication No. 486. dated February 3, 2004. your HSEDC chair transmitted bound copies of the 44 grant applications to Council members for review. Interviews of all grant applicants were conducted on March 9-10, 2004 in Kona and Hilo. respectively. Upon completion of this grant review process, your Chair and HSEDC nonprofit working group assembled the funding recommendations and narrative overview submitted to Council Members via Communication No. 486.1. Communication No. 486.1, dated March 25, 2004, from Fred Holschuh, Chair ofthe Committee on Human Services and Economic Development (HSEDC), transmitted recommendations of the HSEDC Chair and nonprofit working group for funding of nonprofit organizations for fiscal year 2004-05. Provided therein is a compilation of proposed nonprofit appropriations showing the various categories of human services represented by grant applicants, and prior year county funding in fiscal year 2003-04. In formulating its funding recommendations, your Chair and nonprofit working group composed of Legislative Auditor's Oftice staff Rory Flynn, Susan Caseria and Donald Ikeda along with Councilmember I3ob .tacobson, attempted to assess the merits and contributions of each applicant, to provide a continuum of funding to programs addressing longstanding and crucial social needs, to fairly apportion funds among all nine Council districts, and to give fair consideration to new programs. The Chair and working group recommended minor funding adjustments for FY 2004-OS to those agencies and programs that have received county support in FY 2003-04. "Phis action would appropriate $895,500 of the $900,000 and have available $4,500 for two new grants, American Red Cross-Caregiving ($2,500) and Turning Point for Families, Inc.-Rural Outreach Project ($2,000). Your Committee is concerned about the degree to which County grants have supplemented services that arc the responsibility of the State of Hawaii, in particular the Department of Health and Judiciary programs. These programs have merit and benefit the community, but we advise a shift away from the County acting as a long-term supplemental funder ofstate-mandated programs. For this reason, your Committee does not recommend funding the $200,000 request from Helping Hands Hawaii. This mental health program anticipates cost reimbursement receipt of $920,000 in FY 2004-OS from the State of Hawaii. Finally, your committee strongly concurs with the Administration's initiative to place transportation grants traditionally funded by the Council into the Mass Transit Agency budget. Your Committee proposes the transfer of three long-funded transportation grants into the Mass Transit Agency budget under a new Miscellaneous Contract Services account number for itemized expenses for Special Needs ~~ransportation, Account No. 010-311-5311.02-115. Each transfer is identical to the amount awarded in the FY 2003-04 appropriation as follows: 1. [3rantley Center, Ina (Transportation) $ 21,000 2. Hamakua Health Center (Transportation) $ 8.000 3. Hawaii County Economic Opportunity Council (Transportation) $145,000 'total - Transfer to Mass Transit Agency budget: $174,000 The net effect of these fund transfers will not alter the commitment or funding amount by the County to the agencies above and their respective transportation programs. The amounts proposed for transfer are identical to grants awarded to each of these agencies in FY 2003-04. The recommended FY 2004-OS nonprofit appropriations are as follows: AGENCY-PROGRAM NAME FY03-04 FY04-05 Proposed Grant Award Request FY04-OS Grant American Red Cross -Hawaii State Chapter 0.00 7,000 2,500 Care ivin American Red Cross -Hawaii State Chapter 5,000 0.00 0.00 Communit Safet Education The ARC of Hilo 29,000 30,000 29,000 Person Centered Adult Su orts Bay Clinic, Inc. 20,000 26,000 18,000 Violence Intervention Pro ect BISAC-EastHawai'i 27,000 40,000 27,000 East Hawaii Substance Abuse Pr ram BISAC- West Hawaii 27,000 40,000 27,000 West Hawaii Substance Abuse Pm ram Boy and Girls Club of the Big Island 38,000 50,000 45,000 SMART Moves Brantley Center, Inc. 21,000 25,000 Transfer to Trans ortation Program Mass Transit Bridge House, Inc. 17,000 18,000 18,000 Vocational Skill Buildin Pro ram Center for Independent Living -East & West Hawaii 15,000 20,000 15,000 Inde endent Livin Services Child and Family Service 5,000 0.00 0.00 N/A Diabetes Network of Hawaii County 8,000 10,000 8,000 Develo in a Healthier Lifest le Series East Hawaii Coalition for the Homeless 37,500 39,000 38,000 Kihei Pua Eme enc Shelter East Hawaii Coalition for the Homeless 2,500 3,500 3,000 Kihei Pua Transitional Housin Pro ram Family Support Services of West Hawaii 48,000 65,000 49,500 Famil Centers Friends of the Children's Justice Center of East Hawaii 13,000 15,000 13,000 S ecial Needs, Enhancement, Center Su ort, Prevention/Educalion Friends of the Children's Justice Center of West Hawaii 13,000 15,000 13,000 Enhancement and Basic Needs P ram Goodwill Industries of Hawaii, Inc. 10,000 20,000 10,000 Work Ex erience Pro ram Ham3kua Health Center 8,000 10,000 Transfer to Trans ortation Mass Transit Hawaii County Economic Opportunity Council 145,000 145,000 Transfer to Trans ortation Mass Transit Hawaii Island Adult Care, Inc. 15,500 25,000 15,500 Hilo Adult Da Center Hawaii Island HIV/AIDS Foundation (ex-West Hawaii AIDS Foundation) 15,000 15,000 15,000 Transmission HIV + prevention for Women in West Hawa7i Hawaii Island HIV/AIDS Foundation (ex-Big Island AIDS Project) 10,000 10,000 10,000 Multi-Disci lina HIV Case Mana ement, Hilo Helping Hands Hawaii 0.00 200,000 0.00 Hilo Assertive Community Treatment (ACT The Island of Hawaii YMCA Mediation Service 5,000 10,000 4,000 Ku 'ikahi Mediation Center The Island of Hawaii YMCA Youth-At-Risk 50,000 60,000 52,000 Youth Services Ka Hale O Na Keiki, Inc. 2,000 6,000 2,500 Families-At-Risk Pro~ect Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children 16,000 20,000 16,000 Title IV-B West Hawaii Counselin & Sup ortive Livin Pro ecf Kona Adult Day Center, Inc 15,000 15,000 15,000 Adult Da Care Kona ARC/ d.b.a.
