Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 252, reports as follows:
Bill No. 252, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication No. 417.5, dated March 23,
2004, amends Ordinance No. 03-90, as amended, the Capital Budget, ending June 30, 2004, by adding the
following project:
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT:
North Kona Sewer Improvement District Project 110-699-5697.82 $100,000
Funds for these projects shall be provided from general obligation bonds, capital projects, fund-fund balance
and/or other sources.
On December 17, 2003 the Hawaii County Council adopted Resolution No. 129-03, which authorized an
improvement district implementation study for wastewater and recycled water system improvements for
Kealakehe, Honokohau, Kaloko and Kohanaiki, District of North Kona, Hawaii. 1[ also directed the Director of
Environmental Management to prepare for submission to the Council a broad regional sewerage master plan for
the region north of Kealakehe and a specific detailed implementation plan for an improvement district. "These
funds will be used to conduct this study.
Originally heard on April 6, 2004, then again on April 19, 2004, this measure was deferred pending additional
information from the Department of Environmental Management.
Council Member Curtis Tyler discussed the reimbursement of these funds with Peter Boucher, Wastewater
Administer Division Chief, and found out that all taxpayers on this island were not paying for this improvement
district.
Yom Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 252 and recommends it pass first
reading.
