Re: Comm. No. 567/Bill No. 251
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 251, reports as follows:
Bill No. 251. transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication No. 567, dated March 23,
2004, amends Ordinance No. 03-90, as amended, the Capital Budge[, ending June 30, 2004, by adding the
following project:

Puainako Sewer Improvement District Project 110-699-5691.44 $100.000
Funds for these projects shall be provided from general obligation bonds, capital projects, fund-fund balance
and/or other sources.
On March 5, 2004 the Hawaii County Council adopted Resolution No. 157-04 which authorized an improvement
district implementation study for the construction of certain wastewater and sewer system improvements for
Waiakea, District of South Hilo, Hawaii. It also directed the Director of Environmental Management to prepare
for submission to the Council, a broad regional sewerage master plan for the Waiakea region 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.
Council Member Curtis "l~yler discussed the reimbursement ofthese funds with Peter Boucher, Wastewater
Administer Division C hief, and found out that all taxpayers on this island were not paying for this improvement
district.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 251 and recommends it pass first
reading.
