Your Committee on Human Services & Economic Development, to which was referred
Communication No. 745, reports as follows:
Communication No. 745 is a letter from the Director of Finance, Harry Takahashi, dated
February 6, 1998, transmitting the applications of the qualifying non-profit agencies for review
and appropriation of funds for the 1998-1999 fiscal year. Communications 745.01-745.06 are
letters of support for specific applicants. Communication No. 745.07 is a memorandum from
Councilman John Ray dated April 13, 1998, that recommends the non-profit organization awards
for the 1998-1999 fiscal year
The recommendations of the grant review committee were made after site visitations to all grant
applicants, pursuant to Section 2-139 (a)(3) of the Hawai i County Code (Revised and
Republished 1995). Following the site visitations, the Committee on Human Services &
Economic Development held meetings on March 16, 1998 in Hilo and on March 19, 1998 in
Kona to hear presentations by and ask questions of the applicants. Chairman Ray explained in
detail how the grants review committee, consisting of two legislative auditor assistants and his
council aide, arrived at the recommended funding amounts. These details and factors are
outlined in Communication No. 745.07.
Your Committee heard discussion on raising the funding recommendation for the Hamakua
Health Center. The chair indicated that since the Hamakua Health Center was applying for a
different program than the one funded in the previous three years, the application was viewed as
a funding request for a new program. The amount of $10,000 was seen as sufficient to
accomplish the outreach mission of the Childhealth Access Program.
Chairman Ray indicated that he was open to amending the recommendations. Council members
agreed that any amendment to alter proposed funding should proceed following a comprehensive
analysis of impacts involving affected agencies. Committee members approved the
recommendations and commended the grants review committee for their work.
Your Committee on Human Services & Economic Development recommends that the Council
funding for non-profit organizations for the 1998-1999 fiscal year be as follows:
