PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 10:45 A.M.
Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 171-97, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 171-97, transmitted by Finance Director Harry Takahashi, via Communication
No. 537, dated October 9, 1997, abolishes Position No. 3850, Police Officer II, PO-07.
The aforementioned position was created by Resolution No. 23-95 to specifically combat the
problem of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor violations. The Department of
Transportation has since stopped all funding for this program; therefore the Police Department
has requested that this position be abolished.
Resolution No. 171-97 was originally heazd on November 4, 1997, and deferred pending
comments from the administration regazding the feasibility of maintaining the position with
County funds. Subsequently, Police Chief Wayne Carvalho reported that the Police Department
has temporarily assigned aCounty-funded Police Officer to replace the federally-funded
position.
Pursuant to Article V, Section 5-1.3(c), Hawaii County Chazter, the Mayor has the power to
create positions for which appropriations have been made by the Council and abolish positions
with the consent of the Council.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 171-97
and recommends its adoption.
