COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: May 19, 1997 Re: Comm. No. 284
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 10:40 A.M.
Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 82, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 82, transmitted by Finance Director Harry Takahashi, via Communication
No. 284, dated Apri122, 1997, increases the time element of some Water Safety Officer II
positions allowing East Hawaii beaches to have eight hour daily coverage.
West Hawaii beaches presently have eight hour safety water services, unlike East Hawaii beaches
whose water safety officers begin their shifts at 10:15 A.M. Unfortunately, due to the lack of
coverage during the early morning hours, East Hawaii beaches have had drownings.
By increasing the time element of some water safety officers, two and ahalf (2'/z) hours of
additional water service coverage, training time and back-up during peak afternoon usage hours
would be obtainable.
There are sufficient funds in the Department of Parks and Recreation, Aquatic Division's
Regular Salaries and Wages account to cover the cost of the additional time element.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 82rand
recommends its adoption.
