RESOLUTION CREATING A DRIVER LICENSE EXAMINER I (2/5T)
POSITION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
WHEREAS, Ordinance 07-82 provided for the creation of a separate division
within the Department of Finance, which consolidated vehicle registration and driver's
licensing services for the County; and
WHEREAS, on July 2008, the driver's licensing duties officially transferred from
the Police Department to the Department of Finance; and
WHEREAS, prior to this change, road tests in the Ka'u district were performed by
uniformed Police Officers and the other driver's licensing services were provided by the
Ka'u Police clerical staff; and
WHEREAS, since July 2008, examiners from the Hilo and Kona offices have had
to travel to Ka'u twice a week to continue these services as the Police Department
personnel were no longer performing them; and
WHEREAS, this has placed a burden on the Hilo and Kona offices to maintain its
level of services to the public and has incurred unanticipated travel expenses; and
WHEREAS, with the implementation of the federally mandated Real ID program
in the near future, the workload of the licensing staff will significantly increase; and
WHEREAS, the creation of a Driver License Examiner I (2/5T), SR-16, position in
Ka'u will ensure the residents in that district are served and will lessen the shortage of
staff and subsequent interruption of service within the other district offices; and
WHEREAS, there are sufficient funds in the Department of Finance Driver
License's Regular Salaries and Wages account (010.121.5127.01.011); and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 5-1.3(c) of the Hawaii County Charter states that
the Mayor has the power to "Create positions...forwhieh appropriations have been
made by the council...".
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY
OF HAWAII that a Driver License Examiner I (2/5T), SR-16, position be created in the
Department of Finance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that there are sufficient funds in the Department of
Finance Driver License's Regular Salaries and Wages account (010.121.5127.01.011).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the
