Dear Applicant:
Based on information supplied, and assuming your operations will be as
stated in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined
you are exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(x) of the Internal
Revenue Code as an organization described in section 501(c)(3).
We have further determined that you are not a private foundation within
the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code, because you are an organization
described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(ii).
If your sources of support, or your purposes, character, or method of
operation change, please let us know so we can consider the effect of the
change on your exempt status and foundation status. In the case of an amend-
ment to your organizational document or bylaws, please send us a copy of the
amended document or bylaws. Also, you should inform us of all changes in your
name or address.
As of January 1, 1984, you are liable for taxes under the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (social.security taxes) on remuneration of $100
or more you pay to each of your employees during a calendar year. You are
not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA)'.
Since you are not a private foundation, you are not subject to the excise
taxes under Chapter 42 of the Cade. However, you are not automatically exempt
from other Federal excise taxes. If you have any questions about excise,
employment, or other Federal taxes, please let us know.
Grantors and contributors may rely on this determination unless the
Internal Revenue Service publishes notice to the contrary. However, if you
lose your section 509(a)(1) status, a grantor or contributor may not rely
on this determination if he or she was in part responsible for, or was aware
of, the act or failure to act, or the substantial or material change on the
part of the organization that resulted in your loss of such status, or if he or
she acquired knowledge that the Internal Revenue Service had given notice that
you would no longer be classified as a section 509(a)(1) organization.

RE: Resolution No. 97-09 Transferring/Appropriating and Appropriation Out and
From the Designated Fund Account and Crediting Same to a Designated Fund Account to
Help Fund Promotional Material for the Kuleana Conference 2009.
Pursuant to Section 2(g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawaii, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Finance Committee to the full Council for immediate action. In reviewing this
matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore advantageous that approval is granted and the

denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the Finance Committee
for placement on its future agenda.
