Re: Operating Budget
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating an
additional $700,000 into Office of Housing and Community Development's Housing
Voucher Program. This increase in appropriation reflects the updated allocation to be
received from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for the period
July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 for the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program.
The $700,000 is to be used for payment of rental assistance for eligible participants of the
program. The Office of Housing and Community Development expects to expand this
allocation by June 30, 2009.
To expedite this matter, the Office of Housing and Community Development humbly request
a waiver from the Finance Committee and to have this bill heard at the next Council meeting
scheduled for May 20, 2009.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Office of Housing and
Community Development.

RE: BILL NO. 80 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ORDINANCE NO. 08-78, AS
AMENDED, THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE COUNTY OF HAWAII FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 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
matter be placed onto the next Council agenda for review. However, in the event this request is
denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the Finance Committee
for placement on its future agenda.
