BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. Finding. The demand for additional funds for grants and purchases of services by nonprofit organization has been on a constant increase with no ceiling in sight. While the council is sympathetic to the needs for more public health and welfare services throughout our communities, these additional funds are being provided at the expense of basic county services. Article IX of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii clearly places public health and welfare responsibilities on the State government. Fiscal constraints mandate that the county reassess its involvement in social programs and services. The council finds that the time is right to establish 1) limitations of the amount of fiscal resources to be pledged towards grants and purchases of services and 2) procedures for purchases of services. SECTION 2. Section 2-139. Hawaii County Code 1983, is amended as follows: "Section 2-139. Procedures for awarding grants. (a) All grants made to a nonprofit organization by the county shall be made in accordance with the follocainq procedure: (1) Annually, before December 31, the director shall, for the purpose of soliciting applications, establish a sum of at least [$250,000] $900,000 to be available in the ensuing fiscal year for funding requests by nonprofit organizations. In any event, the maximum amount to be made available for grants shall not exceed one percent of real property tax income. The director shall publish a notice soliciting applications in a newspaper of general circulation within the County of Hawaii by December 31. (2) All applications for grants shall be submitted on or before February 28, preceding the County's fiscal year, which begins on July 1. Applications shall be prepared on forms provided by the director. Applications not in conformance with the requirements of the County Code may be rejected. (3) The director shall submit to the council all qualifying applications for its review and appropriation of funds. (4) Upon favorable action by the council to appropriate funds for the grant, the director shall prepare a contract with the nonprofit organization for the purpose of the grant award which shall meet all legal requirements of the County and shall include program, fiscal and audit reporting requirements sufficient to allow the director to effectively monitor and evaluate the use of the grant.
