AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, RELATING TO IMPROVEMENTS BY
ASSESSMENTS, BY ALLOWING SUPERVISION OF WATER SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER SUPPLY.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Purpose. At the present time, Chapter 12 of
the Hawaii County Code, which regulates improvement districts,
requires that all improvement districts be supervised by the
Department of Public Works. Several recent improvement
district proposals have centered on water system improvement
projects; however, under the law, the Department of Water
Supply may not supervise these projects, despite the nature of
the work. The Department of Public Works acts as a
"middleman," simply carrying out the Department of Water
Supply's wishes. The present bill amends Chapter 12 by
allowing the Department of Water Supply to be the supervising
agency where the improvement district is classified as a "water
system improvement district." A "water system improvement
district" is defined by a new definition as an improvement
district in which the improvements are all for the purpose of
creating a new water system or upgrading a present one. The
primary changes, in'addition to the definitions, are in Article
2 of the chapter, in those sections describing actions that
presently must be taken by the "chief engineer," such as
$$12-10, 12-11, 12-15, 12-18, 12-19, 12-24, 12-27 and 12-28.
The wording in these sections has been changed to allow the
actions normally required of the chief engineer to be done by
the manager of the Department of Water Supply in those
situations involving a "water system improvement district."
SECTION 2. Chapter 12, Article 1, Section 12-1 of the
Hawaii County Code 1983, relating to definitions is hereby
amended by adding new definitions to be appropriately numbered
and to read as follows:
1 "Manager" means the manager of the County of
Hawaii Department of Water Supply.
S 1 "Water System Improvement District" means an
improvement district in which the improvements to be made are
exclusively those to construct a water svstem or upgrade an
existing water system.
SECTION 3, Chapter 12, Article 2, Section 12-10 of the
Hawaii County Code 1983, relating to the procedure for
initiation and adoption of an improvement district by the
County Council, is hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 12-10. Initiation by council; study

covered by this chapter, may prorate the original
assessments among the lots resulting from the
subdivision or consolidate the assessments upon
the component lots and assess the consolidated lot
therefor, by an appropriate amendment to the
ordinance declaring the assessment; provided that
prior to the introduction of the amendment to the
ordinance declaring the assessment:
(1) The subdivider or consolidators
shall deposit with the County legal tender or
a certified check in an amount sufficient to
be used to cover the cost of making such
allocation, and to cover the assessment
allocable to areas used or to be used for
purposes that are public in nature, such as,
but not limited to, roadways, parks, school
sites, sewage treatment plant sites and
reservoir sites, developed in connection with
the subdivision or consolidation (together

pursuant to section 12-38 by reason of
prepayment of unpaid principal); and,
(2) The [chief engineer] director of
finance shall send notice of the proposed
proration or consolidation by certified mail

special fund described in section 12-49. The
amended assessments shall be a lien upon the
subdivided lots or consolidated lots as of the
date of the first publication of the original
ordinance declaring the assessment.
(d) The amended asssessments shall be paid in
installments equal in number to that remaining
under the original assessment, at the same rates
of interest, and each of such installmen*..s for the
respective amended assessments shall be its pro
rata share of the corresponding installment that
would have been payable upon the original
assessment, or, in the case of consolidation the
total of the corresponding installments that would
have been payable upon the original assessments,
if proration of the original assessment or
