COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: August 18, 2009 Re: Comm. 476/Bill No. 126
PLACE- Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort and Spa

TIME: 1:00 p in.
Council Chair and Members
Hawai'i County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 126, reports as follows-
Bill No 126, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford, via Communication No 476,
dated August 6, 2009, amends Ordinance No. 09-64, as amended, the Operating Budget, ending
June 30, 2010. The amendment is as follows.
FROM:
3303.67 Federal Grants - DUI & Crash Reconstruction General $30,000
Traffic Safety Training
TO:
010.271.5271.68 DUI & Crash Reconstruction Traffic Safety General $30,000
Training Grant
TOTAL $30,000
These funds will be used to implement a project that includes: assignment of a deputy prosecuting
attorney to be the Statewide Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor, providing statewide training for police
and prosecutors, and for the participation at monthly statewide traffic commanders meeting. Last fiscal
year, the State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation had awarded a $80,000 DUI & Crash
Reconstruction Traffic Safety Training grant to the Hawai'i Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
However, only $50,000 of the $80,000 total grant amount was appropriated in last fiscal year's budget
To fully implement and complete this project, the Prosecutors Office seeks to appropriate the remaining
$30,000 into this fiscal's budget, brining the total grant appropriation to $80,000.
Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawai'i Revised Statutes, and Section 13-13(b), Hawai'i County Charter, the
Mayor is hereby authorized to apply for, receive and expend the funds for the DUI & Crash
Reconstruction Traffic Safety Training grant to the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
There was no discussion on this measure.
