REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
Re: Comm. No. 793/Bill No. 240
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 240, reports as follows:
Bill No. 240, transmitted by Director of Finance Nancy Crawford, via Communication No. 793,
dated April 20, 2010, amends Ordinance No. 09 -64, as amended, the Operating Budget, ending
June 30, 2010. The amendment is as follows:
FROM:
3308.23
3308.59
Federal Grants — State Incentive Grant
Federal Grants — SPF State Incentive Grant —
Phase II
General $< 750,000>
General 2,103,141
TOTAL $ 2,103,141
TO:
010.111.5111.67 Strategic Prevention Framework —
State Incentive Grant General $< 750,000>
010.111.5111.68 SPF — State Incentive Grant — Phase II General 2,103,141
TOTAL $ 2,103,141
The County of Hawai`i was awarded $2,103,140.28 for its Strategic Prevention Framework — State
Incentive Grant (SPF -SIG) Phase II program. These monies, derived from federal funds, were
awarded by the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division of the State of Hawaii Department of Health.
In anticipation of getting this grant, $750,000 was already budgeted in this fiscal year's budget.
The monies from Phase I and II were grouped together when they were transferred by Resolution
No. 246 -09, from the Prosecutor's Office to the Office of Management. To better distinguish
between the first and second phase of this project, this bill separates the funds by decreasing the
current year's appropriation of $750,000 from the original set of accounts and appropriates the
total amount of the Phase II grant into new account numbers.

Kalani Kahalioumi and Steven Mosciatti from the Office of Management were present to answer
Council Member questions. They explained that these Federal funds come with strict guidelines
on how the funds may be used. Service providers and organizations who apply for the funds must
offer an evidence -based program to fight against underage drinking. These are programs, proven
to work in other areas throughout the country, which may be adapted to local cultural
circumstances. Mr. Mosciatti agreed to send additional information to all the Council members.
Your Committee on Finance is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 240, and
recommends it pass first reading.
