Re: Operating Budget Hawaii County has a well established system of identifying Tsunami evacuation zones and traffic control points around Hawai'i Island. The effectiveness of this system was demonstrated during the February 2010 Chilean Tsunami Warning. In an effort to improve and maintain this system, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the State of Hawaii State Civil Defense (SCD) has authorized the funding of $20,000 to Hawai'i County for the purchase of roadway markers and signage to identify Tsunami Evacuation Zones. Specifically, the purchase will include 200 thermoplastic roadway markers, applicators, and adhesive to clearly identify tsunami roadblock locations and 100 tsunami signs to replace worn, stolen, or damaged signs currently deployed. Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawai'i Department of Defense, State Civil Defense for the Tsunami Observer Program. Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating the $20,000 grant. Because we are close to the end of the fiscal year, we would like to request a waiver from the Finance Committee and have this resolution and bill heard at the next Council meeting scheduled for June 7, 2010.
