Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Re: Capital Budget Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance adding the $4,150,000 State Grant funded Pa`auilo Plant and Slaughterhouse project to the Capital Budget. This project will enable local industry to increase processing capacity of grass -fed beef by allowing local cattle producers to finish their product on- island rather than exporting to the mainland for final processing, and it will address ongoing waste management issues through the conversion of waste materials into useful by- products. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Lois Nishida of the Department of Research and Development at 961 -8584. Nancy rawford Director of Finance Enc. cc: R &D L k t o Comm.

Date Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Form #: B -52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Research and Development DATE: April 5, 2011 STAFF CONTACT: Randy Kurohara PHONE: x8368 A. REQUEST: Request to amend Ordinance 10 -60 by adding revenue and CIP expenditure appropriations for the Pa'auilo Rendering Plant and Slaughterhouse. Revenue: State Grant (General Obligation Bond Fund) $ 4,150,000. Expenditure: Pa'auilo Plant and Slaughterhouse $ 4,150,000. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): See next page. The State of Hawaii has authorized the funding of $4,150,000 for the plans, design, construction, equipment and infrastructure improvements for the Pa'auilo Rendering Plant and Slaughterhouse.This project will enable the local industry to increase its capacity to process grassfed beef and improve the island's food sustainability. The reestablishment of the rendering facility will address ongoing waste management issues through the conversion of waste material in to useful by- products. The project supports the County's initiative for food sustainability by allowing island beef cattle producers to finish their cattle here on the island rather than shipping cattle to the mainland for finishing and processing. The Grass Finishing Program supports diversified agriculture and maintains a tradition of beef cattle ranching on the Big Island. By increasing the processing capabilities of the facility, more ranchers can have their cattle processed on the island and promote island grass fed beef throughout the island and State. Rendering Plant improvements will enable the plant to substantially process the current slaughterhouse animal waste into useful by- products. Currently, this waste is composted and buried in open trenches onsite. If improvements are not made to the operation, they may be forced to haul the animal waste to the municipal landfills, which are faced with capacity issues.lf they are unable to bury the waste in the muncipal landfills, this will severely limit their operational capacity and could potentially lose their ability to operate completely. Improvements to the Slaughterhouse will nearly double the capacity from 300 -400 head of cattle to 600 -800 head per month. The Slaughterhouse's existing cooler space limits the slaughterhouse capacity which is preventing the Grass Finishing Program from reaching its full potential. The existing auger system needs replacement to address food and safety concerns and provide workers with safer equipment. Improvements to the waste management pond are necessary to address potential health and safety concerns. The only alternative would be to operate the facility using current methods; and continue with limited production, food safety and worker safety concerns, and the potential for fines from the Environmental Protection Agency.
