Hilo, HI 96720
Dear Chairman Yagong and Council Members:
RE: Proposed Amendments to Bill 29, Draft 2
This letter is submitted in response to proposed amendments to the County Office of
Aging's budget for FY2011 -2012 submitted by a member of the Council (enclosed).
021 Office of Aging, Overtime S &W
The Office of Aging historically has provided much assistance to County Civil Defense in
times of emergencies or disasters. Our budgeted overtime is only used for these purposes. We
have previously reduced our overtime budget; further cuts will curtail Office of Aging support of
Civil Defense emergency situations.
099 — Temporary Assignment
Historically, the temporary assignment allotment has run close to $1,000 a year.
Reducing it to $200 does not leave enough to provide needed authorization during my
absences. I am concerned about union contract issues.
101 - Office of Aging OCE, Postage & Freight
Planning for our new facility and reorganization of office functions over the past several
years has curtailed a number of important activities. Client satisfaction surveys and other
important mailings have been reduced considerably over the past several years and need to be
reinstated. Without this necessary funding, Office of Aging will not be able to meet its
responsibilities for planning, evaluation, and monitoring.
227 — Computer Supplies
As a resource for other public /private agencies, Office of Aging utilizes its computer
database to obtain and disseminate needed information for service development, grant writing
purposes, and service analysis by council district. Our proposed funding level is necessary to
maintain the computer system and equipment utilized to disseminate information.

104, 112, 341 - Committee on People with Disabilities, travel, mileage, and
accommodations
These accounts were transferred to the Office of Aging in fiscal year 2011. The current
Committee on People with Disabilities has taken a very proactive role as it seeks to educate and
inform the public on issues facing the disabilities community here in Hawaii County. Proposed
cuts will curtail planned meetings and events.
The proposed reductions should not be approved.
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to respond to the proposed amendments.
Sincerely yours,
