Re: Comm. No. 414/Bill No. 121
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 121, reports as follows:
Bill 121, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford via Communication No. 414, dated
October 5, 2011, amends Ordinance No. 11 -59, as amended, the Operating Budget, ending
June 30, 2012. The amendment is as follows:
From:
010.3304.06 State Grants — Area Plan on Aging General $50,000
To:
010.411.5411.10 Area Plan on Aging General $50,000
The bill amends the Operating Budget by increasing the appropriation of the Area Plan on Aging
Account by $50,000. The purpose of this grant funds (State Rainy Day Funds) to be used to
address the need to meet federally defined criteria of a statewide, fully functioning ADRC.
Pursuant to Section 46 -7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, County Departments must obtain the consent
of the Council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting action to
be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend and receive any funds
or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those
powers.
County Executive on Aging, Mr. Alan Parker appeared before Your Committee. He stated that
the grant funds will be used toward maintaining intake staff, admin, or other operational costs of
Hawaii County Office of Aging. Furthermore, Office of Aging, is the only agency in the State
of Hawaii that offers aging services in nine districts in Hawaii County. Mr. Parker would like
to have aging offices in Puna and Pahoa, but due to lack of funding and staff it is not possible at
this time.
