COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: July 18, 2012 Re: Comm. No. 774/Bill No. 279
PLACE: Council Chambers
Kailua-Kona, Hawai
TIME: 9:08 a.m.
Council Chair and Members
Hawai`i County Council
Hilo, Hawai`i 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 279, reports as follows:
Bill No. 279, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford, via Communication No. 774
dated June 28, 2012, is a bill for an ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 12-87, as amended,
relating to Public Improvements and Financing thereof for the Fiscal Year July 1, 2012 to June
30, 2013, related to Fuel Tax Allocation.
This proposed bill appropriates the third increment of the fuel tax revenues established by
Resolution No. 504-08. Projected revenues are being based on each district's percent of miles of
local streets, for all roads maintained by the County.
Below is the breakdown of the programs:
PROGRAM AMOUNT
Roadway Projects (Engineering) $ 1,650,000
Bridge Inspection, Repair, & Replacement 1,500,000
Program (Engineering)
ADA Curb Cut & Accessible Route Program 200,000
(Engineering)
Local Road Improvements (Highways) 3,350,000
TOTAL $ 6,700,000
The specific projects are listed on Exhibit A of the bill.
A proposed amendment was transmitted via Communication 774.1 by Ms. Crawford, dated
July 11, 2012. Ms. Crawford stated, inadvertently the bill included a document referenced as
Exhibit B, showing the distribution method of the local road projects. This document should
have instead been included as part of communication 774 and not part of Bill 279. The removal
of Exhibit B from Bill 279 does not affect the contents of the bill since Bill 279 makes no
reference to Exhibit B. This amendment, contained in Communication 774.1, was unanimously
approved.

Deputy Finance Director Deanna Sako and Public Works Director Warren Lee appeared before
Your Committee. Mr. Onishi asked for further clarification on roadway projects in his district.
Mr. Lee commented that part of the funds is applied to engineering, consultation, and permitting
of the listed roadway projects and not towards construction.
Pursuant to Section 10-6(d), Hawai`i County Charter, the Council may amend the Capital Budget
for this fiscal year by two-thirds vote.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 279, as amended
to Draft 2, and recommends its passage on first reading.
