REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: January 8, 2013 Re: Comm. No. 53/Res. No. 31-13
PLACE: Council Chambers
Hilo, Hawaii
TIME: 2:40 p.m.

Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 31-13, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 31-13, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford via Communication No. 53,
dated December 21, 2012, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of a multi -fiscal
year agreement for furnishing and implementing organic waste diversion sites and compost operations in
West Hawaii and East Hawaii for the Department of Environmental Management.
The current extension for green waste operations expires on December 31, 2012. A request for
proposals for a 10 -year contract to expand these operations at both the South Hilo Sanitary Landfill and
West Hawaii Sanitary Landfill will enable adequate return on investment and will provide the best
opportunity for cost-effective organics diversion and compost operations. Organics diversion is
necessary to comply with Council Resolution 826-08, which urges a prohibition on organics from the
landfill by 2012.
Acting Director Dora Beck and Solid Waste Division Chief Greg Goodale, from the Environmental
Management Department, were present in the Council Chambers for questions by the members of the
Committee.
Ms. Beck expanded on the landfill components and diversion rate of green waste. She also noted that
there was no compost operation in place; however, it will be scheduled during second part of fiscal year
2014.
Council Member Ford asked for clarification of Kailua-Kona's green waste processing and drop-off
sites. She stated that a front loader would be more efficient, rather than self -loading.
Mr. Goodale informed the Council of the locations for mulch pick-up and green waste drop-off sites.
He stated that mulch is currently being processed at Pu`anahulu.
Pursuant to Section 10-11, Hawaii County Charter, any contract, lease or other obligation requiring
payment of funds from the appropriations of a later fiscal year or of more than one fiscal year shall be
made or approved by resolution.
