J Yoshimoto, Chair
And Members of the Hawai`i County Council
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawai`i 96720
Subject: RESOLUTION 31-13 AUTHORIZING 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
Dear Chair Yoshimoto and Council Members,
Councilmember Wille has contacted me requesting a presentation and overview of all Solid Waste
Division contracts including existing contracts to be agendized at a March 12, 2013 council
committee meeting.
She previously requested a presentation on the Solid Waste Division organics diversion program
to better understand the scope of this program. She asked that these presentations be done prior to
the council vote on Resolution 31-13.
Upon receipt of the February 20, 2013 council agenda, I found that this resolution had been placed
on the meeting agenda.
Due to Ms. Wille's request for the presentations to be given prior to the vote, I am requesting that
Resolution 31-13 be postponed from February 20, 2013 to March 28, 2013 to allow time for the
Department to prepare these presentations and present them to the Environmental Management
Commission at their February 27, 2013 meeting.
Therefore I am requesting that the following items be agendized:
March 12, 2013 Council Committees Department of Environmental Management
Overview and Presentation of All Solid Waste Division contracts as stated
in the first paragraph of this letter;
Comm. N
Ref.To::
County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. Re Date, 0 2 13
March 27,2013 Council Committees Department of Environmental Management
Presentation of the Solid Waste Division Organics Diversion Program
March 28, 2013 Council Resolution 31-13.
Please confer with Ms. Wille if you have any further questions or require clarification. Thank you
for your consideration of this request.
Best Regards and Aloha,
