BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. Purpose. Resolution 397 -88, adopted by the Hawaii County Council on March 15, 1988, increased the County fuel tax by 3.8 cents per gallon, and provided that all additional revenues generated as a result of the increase shall be expended for highway improvements as delineated in Exhibit A of the resolution. The exhibit sets forth the manner by which the funds generated by the fuel tax increase would be appropriated among various public works projects over the next ten years. These projects were placed in one of five increments, depending upon the order of priority, with each increment covering two fiscal years. The projects included within the first increment, Increment I, were incorporated into the capital budget for the fiscal year July 1, 1987, to June 30, 1988, by virtue of Ordinance No. 88-78,-and construction of those projects have either commenced or are scheduled to commence before June 30, 1989. The chief engineer has now determined that a reprioritization of the scheduled projects included within Increments I and II is desirable in order to satisfy changing community demands. The changes shall result in an interchanging of projects between the two increments and are, relative to Increment I, as follows: District Project Title S. Hilo Add: Hoaka Road /Ainaola toward end of County Road Kawailani- Kilauea Traffic Signal Waianuenue /Lele -Waiau Delete: Malaai /Ainaola - Hoaka Mamo /Kam - Kinoole Hualalai / Kapiolani- Kilauea Wailuku Drive N. Hilo Add: Mamalahoa (Old) Highway /Kauniho- Umauma Delete: Kapehu Road Leopoldino Road /Hakalau N. Kona Add: Palani Road, Truck Climbing Lanes Delete: Kailua Police Station /Queen K. Channelized Intersection The council concurs with the determination of the chief engineer and finds that such a reprioritization is in the best interest of the County. However, the council also recognizes that inasmuch as amending the budget of a previous year is improper, the deletion of those items from Increment I may not be done by amending the capital budget for fiscal year July 1, 1987, to June 30, 1988. Instead, the council shall accept the declaration of the chief engineer that those projects sought -to be deleted shall not be undertaken this fiscal year, but shall be added to the list of projects included in Increment II and -2- incorporated into the capital budget for fiscal year July 1, 1989, to June 30, 1990. In addition, the council determines that the cost estimates for those projects desired now to be included within the first increment may be inadequate and deems it necessary to increase those amounts by ten percent to enable the County to sufficiently meet any and all cost demands required for the effective completion of such projects. Finally, the council finds that the revenues generated by the fuel tax increase are sufficient to justify the appropriations necessary to allow for those projects reprioritized from Increment II to Increment I. SECTION 2. Ordinance No. 88 -81, relating to public improvements and financing thereof for the fiscal year July 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, is hereby amended by adding the following projects: S.
