Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 124, reports as follows:
Bill No. 124, transmitted by Finance Director Nancy Crawford, via Communication No. 415 dated
August 28, 2013, amends Ordinance No. 13-65, as amended, the Operating Budget for the County of
Hawai`i for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The amendment is as follows:
From:
010.3308.17 Federal Grants - Aggressive Driving Project General $ 19,112
To:

These funds will be used to purchase additional speed detection radar units.
Police Sergeant Robert Pauole of the Traffic Services Division appeared before Your Committee for
questions. He explained that the Aggressive Driving program was started to reduce highway
fatalities in West Hawai`i, specifically Highway 190, Highway 11 and Highway 19. The program
has been successful in reducing traffic deaths. Furthermore, Sergeant Pauole noted that some of the
funding has been diverted and set aside for traffic projects, speed enforcement and aggressive
driving citations on Saddle Road.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 124, and
recommends its passage on first reading.
