training for PC users, and permit EDP to increase its involvement,
coordination, support and leadership in PC development .
Your Committee acknowledges current fiscal year budgeted funding for
computer-related equipment and services, including funding for the
subject position, was placed in a contingency account, pending
Council acceptance of County Long Range Computer Plan.
A computer assessment and plan was released in June 1991 . This plan
revealed a need by many County agencies for advice, assistance and
support in the area of personal computers .
During the Finance Committee meeting on October 8, 1991 subject
Bill No. 494 was deferred until the next Finance Committee meeting
on October 22, 1991 at which time related issues and the County Long
Range Computer Plan will be furthered discussed.
On October 22, 1991, after deliberation regarding other
computer-related issues proposed by Resolution Nos . 346, 347 and
348, your Committee voted to approve Resolution No . 379-91 based on
Administration' s assurances that subject position would affect the
plan to computer decentralization and assist County personnel with
P.C. training and support, otherwise the position would be
abolished.
Section 5-1 .4 (c) , Hawaii County Charter states , "the Mayor shall
have the power to create positions, including position of deputy or
assistant to each head of an agency where such position has not been
created by the Charter, for which appropriations have been made by
