The amount is $355,497, or 1.2 percent, less than the $30,396,986 budgeted for Fiscal Year 1998-1999. The County Administration initially made a $2,578,597 cutback in the Police Department's original budget request and restored all but $355,497. It is our hope that all of the remaining proposed cuts will be restored by the Council. Of the $30,041,489 proposed for fiscal 1999-2000, a total of $21,858,295 (72.8%) is earmarked for salaries and wages accounts, $8,038,111 (26.8%) for other current expense accounts and $145,083 (0.58) for equipment accounts. The salaries and wages accounts are broken down this way: $19,747,171 (90.3%) for regular salaries and wages, $1,606,950 (7.48) for overtime wages and $504,174 (2.3%) for miscellaneous salaries and wages. By comparison, of the $30,396,986 earmarked in the current fiscal 1998-99 budget, $21,631,382 (71.2%) is budgeted in salaries and wages accounts, $8,405,379 (27.7%) in other current expense accounts and $360,225 (1.2%) in equipment accounts. The salaries and wages accounts are further broken down into $19,556,158 (90.4%) for regular salaries and wages, $1,606,950 (7.4%) for overtime wages and $468,274 (2.2%) for miscellaneous salaries and wages. In both budgets, more than 70 percent of the funds are earmarked for salaries and wages, costs that can't be reduced without laying off employees. So cuts were made elsewhere. REVISED HAWAII COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET MESSAGE 1999-2000 PAGE 8 telephone lines, eliminate of some maintenance agreements for office equipment and slow progress on microfilming reports to free up records storage space. We may also have to rely on other County agencies such as Parks and Recreation or Public Works to remove our trash, since we will not be able to afford any increases in bids to remove trash from our stations. A reduction in fuel and lubricant funding may force the Department to curtail transportation costs at a time when service calls are increasing, thereby increasing mileage traveled, especially in rural districts that cover vast areas. In summary, the cutbacks will: • Require the Department to curtail private investigator services for Police Commission investigations as well as cut back on Commission visits to rural districts outside Hilo. • Require the Department to cut back in criminal investigation surveillance activities through a $40,000 cut in the Special Operations Fund, a $20,000 cut for the Hilo Criminal Investigation Division and a $5,000 cut for the Kona Criminal Investigation Division. The decreased surveillance of organized crime will likely encourage organized criminal activities to increase, and it may affect the safety of police officers. • Force the Department to reduce training, which means officers will not be fully trained in new investigative techniques and developments to keep abreast of new procedures and technology frequently critical in solving crimes and in prosecution. • Cause the Department to defer the replacement of old equipment, leading to increased repair, maintenance and service costs. REVISED HAWAII COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET MESSAGE 1999-2000 PAGE 12 and restored most of the cutbacks. We are grateful for the administration's restoration of funds and urge the County Council members to give serious consideration to approving the proposed bond sale. The Police Department fully realizes the current state of the economy in Hawaii and on the Big Island in particular. It understands the necessity of tightening its belt until the economy improves. However, the Police Department -- like the Fire Department and the Civil Defense Agency -- is a core agency of county government. Our missions are to protect the public against criminal activity, against major accidents such as traffic collisions and fire and against natural disasters. Our services are basic and essential to the operation of government and society. Because of this, we request that the $355,457 in remaining cuts to the Police Department budget be restored so we can fulfill our mission as a law enforcement agency and adequately provide the safety and health services that the public expects and deserves. `Y' � WV'V�1�`"' vV WA E G.
