REQUEST: We are requesting the Council's permission to accept $110,000.00 from the Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD). The Office of the Prosecutor, through the competitive process, is receiving the award for FY 2016 in the amount of$110,000. The funds will be utilized to provide County Coordination for a Substance Abuse Prevention System. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): In cooperation with the Mayor's office, the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney applied for a grant through the State Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division in response to an RFP issued December 7, 2015. The grant money is to be used for community organizing, evaluation and planning of a substance abuse prevention system within the County of Hawaii. The first six months of the program would focus on developing a plan on how to involve the service providers and community in evaluating the current resources. The next twelve months would be used to enact that plan and develop an organized, coordinated substance abuse prevention system to be used in Hawaii County to decrease the percentage and number of alcohol and drug abusers in our County. The eventual goal being to decrease the usage of county resources including police, fire, emergency medical response, prosecutors, public safety, etc., by having less people abusing alcohol and drugs. This would include amending the budget to appropriate the funds to the project and creating a general ledger account and revenue account for the funds.
