Re: Operating Budget
The State of Hawai`i Department of Transportation is providing approximately $175,000 to the
County of Hawaii to support its Safe Routes to School (SRTS)program. The SRTS program's
goal is to improve the ability of children to walk or bicycle safely to school.
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawaii
Department Transportation for this grant. Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the
Operating Budget by appropriating this $175,000 grant to the Safe Routes to School program
account.
Please waive this resolution and bill from the Finance Committee and place them on the April 20,
2016 Council agenda in order to expedite the receipt of these funds. If there are any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Warren Lee, Director of Public Works, at 961-8321.
