They will reimburse the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney (OPA) up to $12,000 for overtime incurred by OPA staff while they research charges identified by the HCJDC with overdue dispositions. We are requesting a Revenue and an Expenditure account for these funds. Requesting to amend Ordinance 16-72 as amended, the Operating Budget for The County of Hawai'i for the fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2017 We are requesting the waiving of further reading so as to expedite this process as time is an issue for this project. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): Currently there are cases in the State data bank that have no disposition. There are many reasons that the cases were not finalized. The Hawaii Criminal Data Justice Center is requesting our assistance in reearching the cases that have no disposition and report to them what the findings are. We have estimated the amount of time it would take to research and document the findings. The Hawai'i Criminal Data Justice Center, which is part of the Attorney General's office, which is part of the State, is willing to pay the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, towards the overtime costs, up to $12,000 to work on this project.
