Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill 153 , reports as
follows:
The purpose of Bill 153 is to amend Chapter 2 , Article 25 , Hawaii
County Code , relating to appropriation of funds to non-profit
organizations, by clarifying and strengthening the procedures for
grant awards to non-profit organizations and to establish a minimum
annual amount for appropriation to qualified non-profit organizations .
In Committee discussion, amendments to the bill were made , based on
public testimony at the Council meeting of April 9 , 1986 , that
culture and the arts and educational activities not be deleted for
potential funding by the County, though economic, scientific and
agricultural concerns be deleted because of other available funding .
Draft 2 was prepared citing those changes that would occur by the
incorporation of the following amendments:
Page 2, Section 2-137 , Eligible organizations , (a ) ( 3) to read:
"The service or activity to be provided by the nonprofit
organization, and funded by the County, shall address educational
[ , economic, scientific , or agricultural] concerns , culture and
the arts , the needs of the poor , youth , the aged, those with
physical or emotional disabilities , victims of crimes , or victims
of health or social crises as may be determined by the County. "
Page 3, Section 2-138, Conditions for grants or purchase of
service agreement, (a ) (1 ) , delete the entire paragraph and
substitute "Employ and appoint persons on the basis of merit and
ability. "
Page 4 , Section 2-138 (a ) (5) , to read: "Allow the director , the
committees of the council and their staffs , and the legislative
auditor [ full] access to records , reports , files , and other
related documents in order that the program, management , and
fiscal practices of the nonprofit organization may be monitored
and evaluated to assure the proper and effective expenditure of
public funds . "

Your committee feels that the amendments would better reflect the
nepotism definition with regard to the hiring of employees . By
removing the word "full", as cited in the third amendment,
confidential protection will be provided for the clients of the
agencies that now deal in sensitive personal areas .
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the intent and purpose of
Bill 153 , Draft 2, and recommends adoption on second and final
reading .
