BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): ACT 130 (2017) gave the State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) authority to provide limited funding to reimburse the Counties to partially offset the cost to operate an electronic waste collection and recycling program. Previously on December 31, 2015, DOH ended their program of partial reimbursement funding for the Counties. The Department of Environmental Management was notified via email'on January 6, 2018 by the Hawaii Department of Health that they were proposing resumption of reimbursement funding and proposed an E-waste grant of$45,000 for FY2017-18. On February 12, 2018 the Department of Environmental Management received a draft Memorandum of Agreement from the DOH. The $45,000 reimbursement grant is to offset some of the cost of the E-Waste program from April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018. The E-waste collection and recycling program is highly used by households, government agencies and businesses and is an important part of the County's landfill diversion program. In order to expedite use of these grant funds for the benefit of the public, we respectfully request to have the resolution and bill for the Electronic Waste Recycling Program grant funds waived from committee. \\))1 SIGNED: L` DATE: ‘2-/Z. /1P Department Head GRANT SUMMARY (Supplement to B-52, Request for Council Action) Type of Grant Appropriation being requested: (New or an additional appropriation) M New (for this fiscal year period).
