RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A DECREASE IN THE COUNTY OF HAWAII
FUEL TAX FOR FISCAL YEARS 2018-2019 AND 2019-2020.
WHEREAS, the provisions of Section 243-5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, authorizes the
Council of the County of Hawaii to determine by resolution the amount of the County fuel tax,
which may be per gallon, one or more cents or a fraction of a cent or both, or zero; and
WHEREAS, Section 243-5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, further provides that no such
resolution shall be adopted until the County Council conducts a public hearing on the proposed
tax, which shall be publicly noticed in the County at least twice and within a period of 30 days
immediately preceding the date of such hearing; and
WHEREAS, Section 243-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, provides that in addition to
expending fuel tax revenues for County highway construction and maintenance purposes,
revenues may be expended for mass transit; and
WHEREAS, on June 23, 2017, the County Council adopted Resolution No. 212-17,
Draft 2, which authorized tax increases on liquid fuel and set the tax at 15 cents per gallon for
fiscal year 2017-2018, 19 cents per gallon for fiscal year 2018-2019, and 23 cents per gallon for
fiscal year 2019-2020; and
WHEREAS, the County of Hawaii may consider other revenue sources for the
improvement and maintenance of County roads, highway infrastructure, and mass transit,
therefore, the County Council finds that additional increases to the fuel tax for future fiscal years
are no longer necessary and that the fuel tax should be decreased to 14 cents per gallon for fiscal
years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020; and
WHEREAS, the County Council finds that the fuel tax should be decreased by five cents
per gallon for fiscal year 2018-2019, thereby making the aggregate County of Hawaii fuel tax
on liquid fuel at 14 cents per gallon for fiscal year 2018-2019; and
WHEREAS, the County Council finds that the fuel tax should be decreased by nine
cents per gallon for fiscal year 2019-2020, thereby making the aggregate County of Hawaii fuel
tax on liquid fuel at 14 cents per gallon for fiscal year 2019-2020; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that it
does hereby fix, determine, and set the amount of the County of Hawaii fuel tax on liquid fuel to
be levied and collected by the Department of Taxation of the State of Hawaii, in accordance
with law, at 14 cents per gallon for fiscal years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 for diesel on -highway
and gasoline on -highway to be in effect going forward in subsequent years, unless and until
otherwise provided by another resolution adopted as provided above.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in accordance with Section 243-5, Hawaii
Revised Statutes, this resolution shall take effect on the first day of the second month following
the date of adoption of this resolution.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall transmit a copy of this
resolution to the Honorable Mayor Harry Kim; Director of Finance; Director of Public Works;
Director of Taxation, State Department of Taxation; and Director of Finance, State Department
of Budget and Finance.
