SUBJECT: Formation of an Ad Hoc Committee Relating to the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget
Pursuant to Rules of Procedure and Organization for the Hawai`i County Council,Rule No. 7—Ad Hoc
Committees,I am requesting the creation of an Ad Hoc Committee to discuss issues relating to the
proposed Operating Budget and the proposed Capital Budget and Six-Year Capital Improvements
Program for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
Given the natural disasters our County experienced in 2018 (volcanic eruption and hurricane), and recent
discussions and measures before the Council related to tax increases, it is prudent that the proposed
budget and priorities be fully investigated, and ways to increase efficiencies and save money be
identified.The goal is to of this body is to report findings and propose recommendations to the Council so
fiscally responsible decisions can be made with regards to the proposed budget.
I am requesting 30 minutes to discuss this request, identify scope of the investigatory work, and to select
members of the Ad Hoc Committee.
Please place this matter on the Finance Committee agenda for March 12,2019.
