Re: Resolution for multi-year employment contracts
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the payment of funds for more than one fiscal year, for multi-
year employment contracts, for the Planning Department. These employment contracts will be
executed for four years, with optional additional extensions to deliver the recovery efforts from the
2018 Kilauea Eruption. Funding will be through disaster recovery funds provided to the County.
It is anticipated that temporary personnel will be hired as needed through the course of the project to
coordinate governmental and community stakeholders and facilitate implementation of interim and
long-term strategies to support the 2018 Kilauea Eruption recovery efforts.
The Planning Department requests that this resolution be waived from Finance Committee and be
placed on the September 4, 2019 Council agenda in order to expedite this process. If there are any
questions, please do not hesitate to call Douglas Nam Le, of the Planning Department at 961-8174.
