HomeMy WebLinkAboutBIL 702 Draft 01 1988-1992SECTION 1. Finding. The demand for additional funds for grants
and purchases of services by nonprofit organization has been on a
constant increase with no ceiling in sight. While the council is
sympathetic to the needs for more public health and welfare services
throughout our communities, these additional funds are being
provided at the expense of basic county services.
Article IX of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii clearly
places public health and welfare responsibilities on the State
government. Fiscal constraints mandate that the county reassess its
involvement in social programs and services.
The council finds that the time is right to establish
1)
• of the amount of fiscal resources to be pledged
towards grants and purchases of services and 2) procedures for
purchases of services.
