Aloha,
As required by law, the Cost of Government Commission has recently been
reconvened. The Commission, currently comprised of seven (7) volunteers from your
community, is charged to "study and investigate the organizations and methods of
operations of all department, commissions, boards, offices and other instrumentalities of
all branches of the county government, and determine what changes, if any, may be
desirable to accomplish the County's policy to promote economy, efficiency and
improve service in the transaction of the public business in the legislative and executive
branches of the County by:
1) limiting expenditures to the lowest amount consistent with the efficient
performance of essential services, activities and functions;
2) eliminating duplication and overlapping of services, activities and functions;
3) consolidating services, activities and functions of a similar nature; and
4) abolishing services, activities and functions not necessary to the efficient conduct
of government."
We have only 11 months to fulfill our mandate and provide a written report of
findings and recommendations to the Mayor, the Managing Director and the Council.
In your daily work, you are in the best position to help inform our work. We would greatly
appreciate receiving your feedback on the above four items.
Please send your feedback to the Cost of Government Commission, c/o Office of the
Corporation Counsel, 101 Aupuni Street, Suite 325, Hilo, HI 96720 by April 7, 2014.
