The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council
County of Hawai'i
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawai'i 96720
Deanna S. Sako
Director
We transmit herewith the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the County of Hawai'i,
State of Hawai'i (the County), for the fiscal year July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.
This report was prepared by the County's Department of Finance. The accuracy of the financial
statements and the completeness and fairness of their presentation are the responsibility of the
County government. We believe the enclosed data are complete and accurate in all material
respects and are reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results
of operations of the various funds of the County. All disclosures necessary to convey the
maximum understanding of the County's financial activities have been included. Management's
discussion and analysis is also included to aid users of the financial statements.
This report presents the financial position of the County of Hawai'i at June 30, 2018 and results
of operations for the fiscal year then ended. The report is divided into three sections:
• The Introductory Section includes this transmittal letter, a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting, the County of HawaiTs organization chart and lists of
elected and principal officials.
• The Financial Section contains management's discussion and analysis, the basic financial
statements, related notes, the combining and individual fund budgetary financial statements,
and the independent auditors' report.
• The Statistical Section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally
presented on a multi-year basis.
This report includes all funds of the County of Hawai'i, including its component unit, the
Department of Water Supply, established by the County Charter as a semi -autonomous body of
the County government. This component unit is included in the County's reporting entity
because of its financial relationship with the County.
Hawaii County is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
-1-
The County provides a fall range of municipal services. These include police and fire protection;
emergency medical care; public prosecutor; culture and recreation; sanitation; social services;
water; planning and zoning; construction and maintenance of highways, streets and
infrastructure; real property assessment and tax collection; and general administrative services.
However, the County does not provide such other traditional services as public education,
hospitals and courts. These services are provided by the State government.
The County consists of the island of Hawai'i, 4,028 square miles in size. It is twice as large as
the combined area of all the other inhabited islands in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Since there is
no other local or municipal government within the County, there are no overlapping taxes and no
overlapping debt. The County has an elected mayor and a nine -member council.
Economic Condition and Outlook
The island of Hawai'i, commonly known as the Big Island, is located 214 miles from Honolulu,
the state capital; 2,200 miles from the west coast of the continental United States; and 4,000
miles from Japan. The city of Hilo on the east side of the island serves as the county seat as well
as the transportation and financial center for the Big Island. Hilo's infrastructure includes Hilo
Harbor, a deep -water port, and Hilo International Airport, which is capable of handling fully -
loaded wide-bodied aircraft. Kailua-Kona and South Kohala, major tourist destination areas on
the west side of the Big Island, are served by flights from the United States mainland, Canada
and now Japan through the Kona International Airport. Scheduled freight services are available
between the islands by air and sea transport. Communities on the island are linked by a network
of State and County maintained streets and highways.
The Big Island is the most diversified of the neighbor island economies. As a result it is buffered
to some extent when any one industry lags. Although the past few years proved challenging to
the island's economy, it appears that the County will continue on its steady but slow road to
improved financial health. This favorable outlook is supported by positive trends in the
following key areas of the island's economy.
The unemployment rate for the County for the current fiscal year is at approximately 3%, which
has not changed from last year's rate for the same period.
Tourism has always been one of the major industries on the island. In addition to the mild
climate and natural beauty it shares with other areas in the state, the County features the Hawai'i
Volcanoes National Park. In 2018, the County suffered from two natural disasters, Hurricane
Lane and a volcanic eruption, which took a toll on the island's visitor industry. Even with the
halting of volcanic activity in recent months, the outlook for the remainder of fiscal year 2019
remains optimistic.
In October 2018, the Hawai'i Supreme Court by majority decision affirmed the Board of Land
and Natural Resources' decision to issue a Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) for
construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on Mauna Kea. Estimated at approximately
$1.4 billion, the project has been stagnant for the past several years as opponents challenged
whether or not the project had satisfied all procedural requirements when it obtained its original
CDUP.

Major Initiatives
For the Year
Public Safety With the volcanic eruption in the lower Puna region endangering both lives and
property, the Hawai'i County Civil Defense Agency (Agency), along with many of the
departments throughout the County, faced many challenges but worked tirelessly to keep the
community safe.
The Police Department won wide spread praise for its initial handling of the volcanic eruption in
populated areas in lower Puna in the tail end of fiscal year 2018. Officers in the Puna and South
Hilo Districts were put on 12 hour shifts to maintain normal law enforcement operations while
also manning roadblocks and security details within the evacuated and other affected areas.
During the fiscal year, the Department fully transitioned to a new service weapon for all sworn
personnel replacing the issued Smith & Wesson 9mm handguns that were discontinued by the
manufacturer.
The Fire Department hosted the world renowned Resuscitation Academy here on the Big Island,
for the first time in the State, featuring the ongoing efforts in the County through the Fire
Department to improve cardiac arrest survival rates in the county. The Department also
implemented an in-house Confined Space Rescue training program that includes all of the
personnel who work as part of the hazmat or rescue teams. The Department also completed the
final phase of the Emergency Dispatch Center upgrades which included installation of ergonomic
and adjustable dispatch consoles.
Public Works — Over the past fiscal year the Department of Public Works (DPW) completed
major projects in our community including:
• Work on the Hakalau Stream Bridge foundation completed just after fiscal year end with a
contract amount of $1.6 million that was 80% funded by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA). The bridge was ordered closed in January 2016 by the FHWA due
to severe scour damage to its foundation by prolonged exposure to strong erosive stream flow
during its 88 years of active use.
• The Mass Transit Baseyard and Maintenance Facility has been substantially completed and
occupied since February 2018. The new facility consists of a five acre parcel and has
sufficient space to house the fleet of transit buses and staff.
Culture and Recreation — Parks and Recreation opened several new and improved facilities
during fiscal year 2018 for use by the community. One such project included the bunkhouses
that was a part of the approximately $10.5 million Mauna Kea Recreation Area Improvement
project that the Department opened up for rentals. In addition to the bunkhouses, this multi-
million dollar project included construction of new potable and nonpotable water tanks, new site
utilities, new fencing, gates and other park amenities.
3
Another large construction project that was completed during the past fiscal year, included the
Pana' ewa Drag Strip at a cost of approximately $5.0 million, which involved renovation of
restrooms to be ADA compliant, new launch pad and guardrail systems and new concession
buildings. There was also the Kukuihaele Park Improvements project at a cost of approximately
$5.4 million, which involved the construction of a new basketball court, new baseball field with
chain link fencing, dugout buildings and bleachers.
For the Future
Public Safety — A high priority for the Police Department is to seek funding to implement a body
worn camera system to assist officers in the field. The funding needed would be for acquiring
necessary equipment as well as additional personnel to manage the program. Additionally, in
conjunction with the Fire Department, the Department hopes that a long -envisioned combined
Fire and Police Dispatch Center will be realized.
Planning— The County Council adopted the Ka' a Community Development Plan in October
2017 and the nine year process demonstrated the passion and resilience of the community to
provide an inspired vision for Ka 5. The Windward Planning Commission completed its review
of the Hamakua Community Development Plan in May 2018 and forwarded it on to the County
Council for final adoption. The multi-year comprehensive review of the Hawai'i County
General Plan is more than half way complete and is expected to be adopted in fiscal year 2020.
Public LVorks - DPW is currently working on the following County and Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) projects:
• The Kalaniana ole Avenue Reconstruction project (Kamehameha/Railroad Avenue to
Ka uhane Avenue) is valued at $17 million and started in fiscal year 2018. The project
includes the widening of Kalaniana' ole Avenue to add a new sidewalk, bicycle and left turn
lanes, construction of a new waterline and appurtenances; drainage improvements;
reconstructing and re -paving the roadway and installation of pavement markings and signs.
The projected completion date is the middle of fiscal year 2020.
• The Ali'i Drive Culvert Replacement project, estimated at $12 million, is currently being bid
upon by contractors. This project includes the demolition and reconstruction of a concrete
culvert bridge. Completion is slated for the middle of fiscal year 2021.
• The construction of the West Hawai'i Office of the Prosecuting Attorney building is valued
at $14 million and will be the office complex for the prosecuting attorneys, clerical,
administrative and program staff of the county. Completion of the project is currently slated
for the middle of 2019.
4
• The Mamalahoa Highway (Route 19) Widening (Mud Lane to Mana Road) project is valued
at $19.6 million and started in fiscal year 2017. The project will construct turning lanes at
side intersections. The work will include grading, paving, retaining walls and installing
pavement markings and signs. Completion of the project is currently slated for the end of
fiscal year 2020.
Other Financial Information
Internal Control
The management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the County are protected from loss, theft or
misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal
control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgments by management.
Budgetary Control
The County maintains budgetary controls to ensure that legal provisions of the annual budget are
complied with and that those expenditures do not exceed budgeted amounts.
Activities of the general fund and special revenue funds are included in the annual appropriated
operating budget. Project -length financial plans are adopted for the capital projects fund.
Budgetary control is established at the department level.
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device for the general fund,
special revenue funds, and the capital projects fund. Budgetary control for the debt service fund
is achieved through general obligation bond indenture provisions.
The basis of accounting used for the budgets of the general and special revenue funds differs
from generally accepted accounting principles. Intergovernmental revenues are recognized when
awarded by the granting agency, encumbrances and unexpended allotments are treated as
expenditures for purposes of determining legal compliance with the annual budget, all leases are
treated as operating leases, and accounts payable are not accrued.
The County also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of
accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbrances outstanding at fiscal year end are included in
the various fund balance categories based on whether the resources are restricted, committed or
assigned and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because they will be honored during the
following year. As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial
section of this report, the County continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial
management.

Sign fcantAccounting Policies
The County has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14, The
Financial Reporting Entity (GASB Statement No. 14), Statement No. 39, Determining Whether
Certain Organizations Are Component Units (GASB Statement No. 39) and Statement No. 61,
The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and 34
(GASB Statement No. 61). All organizations, activities or functions that meet the criteria in
GASB Statement No. 14, No. 39 and No. 61 for inclusion in the reporting entity are included in
the County's basic financial statements. For further discussion on other significant accounting
policies, refer to the notes to the basic financial statements.
Financial Highlights
Total revenues increased by $59.1 million from the prior year, which was mostly due to property
taxes increasing by approximately $35.4 million, most notably in the homeowners class, which
increased by 8.0 percent from the prior year. Second, there was a $16.7 million increase in
capital grants and contributions related to increases in highways and streets. With a 13.5 percent
($59.2 million) increase in revenues that was offset by a 3.7 percent ($18.3 million) increase in
expenses, the County experienced a decrease in net position of $20.2 million, which represented
a 66.9% decrease over the prior year's decrease in net position. These results are prior to the
impact of the prior year's cumulative effect of an accounting change related to the reporting of
the County's liability related to Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB).
The County's investment in capital assets increased by $4.4 million from the prior year, which
represented a 1 percent increase. New and continued construction projects in the areas of
highways and streets and sanitation accounted for the majority of the increase.
Other Information
Independent Audit
The County Charter requires an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. N&K
CPAs Inc. was selected in accordance with the County Charter and the procurement provisions
of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) and Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) to perform the
audit.
Employee Union Contracts
County employees are members of eight different bargaining units, of which six have contracts
that expire on June 30, 2019 and two will expire on June 30, 2021.
Certificate of _Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the County of
Hawai'i for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
This was the thirtieth consecutive year that the government has received this prestigious award.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily
-6
readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must
satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.
Acknowledgments
The preparation of this report was made possible by the efficient and dedicated services of the
entire staff of the Department of Finance and fiscal personnel in other departments. I am grateful

Council for their interest and support in assuring the continuing sound financial condition of the
County of Hawai' i.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii (County), as of
and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the CountyI basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
Management3 Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor3 Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorI
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entityI preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entityI internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial
statements.
N&K CPAs, Inc.
ACCOUNTANTSCONSULTANTS
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, as of June 30, 2018, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary
comparison for the general fund for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
Adoption of New Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the County adopted new accounting guidance,
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other
Than Pensions. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
managements discussion and analysis (pages 16 through 26), schedule of changes in the net
OPEB liability and related ratios (page 106), schedule of contributions (OPEB) (pages 107
through 108), schedule of the CountyI and Departments proportionate share of the net pension
liability (ERS) (page 109), schedule of the employer pension contributions (ERS) (pages 110
through 111), and schedule of changes in total pension liability (page 112), be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers
it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited
procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management
about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency
with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not
provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the CountyI basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining
and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules, and
N&K CPAs, Inc.
ACCOUNTANTSCONSULTANTS
statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison
schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and
budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 28, 2018, on our consideration of the CountyI internal control over financial reporting
and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,
and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the CountyI internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the CountyI internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This section of the County of Hawaii's (the County) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the County for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2018. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the County exceeded its liabilities at the end of the fiscal year by $141.7 million
(net position). This amount includes a negative balance of $790.4 million in unrestricted net
position, a decrease of $319.7 million from the prior year, which is explained in the sections
below.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the County's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $213.2 million, an increase of $51.7 million from the prior year.
Approximately 38 percent of this total amount, $81.4 million, is available for spending at the
County's discretion (unrestricted fund balance).
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance for the general fund was $37.5
million, or 12 percent of total general fund expenditures.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the County's basic financial
statements. The County's basic financial statements comprise three components: (1)
Government -wide financial statements, (2) Fund financial statements, and (3) Notes to the basic
financial statements. This report also contains both required and other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview
of the County's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the County's assets and liabilities,
with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in
net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether or not the financial position of the County
is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the County's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and expenses
pertaining to earned but unused vacation and sick leave.
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the County that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the County include
public safety, highways and streets, health, education and welfare, culture and recreation,
sanitation and general government. The business -type activities of the County include rental
housing for senior citizens and families.
-16-
The government -wide financial statements include not only the County itself (known as the
primary government), but also the Department of Water Supply, a legally separate entity that the
County is financially accountable for. Financial information for this component unit is reported
separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements are designed to report information about groupings of related
accounts which are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. The County, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting
to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds
of the County can be divided into the following three categories: governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements —
i.e., most of the County's basic services are reported in governmental funds. These
statements, however, focus on (I) how cash and other financial assets can readily be
converted to available resources and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for
spending. Such information may be useful in determining what financial resources are
available in the near future to finance the County's programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide
financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental
funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide
financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the
government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet
and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds
and governmental activities.
The County maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their
type (general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects). Information is presented
separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement
of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund and capital
projects fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund
data for each of the non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining
statements elsewhere in this report.
The County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund and special revenue
funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for these funds to demonstrate
compliance with this budget. The budgetary comparison statement for the general fund is
located in the basic financial statements, whereas the budgetary comparison schedules for
the nonmajor special revenue funds are presented elsewhere in this report.
Proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which
the County charges outside customers. Proprietary funds provide the same type of
information as' shown in the government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. The
County maintains only one type of proprietary funds, enterprise funds. Enterprise funds
are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -
wide financial statements. The County uses enterprise funds to account for the operations of
the Kulaimano Elderly Housing Project and the Gull Ekahi Affordable Housing Project.
-17-
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the County. The private -purpose trusts and the agency funds are reported
under the fiduciary funds. Since the resources of these funds are not available to support the
County's own programs, they are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements.
The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
Other Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information, which is presented immediately following the notes
to the basic financial statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with
nonmajor governmental funds and budgetary comparison schedules for the nonmajor special
revenue funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information.

Analysis of Net Position
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's
financial position. In the case of the County, assets exceeded liabilities by $141.7 million at the
close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of the County's net position reflects its investment in capital assets
(e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those
assets that is still outstanding. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the County's
investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves
cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the County's net position represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the County is able to report positive balances in two of its
three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental activities. All three categories of net position are positive for its business -type
activities.
The County's net position decreased by $294.3 million from the prior year, which was an
increase of $233.2 million (382%) from the decrease that was experienced last fiscal year. The
main reasons for the large decrease in the current year over last year's decrease was due to a
prior period adjustment of $274.0 million, which was the result of the County's implementation
of GASB Statement 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other
Than Pensions. Under this new accounting standard the County's financials at the government -
wide level now reflect their net liability, expense, deferred inflows and outflows relating to Other
Postemployment benefits.
The County's net capital assets increased by $1 1.4 million (1 percent) due to the large amount of
capital improvement projects done by the County during the current fiscal year and infrastructure
related assets that were contributed. See further discussion of the increase in capital assets on
page 23.
The County's long-term liabilities outstanding increased by $330.3 million (26 percent) due
primarily to the issuance of $5.2 million State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans and $138.8 million in
bonds, which were offset by $131.8 in retirements of bonds, Bond Anticipation Notes and SRF
loans; a $3.7 million increase in the liability related to claims and judgments against the County;
a $280.6 million increase in the County's liability relating to the pre -funding of its
postemployment benefits other than pensions; and a $8.2 million decrease in the County's net
pension liability. See further discussion of the increase in long-term debt outstanding on page 25.

*Due to the implementation of GASB 75, a prior period adjustment to governmental
activities of $274,026,503 is reflected in June 2018. The restated beginning balance for
fiscal year 2018 is $160,430,751 for governmental activities. See Note I for details.
Analysis of Changes in Net Position
Governmental activities. Governmental activities, including the impact of the prior period
restatement for GASB 75, decreased the County's net position by $294.4 million or basically all
of the total decrease in net position of the County.
The primary reasons for the $59.1 million (13.5 percent) increase in total revenues was due to
property taxes increasing by approximately $35.4 million, which was due to increases in the value
of net taxable real property, of which the most notable was a $521.5 million increase in the
homeowners class that represented an 8 percent increase from the prior year, and then followed
by a $494.9 million increase in the residential classes (6 percent increase). Capital grants and
contributions also increased by approximately $16.7 million, which related to increases in
highways and streets projects ($18.7 million).
Total expenses increased by $18.3 million, which represented a 4 percent change from the prior
year. There were the typical increases in salaries and wages and related employment benefit costs
across all functions in the current fiscal year.
- 20-
The charts below illustrate the County's governmental expenses and revenues by function, and its
revenues by source. As shown, public safety is the largest function in expense (47 percent),
followed by general government (15 percent) and sanitation (11 percent). General revenues such
as property and other taxes are not shown by program, but are effectively used to support
program activities countywide. For governmental activities overall, without regard to programs,
property taxes are the largest single source of funds (61 percent), followed by operating grants
and contributions (12 percent) and charges for services (10 percent).

Business -type activities. Business -type activities increased the County's net position by
$167,215 versus an increase of $28,906 in the prior year. Expenses for health, education and
welfare account for all of the $566,864 of expenses which represents a 1 percent decrease from
the prior year. Charges for services were $503,597 and investment earnings were $5,561, which
were comparable to the prior year. Operating grants and contributions increased by $92,486 (70
percent) to $224,921 as a result of the County executing a new rent subsidy contract with the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE COUNTY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance -related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the County's governmental funds is to provide information
on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful
in assessing the County's financing requirements. In particular, unrestricted fund balance may
serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the
fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the County's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $213.2 million, an increase of $51.7 million (32 percent) in comparison
with prior year. Approximately 38 percent of this total amount ($81.4 million) constitutes
unrestricted fund balance. The unrestricted portion of the fund balance is comprised of (1) $55.4
million in committed fund balance, (2) $22.9 million in assigned fund balance, and (3) $3.1
million in unassigned fund balance. The remainder of the fund balance is divided between $6.7
million in nonspendable fund balance for inventory and $125.1 million in restricted fund balance.
Approximately 55 percent of the total restricted fund balance is due to restrictions relating to
highways, streets and abandoned vehicles ($35.2 million) and debt service ($33.4 million).
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the County. At the end of the current fiscal year,
unrestricted fund balance of the general fund was $37.5 million, while total fund balance
increased to $61.0 million. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both unrestricted fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unrestricted fund balance represents 12 percent of total general fund expenditures, while total
fund balance represents 20 percent of that same amount.
The fund balance of the County's general fund increased by $13.3 million during the current
fiscal year as compared to a decrease of $6.1 million in the prior year. Key factors in this
increase ($19.4 million) over last year's decrease are as follows:
A positive increase of $35.2 million (13 percent) in real property tax revenues and $4.3
million (8 percent) in intergovernmental revenues. As explained previously, the increase in
real property tax revenues is due to a slight increase in the value of net taxable real property
as evidenced in the accompanying statistical tables.
The positive impact of the increase in revenues was offset by increases of $15.0 million (5
percent) in expenditures and of $6.1 million in transfers out to other governmental funds.
$5.3 million of the total increase in expenditures is due to increases in salaries and wages
from the prior year and $9.5 million in associated employee benefits.
The fund balance of the County's capital projects fund increased by $26.8 million (58 percent)
during the current fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to the fact that the $35.5 million of
-22-
expenditures for various construction projects were only partially offset by the issuance of $5.2
million in SRF loans and $47.3 million in new bonds.
The debt service funds consist of the Bond Redemption Fund and the Interest Fund. These funds
have combined total fund balances of $33.4 million, all of which is restricted for the payment of
debt service. The net increase in the combined fund balances during the current year in the debt
service funds was $6.6 million (25 percent).
Proprietary funds. The County's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found
in the government -wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the Kulaimano Elderly Housing Project (Kulaimano) at the end of the
year amounted to $597,130, and $521,362 for the Ouli Ekahi Affordable Housing Project (Ouli
Ekahi). The total net position for Kulaimano increased by $49,420 and the net position for Ouli
Ekahi increased by $117,795. Other factors concerning the finances of these two funds have
already been addressed in the discussion of the County's business -type activities.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget were primarily the result
of a $9.5 million increase in appropriations, the most significant reasons were due to increases in
the appropriations for public safety ($4.0 million) and capital outlays ($6.4 million).
Differences between the final budget and the actual (budgetary basis) resulted in approximately
$4.5 million less revenues than expected and $30.8 million less expenditures than appropriated.
This is primarily due to the following factors:
• The negative variance of $4.5 million in revenues is comprised mostly of $4.0 million from
real property and public service company taxes. Public service company taxes was lower
than budget by $2.7 million due to the decline in the cost of fuel that was passed on to the
consumers.
• $5.5 million of the unspent appropriations is related to salaries and wages and the various
countywide expenditure accounts relating to salaries and wages. The variance is due
primarily to unfilled vacancies and continued efforts by each department to control payroll
costs during the budget year due to the tough economic conditions facing the County. The
following functions are responsible for the majority of the variance: public safety ($2.5
million) and general government ($1.7 million).
• $3.1 million is due to lower than anticipated payments needing to be made in retirement
related payments. With each department increasing efforts to control costs, overtime was
also closely monitored and the corresponding pension expenditures were not incurred.
$2.4 million is due to the fact that the increase in health premiums for employees' was lower
than originally anticipated.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital assets. The County's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type
activities as of June 30, 2018 amounts to $1.3 billion (net of accumulated depreciation). This
investment in capital assets includes land and improvements, buildings and improvements,
equipment, easements, and infrastructure assets, which consists of primarily roads and bridges.
The total increase in the County's investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was 1
percent.

Additional information on the County's capital assets can be found in note 6 to the basic financial
statements.
Long-term debt. Long-term debt is primarily comprised of bonds of $407.4 million and State
Revolving Fund loans of $35.6 million. At the end of the current fiscal year, the County had total
bonded debt outstanding of $407.4 million. This entire amount was comprised of general
obligation bonds which are backed by the full faith and credit of the County.
The County's total bonded debt increased by $68.9 million (20 percent) during the current fiscal
year due to the issuance of $138.8 million in bonds which were offset by the retirement of $69.9
of bonds.
At the end of the fiscal year, the County held an "AA+" rating from Fitch and an "Aa2" rating
from Moody's for general obligation debt.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt the County may issue up to 15 percent
of the total assessed value of all county real property as established for tax purposes on the last
tax assessment rolls. The current debt limitation for the County is $4.6 billion, which is in excess
of the County's outstanding general obligation debt. Currently the County's outstanding debt
represents 9 percent of our debt limitation.
Additional information on the County's long-term debt can be found in note 10 to the basic
financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
• The unemployment rate for the County for the current fiscal year is at approximately 3.0
percent, which is the same percentage as the end of the prior fiscal year, and a 1.0 percent
decline from two years ago and an even larger decline from the high of 11.0 percent in

COUNTY OF HAWAII
Reconciliation of the Change in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds S 50,562,988
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Capital outlays are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
However, in the statement of activities, the cost of capital assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In
the current period, these amounts are:
Capital outlay
Dedicated and contributed property
Depreciation expense and loss on disposals
Excess of capital outlay over depreciation expense
Borrowings provide current financial resources to governmental funds;
however, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement
of net position. In the current period, assets financed through:
General obligation bonds, net of refunding
Premium on bond issuance
Gain on issuance of debt refunding
Deferred amount on refunding of bonds
State Revolving Fund loans
Capital leases
Total debt proceeds
Repayment of long-term debt is reported as an expenditure in governmental
funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of
net position. In the current year, these amounts consist of:
Bond principal retirement
Bond anticipation notes
State Revolving Fund loan repayments/forgiveness
Capital lease payments
Total long-term debt repayment
Because some revenues will not be collected for several months after the
County's fiscal year end, they are not considered "available" revenues and
are "deferred" in the governmental funds. Unearned revenues increased by
this amount this year.

COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
The accounting policies of the County of Hawaii (the County) conform to U,S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to local governmental units, The following notes to
the basic financial statements are an integral part of the County's Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CA FR),
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial Reporting Entity
The County has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14,
The Financial Reporting Entity (GASB Statement No, 14), Statement No, 39, Determining
Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units (GASB Statement No, 39) and
Statement No. 61, The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus an amendment of GASB
Statements No: 14 and 34 (GASB Statement No. 61), All organizations, activities or functions
that meet the criteria in GASB Statement No. 14, No, 39 and No. 61 for inclusion in the
reporting entity are included in the County's basic financial statements,
Primary Government The County operates under the Mayor -Council form of government
under a charter that became effective on January 2, 1969, and was amended in 1979, 1982,
1990 and 2000, The County's operations are organized by the following functions: general
government; public safety; highways and streets; sanitation; health, education and welfare;
culture and recreation; pension and retirement contributions; health fund; miscellaneous;
capital outlay; and debt service. The State of Hawaii (the State) assumes full responsibility
for several major functions usually performed by local governments, including education,
welfare, health and judicial functions, There are no separate city, county or township
governments nor any school districts, special districts, authorities or public corporations with
overlapping authority,
GASB Statement No. 14, as amended, defines component units as legally separate
organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially
accountable or for which the primary government may determine, through exercise of
management's professional judgment, that the inclusion of an organization that does not meet
the financial accountability criteria is necessary in order to prevent the reporting entity's
financial statements from being misleading, "Financial accountability" is the level of
accountability that exists if a primary government appoints a voting majority of an
organization's governing board or if the organization is fiscally dependent on the primary
government and is either able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for
the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens
on, the primary government, A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an
organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects, activities or level of
services performed or provided by the organization, An organization has a financial benefit or
burden relationship with the primary government if any one of three conditions exist: (I) The
primary government is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the organization's resources;
(2) The primary government is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to
-47-
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (3) The primary
government is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization.
As required by GAAP as set forth in GASB Statement No, 14, No. 39 and No. 61, these basic
financial statements present the County of Hawaii (the primary government) and its
component unit, the Department of Water Supply (the Department). This component unit is
included in the County's reporting entity because of its financial relationship with the County.
Discretely Presented Component Unit The component unit column in the basic financial
statements includes the financial data of the Department, a legally independent agency of the
County that is accounted for as an enterprise fund, It is reported in a separate column to
emphasize that it is legally separate from the County, The members of the Water Board, the
governing body of the Department, are appointed by the Mayor of the County and confirmed
by the County Council, The Department is granted corporate powers by state statute and the
County Charter. Although the County does not have the authority to approve or modify the
Department's operational and capital budgets, the County has issued bonds on the
Department's behalf that are general obligations of the County. Because the County is
obligated to repay these bonds in the event of default by the Department, the County is
financially accountable for the debts of the Department. See Note 14 for component unit
disclosures for the Department. Complete financial statements of the Department can be
obtained from the Department of Water Supply, 345 Kekuanao' a Street, Suite 20, Hilo,
Hawaii 96720.
Basic Financial Statements
The basic financial statements include both government -wide (based on the County as a
whole) and fund financial statements. Both the government -wide and fund financial
statements (within the basic financial statements) categorize primary activities as either
governmental or business -type. In the government -wide statement of net position, both the
governmental and business -type activities columns (a) are presented on a consolidated basis
by column, (b) and are reflected, on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which
incorporates long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations.
The government -wide statement of activities reflects both the gross and net costs per
functional category (general government, public safety, highways and streets, etc,) which are
otherwise being supported by general government revenues (property taxes, certain
intergovernmental revenues, etc.), The statement of activities reduces gross expenses
(including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating and capital grants, The
program revenues must be directly associated with the function (general government, public
safety, highways and streets, etc.) or a business -type activity. The operating grants include
operating -specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants
column reflects capital -specific grants. The net cost (by function or business -type activity) is
normally covered by general revenues,
- 48 -
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
The government -wide focus is more on the sustainability of the County as an entity and the
change in aggregate financial position resulting from the activities of the fiscal period,
The fund financial statements' emphasis is on the major funds in either the governmental or
business -type categories, Nonmajor funds (by category) are summarized into a single column,
The governmental funds in the fund financial statements are presented using the current
financial resource focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the manner in
which these funds are normally budgeted. This presentation is deemed most appropriate to (a)
demonstrate legal and covenant compliance, (b) demonstrate the source and use of liquid
resources, and (c) demonstrate how the County's actual experience conforms to the budget
fiscal plan, Since the governmental fund statements are presented using a different
measurement focus and basis of accounting than the government -wide statements'
governmental activities column, a reconciliation is presented on the page following each
statement, which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to transform the fund based
financial statements into the governmental activities column of the government -wide
presentation,
The County's fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements by type (private
purpose and agency). Since by definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third
party (private parties, state government, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or
obligations of the government, these funds are not incorporated into the government -wide
statements.
Government -wide and fundfinancial statements — The government -wide financial
statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component
unit. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements during the
process of incorporating fund data but interfund services provided and used have not been
eliminated in the process of consolidation, Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -
type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support, Likewise,
the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units
for which the primary government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment, Program revenues include (a) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and (b) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues,
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements,
Activities in funds - The financial transactions of the County are recorded in individual funds,
Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that
comprises its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources,
reserves, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses, The various funds are reported by
generic classification within the financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and
Analysis -for State and Local Governments, sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the
assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, revenues or
expenditures/expenses of either fund category or the governmental and enterprise combined)
for the determination of major funds. The nonmajor funds are combined in a column in the
fund financial statements and detailed in the combining section.
The County reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - The general fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used
to account for all activities of the general government, except those required to be
accounted for in other funds.
Capital Projects Fund - Used to account for the costs of constructing County capital
improvements financed with general obligation bond proceeds, federal and state grants,
and general and special revenue fund revenues, The capital projects fund is used to
account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major
general government capital facilities and infrastructure (other than those financed by
proprietary funds and trust funds) when separate project centers are needed to control
costs,
Bond Redemption Fund- Used to accumulate moneys for the payment of general
obligation bonds, Moneys required to retire the bonds are transferred from the General
Fund one year in advance of maturity.
The County reports the following major proprietary funds:
Kula 'nwno Elderly Housing Project - Used to account for the operation of a rental
housing project for low-income senior citizens located north of Hilo.
Ouli Ekahi Affordable Housing Project - Used to account for the operation of a 33 -unit
single-family affordable rental housing project located in Waimea.

COUNTY OF HAWAII

The County reports the following fiduciary funds:
Private -Purpose Trust Funds — Used to account for funds received from geothermal
developers to mitigate the effects of geothermal energy development. Also used to
account for investment income on funds received from import businesses at the port of
Hilo and the related expenditures to promote health and safety on the Island of Hawai' i,
Agency Funds — Used to account for assets held by the County for other governmental
units and individuals. The agency funds are custodial in nature and do not involve
measurement of results of operations, The County has the following agency funds:
• State Weight Tax Fund
• Improvement District No, 18 Fund
• Improvement District No. 19 Fund
• Improvement District Revolving Fund
• Performance and Refundable Deposits Fund
• Payroll Clearance Fund
• Flexible Spending Account
• Lapsed Warrants Fund
• Non -Profit License Plates Fund
• Organ and Tissue Education Fund
• Business Improvement District 1-Kailua
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to the period in which revenues and expenditures (or expenses) are
recognized in the accounts and reported in the basic financial statements. Basis of accounting
relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The government -wide financial statements and the proprietary, fiduciary and component unit
fund financial statements are presented on an accrual basis of accounting, The governmental
funds in the fund financial statements are presented on a modified accrual basis.
Accrual Basis - Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the
related obligation is incurred.
Modified Accrual Basis - Revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual (that is, both
measurable and available), "Measurable" means the amounts are determinable, "Available"
means the amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter (one
year for intergovernmental revenues) to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
Licenses and permits, charges for current services, fines and forfeitures, penalties and
miscellaneous revenues are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are
generally not measurable until actually received, Real property taxes and State Revolving
Fund loan proceeds are considered available when collected,
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, the legal and
contractual requirements of the numerous individual programs are used as guidance, There
are essentially two types of these revenues. In one, monies must be expended on the specific
purpose or project before any amounts will be paid to the County; therefore, revenues are
recognized based upon the expenditures recorded. Most construction grants and many
operating grants fall into this category. In the other, monies are virtually unrestricted as to
purpose of expenditure and are usually revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed
compliance requirements. These resources are reflected as revenues at the time of receipt or
earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met,
The County reports deferred inflow of resources in its fund financial statements (see Note 7),
Deferred inflows of resources arise when potential revenue does not meet both the
"measurable" and "available" criteria for recognition in the current period. In subsequent
periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met, the deferred inflow is removed from
the fund financial statements and revenue is recognized,
Expenditures are recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting in the accounting
period in which the fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include:
(a) accumulated compensated absences and claims and judgments which are recognized as
expenditures when paid; (b) liabilities related to municipal solid waste landfill closure and
postclosure care costs; (c) principal and interest on general long-term debt which are
recognized as expenditures when due; and (d) liabilities relating to pollution remediation ,
The County applies all applicable GASB pronouncements, including the adoption of GASB
Statement No. 62, Codification ofAccounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained
in Pre -November 30, 1989 FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) and AICPA
(American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) Pronouncements.
Encumbrances
The general, special revenue, and capital projects funds follow encumbrance accounting under
which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments are recorded as an obligation of fund
balance and provide authority for the carryover of appropriations to the subsequent year in
order to complete these transactions. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are included in
the respective fund balance categories as appropriate and do not constitute expenditures or
liabilities because the commitments will be honored during the subsequent year.
COUNTY OF HAWAII

Cash and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts in demand deposits and savings
accounts, and short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less from the
date acquired by the County.
Investments consist of certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, and securities with
original maturities exceeding three months, These include participating investment contracts
(U,S. government sponsored agency issues and negotiable certificates of deposit) as well as
nonparticipating investment contracts (time certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements).
Both categories of investments are stated at fair value (see Note 3), Valuations of investments
in government sponsored enterprises such as Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie
Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) are based on quoted
market rates. Investments also consist of equity securities in the fiduciary fund financial
statements, These investments are stated at fair value based on closing quoted prices.
Real Property Taxes
The County's real property taxes are levied on July 1 each year on assessed valuation as of
January 1, The taxes become a lien on the property assessed as of the levy date, Taxes are
due and payable in two equal annual installments on August 20 and February 20. Accordingly,
real property taxes receivable as of June 30 are delinquent. Each delinquent installment bears
interest at 1% per month and penalties of up to 10% of the amount due. Assessments are
based on 100% of estimated fair market values prior to the application of exemptions or
preferential assessments.
The County provides real property tax abatement under five programs — Enterprise Zone,
Historic Residential Dedication, Low and Moderate Income Housing, Agricultural Use
Programs, and Solar Water Heater Credit:
Enterprise Zone Exemption - Section 19-89.3 of the Hawai'i County Code provides buildings
or other like structures which are built as a result of new construction by a qualified business
within an enterprise zone to be exempt except for the minimum tax from real property taxes
for a period of three years. The purpose of this program is to stimulate business and industrial
growth. A qualified business in an enterprise zone must satisfy the requirements of Chapter 31
of the Hawai'i County Code and section 208E, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
Historic Residential Dedication Exemption —Section 19-89.1 of the Hawai'i County Code
and Rule 36 of the Rules and Regulations of the Director of Finance provides an exemption to
encourage the preservation of residential structures that have been placed on the Hawai'i
Register of Historic Places after January 1, 1977. The property owner must provide visual
access on a year-round basis or open the property to the public for twelve days per year, The
owner certifies the current level of taxation is a material factor which threatens the continued
existence of the historic status. This dedication is for a minimum period of ten years,
- 53 -
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
automatically renewable indefinitely. Cancellation of the dedication by either the owner or
the Director of Finance may only be made upon five years' written advance notice and no
earlier than the end of the fifth tax year. Any person who becomes an owner of the dedicated
real property shall be subject to the restrictions and retroactive tax assessment provisions. If
the dedication is approved, the exemption based upon the dedication shall be effective July 1
of the tax year following the approval of the dedication. The dedicated exempt property or
portion of the property approved shall be subject to the minimum tax provisions of Section 19-
90(e) of the Hawaii County Code, If there is a breach in the agreement, the property would be
subject to roll back taxes, including penalty and interest,
Low and Moderate -Income Housing Exemption — Section 19-87 of the Hawaii County Code
and Rule 37 of the Rules and Regulations of the Director of Finance provides an exemption
for a housing project which is owned and operated by a nonprofit or limited distribution
mortgagor or by a qualified entity from taxation. Must participate in long-term housing
project that have regulatory agreements mandating rent levels, occupancy of the project is
limited to the elderly, handicapped, low or moderate income families. Applicants must submit
an application form along with a copy of the recorded regulatory agreement, The exemption
is equal to 100% of the assessed value for the portion of the real property that is dedicated as
low- and moderate -income rentals. If the entire property is dedicated, then the net taxable is
zero but the property is still subject to the minimum tax per Section 19-90(e) of the Hawaii
County Code. The exemption shall continue so long as the rental housing project is owned
and operated by a nonprofit or limited mortgagor, If the rental units do not comply with the
regulatory conditions, the property would be subject to roll back taxes, including penalty and
interest,
Non Dedicated Agricultural Use Assessment — Section 19-57 of the Hawaii County Code
and Rule 34 of the Rules and Regulations of the Director of Finance reduces assessments to
encourage local agricultural production as well as the preservation of agricultural lands that
could otherwise be further developed, by valuing these lands at two times the dedicated
agricultural use value as opposed to the market value. Unlike the Dedicated Agricultural Use
program, the zoning for this program must be agricultural. An application form must be filed
along with a plot plan and provide details as to what agricultural activities is conducted on the
property. Upon review and approval, the application is effective as of January 1 for the
following tax year, Renewal of the application shall be in such form and at such time as
requested by the director. Valuation consideration is given to the type of agricultural activity.
Any breach to the terms of would result in an immediate rollback calculation of current plus
two yeas taxes plus penalties and interest.
Commercial Agricultural Use Dedication — Section 19-60 of the Hawaii County Code and
Rule 31 of the Rules and Regulations of the Director of Finance provides reduced assessments
to encourage local agricultural production as well as the preservation of agricultural lands that
could otherwise be further developed, by valuing the dedicated lands at the agricultural use
value as opposed to the market value, An application form must be filed along with a plot
plan and provide details as to what agricultural activities is conducted on the property, Upon

review and approval, the owner is required to record the dedication at the Bureau of
Conveyances, There is currently only one available dedication length which is a 10 year
period, however, previously there was a 20 year dedication, This dedication does not
automatically renew, Valuation consideration is given to the type of agricultural activity,
Any breach to the terms of the recorded dedication would result in the cancellation of the
dedication, or portion thereof, and the immediate rollback calculation of taxes plus penalties
and interest.
Solar Water Heater Credit- Section 19-104 of the Hawaii County Code provides a one time
tax credit per tax map key for up to $300 for the owner of real property who installs a solar
water heater on the owner's property on or after January 1, 2008, This program was created
with the purpose of providing an incentive to support renewable energy, The owner must
apply for the credit.
Information relevant to the disclosure of these programs for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2018 is as follows:
Tax Abatement Program Amount of Taxes Abated - as defined by GASB 77
Enterprise Zone $9,979.25
Historic Residential Dedication $251,465.60
Low and Moderate Income Housing $533,616.30
Agricultural Use Programs $29,138,884.00
Solar Water Heater Credit $19,200,00
Inventories
Inventories consist of materials and supplies and are reported as expenditures at the time of
purchase (purchase method), Police and fire department inventories are stated using the first
in, first out (FIFO) method. Other inventories are stated at average cost.
Liquor Control
Section 281 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes requires that liquor license revenues collected be
used only for costs and expenses directly relating to operational and administrative costs
actually incurred by the liquor commission collecting such fees, The unexpended fees at
June 30, 2018 of $499,264 are reflected as a restriction of general fund balance.

June 30, 2018
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g„ roads,
bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and
similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns
in the government -wide financial statements, Capital assets are defined by the County as
assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $1,000 and an estimated useful life in
excess of one year, Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value if available
or if not, at estimated fair market value at the date of donation,
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend the life of the asset are not capitalized,
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed,
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Capital assets of the primary government and enterprise fund are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Assets Years
Infrastructure 20 to 100 years
Buildings and improvements 50 to 100 years
Ground and site improvements 20 to 50 years
Equipment 5 to 40 years
Easements Dependent on terms of easement agreement
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future
period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense or expenditure) until
that time, The County has three items that qualifies for reporting in this category, The County
reports the deferred loss on refunding and deferred outflow related to both pensions and other
postemployment benefits (OPEB) as a deferred outflow of resources in its statement of net
position,
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future
period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Property
taxes, fees and other non-exchange transactions received in the current fiscal year for the
ensuing fiscal year are reported as deferred inflows of resources, These amounts are deferred
and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
The County also reports deferred inflows of resources related to both pensions and other
postemployment benefits (OPEB).

Long-term Obligations
The County reports long-term debt of governmental funds at face value on the government -
wide statement of net position, Certain other governmental fund obligations not expected to
be financed with current available resources are also reported on the government -wide
statement of net position. Long-term debt and other obligations financed by the proprietary
funds are reported as liabilities in those funds.
Compensated Absences
Employees earn vacation credit at the rate of one and three-quarter working days for each
month of service, Up to ninety days of vacation leave credits can be accumulated per
employee, In addition, employees who work overtime can elect to take compensatory time off
instead of overtime pay. The time off is earned at the rate of one -and -a -half hours for each
hour of overtime worked. There is no statutory limit to the amount of compensatory time off
an employee can accumulate. Both compensatory time off and vacation credits are converted
to pay upon termination of employment,
A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured,
for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. All vacation and
compensatory time off pay is accrued in the government -wide statement of net position along
with the estimated liability for social security and Medicare taxes and employers' retirement
contributions on those amounts,
Sick leave accumulates without limit. Sick leave can be taken only in the event of illness and
is not convertible to pay upon termination of employment; therefore there is no related
liability. However, a County employee who retires or leaves government service in good
standing with 60 days or more of unused sick leave is entitled to additional service credit in
the Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii. Accumulated sick leave at
June 30, 2018 totaled $77,952,000 for the primary government,
Leases
Leases transferring substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership are recorded as
capital leases; other leases are operating leases (see Note 8), Capital leases are recorded as
capital asset additions at their estimated fair value at the inception of the lease and the related
present value of the future minimum lease obligations is recorded as long-term debt,
Operating lease expenditures and expenses are recognized when the lease obligation is paid.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the
fiduciary net position of the Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii (ERS) and
-57-
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
additions to and deductions from ERS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the
same basis as they are reported by ERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including
refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with
the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For the purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows or resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the
fiduciary net position of the Hawaii Employer -Union Health Benefits Trust Fund ("EUTF")
and additions to/deductions from EUTF's fiduciary net position have been determined on the
same basis as they are reported for EUTF. For this purpose, EUTF recognizes benefit
payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value, except for investments in commingled and money market funds, which
are reported at net asset value (NAV). The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying
assets held by the respective fund less its liabilities,
Operating Revenues and Expenses
Revenues and expenses are distinguished between operating and nonoperating items for the
proprietary funds. Operating revenues generally result from providing services in connection
with the proprietary funds' principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the proprietary funds are fees charged to residents for rent and rental subsidies received from
the federal government.
Operating expenses include the costs associated with providing housing for tenants, such as
utilities, lease rent, and maintenance and repairs; administrative expenses; and depreciation on
capital assets, All revenues and expenses not meeting these definitions are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, as well as
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues, expenditures, and other financing sources and uses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fund Balances
When both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available for use, it is the County's
policy to use restricted fund balance first, then unrestricted fund balance. Furthermore,
committed fund balances are reduced first, followed by assigned amounts, and then
-58-
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of
those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used,
The County reports the following classifications:
Nonspendable Fund Balance — Nonspendable fund balances are amounts that cannot be
spent because they are either not in spendable form, or, for legal or contractual reasons,
must be kept intact. The County has inventory included in their nonspendable fund
balance.
Restricted Fund Balance — Constraints placed on the use of these resources are either
externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors
or other governments or are imposed by law (under the Hawai'i Revised Statutes or
County of Hawaii Charter).
Committed Fund Balance — Committed Fund Balances are amounts that can only be used
for specific purposes as a result of constraints imposed by the County Council via
ordinances and the County Code and can only be undone via the same manner. The
committed fund balance of the General Fund includes the portion of fund balance
committed to budget stabilization. The budget stabilization portion is authorized under
County Code §2-219 to §2-223 and additions are made via the County budget or
subsequent budget amendments. The fund balance may only be used when there is a
reduction in budgeted revenue and the director of finance determines that such use is
necessary to prevent a reduction in the level of public services,
Assigned Fund Balance — Assigned fund balances are amounts that are constrained by the
County's intent as determined by the Mayor but are neither restricted nor committed.
The County's only assigned fund balances are in the General Fund and Capital Projects
Fund and the majority consists of the portion of fund balance that is intended to balance
the subsequent year's budget, which is conveyed by the Mayor via his approval of
allotment requests and his approval of the current year's fund balance amount to be
included in the submittal for next year's annual budget ordinance,
Unassigned Fund Balance — This is the residual classification of the General Fund. The
General Fund is the only fund that could potentially report a positive unassigned fund
balance.
Net Position
When both restricted and unrestricted net position are available for use, it is the County's
policy to use restricted net position first, and then unrestricted net position.

COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Annual Budget
The County follows these procedures in establishing its operating and capital budgets:
On or before March 1, the Mayor submits to the County Council proposed operating and
capital projects budgets for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The
operating budget includes proposed expenditures for the general fund and special revenue
funds, and the means of financing them. A project -length budget is submitted to the
County Council for the capital projects fund.
The Mayor submits to the County Council amendments to the proposed operating and
capital budgets within ten working days after the close of the state legislature, but not
later than May 5,
The County Council conducts public hearings on the proposed operating and capital
budgets after March 1 but prior to the first reading on the budget bills, which must be
after May 5,
On or before June 30, the County Council adopts the budgets, The legal level of
budgetary control is the department level because the Mayor can transfer funds from any
unencumbered appropriation to another within a department or agency without County
Council approval. During the year, the budget may be amended by action of the County
Council, except for appropriations required by law and appropriations for debt service,
which may not be decreased or deleted, Supplemental appropriations were made during
the 2016-2017 fiscal year to recognize revenue from sources not anticipated at the time of
the original budget and to establish the authorization for such funds to be expended,
Such supplemental appropriations totaled $7.7 million in the general fund and $3,3
million in the special revenue funds. Legally adopted budgets include the General Fund,
Highway Fund, Sewer Fund, Solid Waste Fund, Cemetery Fund, Parking Meter Fund,
Vehicle Disposal Fund, Bikeway Fund, Workforce Investment Act Fund, Golf Course
Fund, Geothermal Relocation and Community Benefits Fund, Beautification Fund,
Hawaii County Housing Agency Fund and Park Dedication Fund,
Appropriations for the operating budget lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent
that they have not been expended or encumbered. Appropriations for capital
expenditures that are not encumbered lapse at the end of two fiscal years following the
fiscal year that the appropriation was made.
• Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the
year for the General Fund, special revenue funds, and Capital Projects Fund. Formal
budgetary integration is not employed for debt service funds because effective budgetary
control is alternatively achieved through general obligation bond indenture provisions,
- 62 -
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
• The accompanying statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances —
budget and actual (budgetary basis) for the General Fund presents a comparison of the
legally adopted budget with actual data on a budgetary basis. Accounting principles
applied for purposes of developing data on a budgetary basis differ significantly from
those used to present financial statements in conformity with GAAP, On the budgetary
basis, intergovernmental revenues are recognized when awarded by the granting agency,
encumbrances and unexpended allotments are treated as expenditures, accounts payable
are not accrued, and all leases are treated as operating leases. In preparing the financial
statements on a GAAP basis, accounts payable are accrued and treated as a reduction of
encumbrances for balance sheet presentation.
Budget to GAAP Reconciliation
The following is a summary of the adjustments necessary to convert fund balances of the
County's General Fund from a GAAP basis to a budgetary basis at June 30, 2018:
Ending fund balance — GAAP basis $61,040,124
Encumbrance adjustments:
Beginning encumbrances and unexpended allotments 1,203,398
Ending encumbrances and unexpended allotments (1,915,855)
Other adjustments (5,599,360)
Ending fund balance — Non -GAAP budgetary basis 54 728,307
3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The Director of Finance is responsible for the safekeeping of all monies paid to the County,
The Director of Finance invests any monies of the County which in the Director's judgment
are in excess of the amounts necessary for meeting the day-to-day operating needs of the
County. Under Section 46-50 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, legally authorized investments
include obligations of or guaranteed by the U.S. government, obligations of the State,
federally insured savings and checking accounts, time certificates of deposit, and repurchase
agreements with federally insured financial institutions.
Cash
The County maintains a number of checking and savings accounts for various funds and with
various financial institutions. Bank deposits are under the custody of the Director of Finance,
For financial statement reporting purposes, cash and short-term investments consist of cash
and money market accounts. Cash and short-term investments also include repurchase
agreements, certificates of deposit, and government sponsored securities with original
maturities of three months or less,
- 63 -
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
The carrying amount of the County's deposits (cash, time certificates of deposit, and money
market accounts) as of June 30, 2018 was $199,787,954 for the primary government and
$6,590,869 for the fiduciary funds.
Information relating to bank balance, insurance and collateral of cash deposits is determined
on a county -wide basis, Total bank balances of deposits for the primary government and
fiduciary funds amounted to $212,619,665 at June 30, 2018, Of that amount, $211,528,390
represents bank balances covered by federal deposit insurance or by collateral held by the
County's fiscal agents in the name of the County, The remaining bank balances of $1,091,275
represent deposits held by a management agent and were uncollateralized, Accordingly, these
deposits were exposed to custodial credit risk, Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event
of a bank failure, the County's deposits may not be returned to it. For checking and savings
accounts, time certificates of deposit, and repurchase agreements, the County requires, in
accordance with State statutes, that the depository banks pledge collateral based on the
available bank balances for the protection of the funds deposited. All securities pledged as
collateral are held by the County's fiscal agents in the name of the County, The County also
requires that no more than 60% of the County's total funds available for deposit may be
deposited in any one financial institution, in accordance with State statutes,
Investments
The County holds investments both for its own benefit and on behalf of some of the fiduciary
funds. The County's investments of funds not required for immediate payments are
predominately comprised of government sponsored securities (equivalent to the rating in U,S.
Treasuries), repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit, while the fiduciary funds also
hold equity securities.
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3), The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that a government can access at the measurement date. An active market is a
market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency
and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis,
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for
an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, If the asset or liability has a specified
(contractual) term, a level 2 input must be observable for most of the full term of the asset
or liability. Level 2 inputs include:
• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
-64-
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
• Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market
data by correlation or other means,
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable for an asset or liability,
Following is a description of the valuation techniques used by the County to measure fair
value:
Government sponsored securities of $24,461,861 and certificates of deposits of
$49,970,582: Valued using quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are
not active (Level 2).
Equity securities of $1,606,656: Valued using quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that a government can access at the measurement date (Level
1).
The County's investments and maturities at June 30, 2018 are as follows:
Investments — Primary Government:
Certificates of deposit
Government sponsored securities
Maturity (in years)
Fair Value Less than 1 1— 5

Interest Rate Risk: The County minimizes its exposure to interest rate risk by limiting the
maturities of investments to five years or less in compliance with state statute, The County's
policy is to hold investments until maturity and does not engage in trading for capital gains.
Credit Risk: The County's investment portfolio primarily consists of U.S. government or
agency obligations, bonds of government sponsored enterprises, time certificates of deposit
- 65 -
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
and repurchase agreements, These investments are either insured by the FDIC, secured by
collateral or carry a credit rating equivalent to U,S. Treasuries.
Custodial Risk: Custodial risk is the risk of loss from the failure of the counterparty, which is
defined as any entity that obtained an investment on behalf of the County. All of the County's
deposits including repurchase agreements are secured by collateral which is kept by a third
party custodian, Broker-dealers utilized by the County are members of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation, and all investment securities are held in the County's name.
Concentration of Credit Risk: State law limits deposits to no more than 60% of the total in
any one depository. The County seeks to further diversify its portfolio by purchasing from
different issuers, by purchasing different types of investments and by purchasing investments
at different maturities. The County also purchases its investments from a number of banks
and broker-dealers both located locally and on the mainland, As of June 30, 2018,
investments were distributed as follows: El N Financial, 4,4%; Multi Bank Securities, 15.3%;

9. SOLID WASTE LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COSTS
Hilo Landfill The County owns and operates a landfill located in the city of Hilo. State and
federal laws require the County to place covers on certain landfill sites and to monitor and
maintain the sites for thirty years after the facility is closed. Although the closure and
postclosure care costs will be paid near and after the date that the landfill stops accepting
waste, the County recognizes a portion of the closure and postclosure care costs in each
operating period. The liability for these costs is included in the government -wide statement of
net position. The amount recognized each year is based on the landfill capacity used as of the
statement of net position date. At June 30, 2018, the County recognized a liability of
$21,782,000, based on the use of 98% of the estimated capacity of the landfill, During the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, there was $387,000 in expenditures incurred for the closure
of the landfill. The remaining $346,000 in estimated cost of closure and postclosure care will
be recognized as the remaining estimated capacity is used, The estimated remaining useful
life of the landfill is approximately one year, These amounts are based on what it would cost
to perform the required closure and postclosure care in 2018. Actual costs at that time may be
higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
Landfill capacity estimates are based on volumes going into the landfill subsequent to the last
available engineer's calculation. The volumes going into the landfill do not account for
decomposition, settlement, and corrosion; therefore the estimates are revised when new
engineering calculations, based on aerial photos and surveys, are available,
The County's permit to operate the landfill expired October 9, 1998, The County filed for an
extension which was approved by the State until permitted capacity is reached. In accordance
with state statute, the County is allowed to continue operations provided that the County acts
consistently with the permit previously granted and the extension application, plans,
specifications and all other information contained therein,
Kealakehe In October 1993, the County closed its Kealakehe landfill in Kona. Under state
and federal requirements, the County would have to monitor and maintain this site for ten
years from the closure date, However, the County anticipates monitoring and maintaining the
site for thirty years because there is presently a subterranean fire which requires active
management. The estimated cost of closure and postclosure is $17,059,000, based on what it
would cost to perform the required closure and postclosure care in 2018, Actual costs may be
higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations, Through
June 30, 2018, $8,833,000 was spent on closure and postclosure care of the landfill,

COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
The remaining estimated liability of $8,225,000 is included in the government -wide statement
of net position. During the year ended June 30, 2018, $174,000 was spent on closure of the
landfill. The County is providing financial assurance for postclosure care and remediation
through self insurance as explained below.
Pu'uanahulu In May 1993, the County contracted with a private company to construct and
operate a new landfill on County land at Pu'uanahulu in West Hawai'i, The present contract
calls for County employees to perform the daily operations of the landfill, and for the private
company to retain the overall management as well as perform all construction work on the
landfill cells, Under the terms of the contract, the County has no responsibility for
remediation, closure or postclosure care. Accordingly, no liability for this landfill is included
in the County's financial statements,
Financial Assurance For fiscal year 2018, the County has provided for financial resources
that will be available to provide for closure, postclosure care and remediation or containment
of environmental hazards at the above landfills, except Pu'uanahulu, The Environmental
Protection Agency's financial assurance rules include a local government financial test
consisting of a financial component, a public notice component, and a recordkeeping
component. Local governments are required to satisfy each of the three components to pass
the annual test. Management believes that the County has satisfied each of the components of
the local government financial assurance requirements,
In fiscal year 2013, the County closed its two metal salvage facilities located near the Hilo and
Kealakehe Transfer Stations, State law requires the County to perform necessary closure
activities, including, but not limited to, the removal of all remaining solid waste and
performing appropriate site assessments and remedial activities, The estimated liability
($13,144,000) for the remediation costs associated with these closures is included in the
County's financial statements and is based on closure plans prepared by a science and
engineering consultant contracted by the County, and the current value of costs expected to be
incurred, The liability could change over time due to inflation or deflation, changes in
technology, or changes in laws and regulations governing the remediation effort.

Fund Balances - Debt Service Funds
The fund balance in the debt service funds at June 30, 2018 includes $30,639,530, which is
reserved for principal payments on general obligation bonds and $2,756,951, which is
reserved for the payment of interest on the bonds.
Enterprise Fund Notes, Bond and Loan Payable
On February 12, 2013, the County issued general obligation bonds on behalf of Kula'imano
Elderly Housing Project (Project) to pay off its two notes payable to the U,S. Department of
Agriculture, Farmers Home Administration with principal and interest balances aggregating
$835,108, The Project is responsible for the debt service payment related to their portion of
the bonds, which is also secured with the County's general obligation pledge. Because the
Project is responsible for only a portion of the total bonds issued, it was decided that the
Project would continue to make bond payments equivalent to its previous monthly installment
payments of $7,826 on the old notes at 5,547% interest. Under this payment schedule, the
Project will make contributions through 2025 of the bonds 2032 maturity date.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contractual commitments — Contractual commitments for capital projects, expenses, and
supplies at June 30, 2018, except in the enterprise funds, are reflected in the balance sheets as
a part of the respective fund balance categories and are as follows:
General fund $ 4,546,560
Capital projects fund 76,949,066
Bond redemption fund --
Nonmajor funds 6,913,235
$ 88 408 861
Contractual commitments for the enterprise funds were immaterial,
Intergovernmental revenues — The County has received federal and state grants for specific
purposes that are subject to review and audit by grantor agencies, Such audits could lead to
requests for reimbursement to the grantor agency for expenditures disallowed under terms of
the grants. In the opinion of management of the County, disallowed costs, if any, would not
be material.
Claims — Numerous claims and lawsuits have been filed against the County in the normal
course of its operations, A liability for probable losses is included on the government -wide
statement of net position (see Note 12). Although the outcome of the various claims and
lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the County's Corporation Counsel,
the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
of the County.
ADA compliance — The County entered into a stipulated agreement, filed on June 4, 1998,
which relates to the Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks), The agreement required
Parks to establish practices, policies and procedures regarding its programs, and prepare a
transition plan by the middle of the year 2000, The self-evaluation and transition plan for
programs, practices and procedures has been completed and approved by the County Council.
The cost impact of implementation is not material because the necessary modifications are
primarily procedural, The second part of this stipulated agreement is the reevaluation of all
County facilities, which was completed and accepted by the County Council on June 30,
2000. Approximately 240 County facilities were surveyed as part of this effort. The tentative
completion date of all necessary repairs and renovations was 12 years from the date the
County Council accepted the self-evaluation, The initial (1997-2000) estimated cost of the
facilities repairs was $15,1 million, which would have been spent over the 12 -year period,
Funding allocated initially for facilities repairs was $17.5 million, with another $4 million of
federal funding anticipated through community development block grants over the next 2
years, The Department of Public Works has requested an additional $2 million a year for the
other County ADA facilities' project, Because of severe disparities that surfaced between the
original ADA projects' scoping and construction estimates and actual scopes and costs, as
-84-
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
well as time/delivery issues that came into play because of necessary permits and reviews, and
design professionals' costs that weren't factored into the effort, the County sought relief from
the Court in the form of both a time extension and reprioritization of sites, As a result, the
County obtained approval of a modified 4 -year plan wherein accessibility improvements
would be required to be completed by December 31, 2016 at 35 remaining park sites, At this
time, a new target completion date is being discussed, The balance of the inaccessible sites
would be deferred indefinitely pending improvement/enhancement projects that would
inherently trigger accessibility improvements due to the nature of scoping and applicable
ADA requirements. Of the 35 remaining parks requiring accessibility improvements, 15 have
been completed, 3 are in construction though substantially completed, 7 are in design, and 10
are either pending consultant selection or finalization of contract, A project that was
previously deferred was placed back into the plan in the pending consultant selection
category. The County has currently encumbered or spent more than $17,6M on these projects.
The County had spent $42,0 million for the construction and design fees to complete 50 park
facilities (some having multiple ADA work being completed) prior to the development of the
modified four year plan, In addition, the County's ADA coordinator (Equal Opportunity
Officer) has access to an identifiable account of at least $50,000 to handle requests for
reasonable accommodations for County departments; and the procedures for these requests
have been finalized and are available on the Human Resources Department's Equal
Opportunity and the ADA web page. Also, Parks has a Recreation Specialist who reviews
and investigates requests for reasonable accommodations, and recommends specific actions
on those requests,
12. RISK MANAGEMENT
The County is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The
County obtains insurance for property (including coverage on a high deductible basis for
natural disasters of hurricane, flood and earthquake). It also purchases insurance for flood on
selected structures, medical malpractice for emergency medical services, aviation liability for
helicopter operations, retired senior volunteers liability coverage, auto liability for mass transit
buses and privately owned police vehicles, and auto physical damage coverage on County
Police fleet vehicles and the Kohala Ranch fire truck, The County also obtains property
coverage on several County housing projects (Kula'imano, Ouli Ekahi and Ulu Wini). There
was no reduction in insurance coverage during the year from coverage in the prior year.
During the past three fiscal years, the amount of settlements in cases covered by insurance has
not exceeded the insurance coverage, The County is substantially self-insured for general
liability, the majority of its vehicles as well as for all other exposure including workers'
compensation, As such, emphasis is placed on claims management and safety/risk control to
mitigate loss costs, The liability for claims and judgments is reported on the government -wide
statement of net position and the majority will be liquidated from the County's general fund,
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of that loss
can be reasonably estimated. These losses include an estimate of claims that have been
incurred but not reported (IBNR). Claim liabilities, including IBNR, are based on the
estimated ultimate cost of settling the claims, and include incremental costs for the hiring of
special counsel and expert witnesses, Claims liabilities are estimated by a case-by-case
review of all claims and the application of historical experience to outstanding claims,
Estimates of IBNR are based on historical experience, The liability for claims and judgments
is reported on the government -wide statement of net position, At June 30, 2018, the amount
of this liability was $18,135,409, This is the County's best estimate based on available
information. Changes in the reported liability since July 1, 2016 are given below,

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Pensions — Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii
Pension Plan Description - All eligible employees of the State and counties are provided with
pensions through a cost-sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan administered
by the Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawai'i (ERS). Benefit terms,
eligibility, and contribution requirements are established by HRS Chapter 88 and can be
amended through legislation. The ERS issues a publicly available financial report that can be
obtained at ERS's website: http://ers.ehawaii.gov/.
Benefits Provided - The ERS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits that are
covered by the provisions of the noncontributory, contributory, and hybrid retirement plans.
The three plans provide a monthly retirement allowance equal to the benefit multiplier
(generally 1.25% or 2%) multiplied by the average final compensation multiplied by years of
credited service. The benefit multiplier decreased by 0.25% for new hybrid and contributory
plan members hired after June 30, 2012. Average final compensation is based on the five
highest paid years of service excluding the payment of salary in lieu of vacation for members
hired after June 30, 2012. For those hired between January 1, 1971 and June 30, 2012, AFC is
based on the three highest paid years of service excluding the payment of salary in lieu of
vacation. If the employee was hired prior to January 1, 1971, the AFC is the average salary
- 86 -
COUNTY OF HAWAII
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

earned during the five highest paid years of service, including the payment of salary in lieu of
vacation, or three highest paid years of service, excluding the payment of salary in lieu of
vacation,
For members hired before July 1, 2012, the original retirement allowance is increased by 2.5%
each July 1 following the calendar year of retirement. This cumulative benefit is not
compounded and increases each year by 2.5% of the original retirement allowance without a
ceiling (2,5% of the original retirement allowance the first year, 5.0% the second year, 7.5%
the third year, etc.), For members hired after June 30, 2012 the post-retirement annuity
increase was decreased to 1,5% per year.
Retirement benefits for certain groups, such as police officers, firefighters, some investigators,
sewer workers, judges, and elected officials, vary from general employees,

age or, if the member was eligible for retirement at the time of death, the surviving
spouse/reciprocal beneficiary receives 100% joint and survivor lifetime pension,

$609,904,199 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability
was measured as of June 30, 2017, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The County's
proportion of the net pension liability was based on the actual employer contributions to the

Mortality rates used in the actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017 were based on the
following:
Active members — Multiples of the RP 2014 mortality table for active employees based
on the occupation of the member.
Healthy retirees — The 2016 Public Retirees of Hawai'i mortality table, generational
projection using the BB projection table from the year 2016 and with multipliers based on
plan and group experience.
Disabled retirees — Base Table for healthy retiree's occupation, set forward 5 years,
generational projection using the BB projection table from the year 2016, Minimum
mortality rate of 3,5% for males and 2.5% for females.
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the five-year period ending June 30, 2015. The major changes
to assumptions resulting from the 2015 actuarial experience study were (1) a decrease in the
investment return assumption from 7.65% to 7.00% and (2) the mortality assumptions were
modified to assume longer life expectancies as well as to reflect continuous mortality
improvement. ERS updates their experience studies every five years.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best -estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of
return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation
percentage and by adding expected inflation,

Discount rate — The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7,00%, which
was the same rate used at the prior measurement date, The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current
contribution rate and that contributions from the County will be made at statutorily required
rates, actuarially determined, Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net
position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current
active and inactive employees, Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the
total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the County's proportionate share of the net pension liability to changes in the
discount rate — The following presents the County's proportionate share of the net pension
liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.00%, as well as what the County's
proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount

Post -Retirement Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the County is required by state statute (HRS Chapter
87A) to contribute to the Hawaii Employer -Union Health Benefits Trust Fund (the EUTF).
The EUTF is an agent, multiple -employer defined benefit plan providing certain healthcare
and life insurance benefits to all qualified retirees, active employees, their dependents and
their beneficiaries.
Benefits Provided Chapter 87A of the HRS grants the authority to establish and amend the
benefit terms to the board of trustees of the EUTF. The EUTF currently provides medical,
prescription drug, dental, vision, chiropractic, supplemental medical and prescription drug,
and group life insurance benefits for retirees and their dependents, The following table
provides a summary of the number of employees covered by the benefit terms as of July 1,
2017.
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 1,595
Inactive employees entitled but not yet receiving benefit payments 218
Active employees 2.394
4,207
Contributions — The County's contribution levels are established by Chapter 87A of the HRS.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the County was required to contribute a minimum
amount equal to at least 80% of the annual required contribution (ARC), as determined by an
actuary retained by the board of trustees of the EUTF, The county will be required to
contribute 100% of the ARC starting in fiscal year 2019, The ARC represents a level of
funding that is sufficient to cover, 1) the normal cost, which is the cost of the other
postemployment benefits attributable to the current year of service; and 2) an amortization
payment, which is a catch-up payment for past service costs to fund the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability over the next thirty years, For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018,
contributions to the OPEB Plan form the County totaled $32,829,013 which resulted in an
average contribution rate of approximately 18.8% of covered -employee payroll,
For employees hired prior to July 1, 1996, the County pays the entire monthly healthcare
premium for employees retiring with 10 or more years of credited service, and 50% of the
monthly premium for employees retiring with fewer than 10 years of credited service. The
current (pay-as-you-go) premium costs are paid by the respective funds but the net other
postemployment benefit obligation is paid by the General Fund.
For employees hired after June 30, 1996, and who retire with fewer than 10 years of service,
the County makes no contributions, For those retiring with at least 10 years but fewer than 15
years of service, the County pays 50% of the retired employees' monthly Medicare or non -
Medicare premium. For employees hired after June 30, 1996, and who retire with at least 15
years but fewer than 25 years of service, the County pays 75% of the retired employees'

Medicare premium based on the self -plan. For employees hired after June 30, 2001, and who
retire with at least 15 years but fewer than 25 years of service, the County pays 75% of the
retired employees' monthly Medicare or non -Medicare premium; for those retiring with over
25 years of service, the County pays the entire healthcare premium.
For active employees, the employee's contributions are based upon negotiated collective
bargaining agreements. Employer contributions for employees not covered by collective
bargaining agreements and for retirees are prescribed by the HRS.
Net OPEB liability — The County's net OPEB liability was measured as of July I, 2017, and
the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date, There were no changes between the measurement date, July

Discount rate — The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 7.00%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the County will fund
the recommended actuarially determined contribution, which is based on layered, closed
amortization periods, Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position is
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan
members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was
applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

All plan assets are held in a trust fund to protect them from claims of general creditors and
from diversion to any uses other than paying benefits to participants and beneficiaries, The
County has no responsibility for loss due to the investment or failure of investment of funds
and assets in the plans, but does have the duty of due care that would be required of an
ordinary prudent investor. Therefore, the deferred compensation plan assets are not reported
in the accompanying basic financial statements.

June 30, 2018
Note — Significant Methods and Assumptions
An actuarial valuation of the County's and Department's liability associated with other
postemployment benefits other than pension provided through the EUTF is performed as of July 1
of each odd -numbered year (e.g. July 1, 2015). This actuarial valuation serves as the basis for
developing the annual required contributions (ARC) for the two fiscal years which begin one year
after the actuarial valuation date. For example, the ARC for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018
and 2017 were developed from the actuarial valuation as of July I, 2015. Beginning July 1, 2017,
the EUTF will be completing an actuarial valuation on an annual basis.
The following summarizes the significant methods and assumptions used to determine the
actuarially determined contribution for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018:
Actuarial valuation date July 1, 2015
Actuarial cost method Entry Age Normal
Amortization method Level percent, closed
Equivalent single amortization period 19.9
Asset valuation method Market
Inflation rate 3.00%
Investment rate of return 7.00%
Payroll growth 3.50%
Healthcare cost trend rates
PPO Initial rate of 9%, declining to a rate of 5% after
8 years
HMO Initial rate of 7%, declining to a rate of 5% after
8 years
Part B Initial rate of 3% for the first two years,
5% thereafter
Dental 4.00%
Vision 3.00%
Life Insurance 0.00%
The actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2009, which was used to develop the ARC for the fiscal years
2011 and 2012, included a reduction to the discount rate used from the prior valuation. The
discount rate changed from a blended discount rate of 7% - 8% to 7%. This resulted in an overall
increase to the actuarially determined OPEB liability and the ARC.
There were no other factors that significantly affected trends in the amounts reported in the
schedule of changes in the net OPEB liability and related ratios or the schedule of contributions
(OPEB).

Note — Changes of Assumptions
There were no changes of assumptions or other inputs that significantly affected the measurement
of the total pension liability since the measurement period ended June 30, 2016.
Amounts reported in the schedule of the proportionate share of the net pension liability as of the
measurement period ended June 30, 2016 (fiscal year ended June 30, 2017) were significantly
impacted by the following changes of actuarial assumptions:
The investment return assumption decreased from 7.65% to 7.00%.
Mortality assumptions were modified to assume longer life expectancies as well as to reflect
continuous mortality improvement.
Prior to the measurement period ended June 30, 2016 (fiscal year ended June 30, 2017), there were
no other factors, including the use of different assumptions that significantly affect trends reported
in these schedules.
