2. MAJOR CHANGES AND/OR VARIANCES IN OPERATIONS BUDGET
• Our Grant-In-Aid budget has decreased by $494,065 , which was a one-time grant
given to Kaua'i Philipp ine Cultural Center by the previous administration.
• Our Consultant Services budget has increased by $12 ,500 for the County 's
Legislat ive Web Tracking System. However, there is no increase to the overall
Operations Budget , as this line item was previously funded through the Office of
Boards and Commissions .
Position Changes:
• The Life 's Choices Coordinator has been reassigned to a position in the Housing
Agency for Hale Kokua.
o An additional $16 ,500 in various accounts that were part of the Life 's Choices
budget was subsequently moved to the Housing Agency 's budget for Hale
Kokua.
• The Mayor's Administrative Aide (Pos . #E-63) position description was re-described
to reflect the duties of a Policy/Legislative Analyst.
• The Mayor's Administrative Aide (Pos. #9151) was re-described from the previous
Life's Choices Coordinator position .
• Program Specialist I (Pos . #9154) is a grant-funded position that was moved to the
Housing Agency 's budget for Hale Kokua .
3. OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES
• As with any incoming administration , there are new directives and strategic priorities .
As a new staff, we are quickly learning the roles of the Mayor's Office , and we
believe our new position descriptions adequately reflect those roles and
responsibilities . We believe that we have the appropriate staff to manage the various
county departments , while serving as a liaison between the County Council and the
administration , and facilitating the County's State and Federal legislative agendas.
The Mayor's Office is also the hub for communication between the public , county
departments , and partnering government agencies .
• Due to several retirements with in the Mayor's Office this past year , we are facing the
challenge of paying retirement and benefits that were not budgeted in the FY19
budget. We remain committed to adhering to our obligations and have shifted
funding to address these responsibilities .
• We are revising the Grant-in-Aid program which previously relied on earmarks to
now reflect a more competitive grant process , and reduce the chance of duplicate
efforts with the Office of Economic Development's (OED) Grant-in-Aid program . In
order to be consistent with our fellow programs , the Mayor's Office Grant-In-Aid
program will use the same procedure and process as the OED .
