The Mayor of Honolulu testified before the House Committee on Finance regarding the city's financial health and priorities. Key points included: (1) Ensuring the city can rely on timely payments from the state's collection of the general excise tax surcharge to fund the city's rail project. (2) Requesting the legislature review the "necessary and proper" costs for the state to collect the surcharge given the large fee retained. (3) Asking the legislature to remove the cap and increase the city's allocation of transient accommodations tax revenues given the city spends double its allocation on tourism-related services.
The Mayor returned two bills relating to the city's operating and capital budgets unsigned, citing several concerns:
1) Restrictions placed on funding vacant positions and salary increases will weaken city services like police, parks, and sewers.
2) Provisions relating to HART's budgets exceed the City Council's authority.
3) A restrictive proviso on recycling services funding prevents the city from meeting recycling goals and laws.
4) Deletion of funding for relocating the flood-prone Hau'ula Fire Station compromises community safety.
The document summarizes the agenda and discussions from a city budget committee meeting. It includes presentations from various department heads on proposed budgets and cuts. It also provides an overview of the capital improvement budget, examples of proposed capital projects, and recommendations to balance the city's budget for the upcoming fiscal year which includes cuts, hiring freezes, use of reserve funds, and a proposed property tax increase.

Through the County’s Strategic
Plan the community has identified
the initiatives they believe will take
us toward our vision and these
choices directed the development
of the Proposed Budget and 2015-
2019 Five Year Plan, within the
overall guidance provided by the
BOCS. The upcoming public
hearings provide the community
with yet another opportunity to
make their voices heard, and the
Our Community

the community says they want in
terms of services with what they are
willing to pay for those services to
form the adopted budget.

to our vision to do the “right
thing for our customers and the
community every time.” History
shows that when this organization
works together with the Board
and the community to make tough
decisions, our combined efforts
move us toward our adopted vision.

Audit of the Department of the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney’s Policies, Proc...Honolulu Civil Beat
This audit was conducted pursuant to Resolution 19-255,
requesting the city auditor to conduct a performance audit of the Honolulu Police Department and the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney’s policies and procedures related to employee misconduct.
Audit of the Honolulu Police Department’s Policies, Procedures, and ControlsHonolulu Civil Beat
The audit objectives were to:
1. Evaluate the effectiveness of HPD’s existing policies, procedures, and controls to identify and respond to complaints or incidents concerning misconduct, retaliation, favoritism, and abuses of power by its management and employees;
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of HPD's management control environment and practices to correct errors and prevent any misconduct, retaliation, favoritism, and abuses of power by its
management and employees; and
3. Make recommendations to improve HPD’s policies, procedures, and controls to minimize and avoid future managerial and operational breakdowns caused by similar misconduct.
The report summarizes use of force incidents by the Honolulu Police Department in 2019. There were 2,354 reported incidents, an increase from 2018. Physical confrontation techniques were used most often (53% of applications). The most common types of incidents requiring force were simple assault (13.4%), mental health cases (13.2%), and miscellaneous public cases (6.7%). Most incidents occurred on Mondays and Saturdays between midnight and 1:59am and involved males aged 34 on average, with the largest proportion being Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders (34.5%).
The Office of Health Equity aims to eliminate health disparities in Hawaii. Its vision is for policies and programs to improve the health of underserved groups. Its mission is to increase the capacity of Hawaii's health department and providers to eliminate disparities and improve quality of life. The office identifies disparities, recommends actions to the health director, and coordinates related activities and programs. It works to establish partnerships, identify health needs, develop culturally appropriate interventions, and promote national health objectives. The office's strategic goals are to increase awareness of disparities, strengthen leadership, improve outcomes through social determinants, improve cultural competency, and improve research coordination.
The document calls for unity and collaboration between Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities in Hawaii to address COVID-19. It summarizes that government leaders have failed citizens by being slow to respond to the crisis, not working together effectively, and one in three COVID cases impacting Pacific Islanders. It calls on officials to take stronger, transparent leadership and get resources like contact tracers deployed quickly from Pacific Islander communities. Each day without action will lead to more cases, hospitalizations and deaths. It establishes a response team to improve COVID data and policies for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities.
This letter from the ACLU of Hawaii to the Honolulu Police Department raises concerns about racial disparities in HPD's enforcement of COVID-19 orders and use of force. It cites data showing Micronesians, Black people, Samoans and those experiencing homelessness were disproportionately arrested. It recommends HPD end aggressive enforcement of minor offenses, racial profiling, and using arrest statistics to measure performance. It also calls for implicit bias training, data collection and transparency regarding police stops, searches and arrests.

This document provides guidance for large or extended families living together during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommends designating one or two household members who are not at high risk to run necessary errands. When leaving the house, those individuals should avoid crowds, maintain social distancing, frequently wash hands, avoid touching surfaces, and wear cloth face coverings. The document also provides tips for protecting high-risk household members, children, caring for sick members, isolating the sick, and eating meals together while feeding a sick person.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) requests that the State of Hawaii prioritize collecting and reporting disaggregated data on Native Hawaiians relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, OHA asks for disaggregated data from the Departments of Health, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Human Services on topics like COVID-19 cases, unemployment claims, and applications for assistance programs. Disaggregated data is critical to understand how the pandemic is impacting Native Hawaiians and to direct resources most effectively. OHA also requests information on how race data is currently collected by these agencies.
The CLA audit of OHA from 2012-2016 found significant issues in OHA's procurement processes and identified $7.8 million across 32 transactions as potentially fraudulent, wasteful, or abusive. The audit found 85% of transactions reviewed contained issues of noncompliance with policies and laws, while 17% (32 transactions) were flagged as "red flags". Common issues included missing procurement documents, lack of evidence that contractors delivered on obligations, and contracts incorrectly classified as exempt from competitive bidding. The audit provides a roadmap for OHA to investigate potential wrongdoing and implement reforms to address deficiencies.
This document provides a list of pro bono legal service providers for immigration courts in Honolulu, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. However, as of the January 2018 revision date, there are no registered pro bono legal organizations for the immigration courts in Honolulu, Hawaii, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands. The document also notes that the Executive Office for Immigration Review maintains this list of qualified pro bono legal service providers as required by regulation, but that it does not endorse or participate in the work of the listed organizations.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Mayor Kirk Caldwell issued a statement regarding the construction of a multi-purpose field at Waimānalo Bay Beach Park. City Council member Ikaika Anderson had requested halting all grubbing work until September 15 out of concern for the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat. However, the environmental assessment states grubbing of woody plants over 15 feet tall should not occur after June 1 to protect young bats. The city contractor will finish grubbing by the end of May as required. Canceling the contract would cost $300,000 in taxpayer money. Therefore, the city will proceed with completing Phase 1, including a multi-purpose field, play area, and parking lot, for $1.43 million, and will review additional
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Capital Budget Review
Pro/ect Review -
In view of the City’s increasing debt burden, new CIP projects should be justified as to: (1) why
they are necessary; and (2) why they must be implemented in this budget cycle. This requirement
for justification includes projects that received planning and/or design funding in the past, but
have not yet gone out to bid. Ongoing projects should be discussed in terms oftheir current
status, projected completion date and amounts expended and encumbered to date versus amounts
appropriated.
Multiple Work Phases
Very few projects appropriating funds for both pre-construction (i.e., land acquisition, planning,
design) and construction work phases within the same budget ordinance are implemented within
the 24-month fiscal year. Therefore, pleasejustify why projects proposing such multi-phase
funding in a single fiscal year should be appropriated. Explain in detail how all proposed
budgeted phases would be implemented in the same fiscal year.
Operating Budget Review
I am requesting that the Operating Budget Review Presentations be brief and focused on the
departmental budgets, not on background about the departments. A hard copy of each
department’s presentation should be available to all councilmembers before or at the time of a
department’s designated briefing slot.
Each department’s Operating budget review should contain:
1. Details of changes between the FY12 and FY13 Operating budgets.
2. Discussion of budget issues new proposals or changes in operations.
-
3. Discussion ofvacancies, including the current number of vacant positions, the number of
vacancies that are expected to be filled by July 1, the number of vacancies that are
expected to be filled during FY13, and the number ofvacant positions that may be
abolished.
4. Discussion of changes in revenue sources for the department’s budget.

Departmental Budget Briefing Schedule
Adherence to the Departmental Budget Briefing Schedule should be made a priority. However,
should a department wish to change the designated slot for its presentation, the following
procedure is to be followed:
1. Requests for changes will only be accepted on or before Friday, February 10, 2012.
2. Each department wishing to make a change must confer with the department they wish to
exchange slots with. The initiating department will then call the Budget Committee Aide,
Darcie Ching, at Extension 83819 to confirm the switch.
Your cooperation with the above process would be appreciated. I look forward to an informative
departmental budget review.
