53-22 Governmental advances, donations, and other appropriations.

§53-22 Governmental advances, donations, and other appropriations. (a) The governor shall submit to the legislature at each regular session in an odd-numbered year, estimates of the amount reasonably required in the governor's judgment for administrative expenses and overhead of agencies concerned with the administration of this part, together with other amounts deemed necessary by the governor for state contributions for redevelopment projects, for the succeeding fiscal biennium, so that the legislature may make appropriations therefor if it deems the action advisable.
(b) Any county within which a redevelopment project is located or is about to be located may from time to time make loans, donations, or advances to the local redevelopment agency of such sums as in its discretion it may determine, the loans, advances, or donations to be made for the purpose of aiding or cooperating in the prosecution of the redevelopment project. The local agency, when it has money available therefor, shall reimburse the county for all advances made by way of a loan to it. For the purpose of raising funds for donation to an agency, any county within which a redevelopment project is located may issue and sell its bonds. Any bonds to be issued by the county pursuant to this section shall be issued in the manner and within the limitation prescribed by the laws of the State for the issuance and authorization of bonds for public purposes generally.
(c) In order to qualify for the allotment and expenditure of funds appropriated by the State under this section, for any redevelopment project or for assistance to a local redevelopment agency, the county shall make funds available to the agency in amounts at least equal to the funds granted or contributed, or to be granted or contributed, by the State. The council may make funds available for any of the purposes (including studies by the planning commission to determine and recommend for redevelopment blighted areas, and other activities of the planning commission under this part) of this part (whether or not state funds shall be available for any of such purposes) out of any moneys in the general fund of the county, and may include necessary amounts therefor in determining the real property tax rate for the county. The amount which, pursuant to this subsection, is included in determining the real property tax rate for the county, shall be paid into the redevelopment fund of the county for expenditure by the agency for the purposes of this part.
(d) All state appropriations made under this section shall be allocated to the respective redevelopment agencies upon the basis of actual need therefor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(e) The governor shall submit to the legislature at each regular session in an odd-numbered year, estimates of the amount of additional appropriation necessary in the governor's judgment for use by the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation in the succeeding fiscal biennium, in providing living facilities necessary to care for families displaced or to be displaced by redevelopment projects, so that the legislature may make appropriations therefor if it deems the action advisable.
