DHHL a l s o r e c e n t l y began to provide economic development s e r v i c e s to n a t i v e Hawaiians. DHHL employs a s t a f f of approximately 90 people and c o n t r a c t s for c e r t a i n s e r v i c e s such as t h e planning, design, and c o n s t r u c t i on of r e s i d e n t i a l s u b d i v i s i o n s improvements, and a g r i c u l t u r a l t e c h n i c al e x p e r t i s e . Funding for DHHL programs is provided by S t a t e of Hawaii general o b l i g a t i o n bonds and DHHL's revenue r e c e i p t s . The S t a t e of Hawaii provided approximately $6.2 m i l l i on d u r i n g f i s c a l year 1981 and DHHL's r e c e i p t s t o t a l e d about $6.4 m i l l i o n. The five primary sources of DHHL r e c e i p t s are i n t e r e s t income, lease r e n t , p r i n c i p a l repayments, r e c e i p ts from sugar cane land l e a s e s and water l i c e n s e s now s p e c i f i c a l l y earmarked for the Native Hawaiian R e h a b i l i t a t i on Fund, and miscellaneous r e c e i p ts (primary rock and sand s a l e s and p a s t u r e and water f e e s ) . Receipts for f i s c a l year 1981 were as follows: Source I n t e r e s t - l o a n funds I n t e r e s t - i n v e s t m e n t s in time c e r t i f i c a t e s of d e p o s i t Lease r e n t a ls Native Hawaiian R e h a b i l i t a t i o n Fund Miscellaneous Loan p r i n c i p a l repayments Total r e c e i p ts Amoun t $1,884,181 740,260 1,418,803 1,015,916 231,673 1,139,090 $6,429,923 Seven revolving funds and e i g ht s p e c i a l funds have been e s t a b l i s h e d to account for revenues and e x p e n d i t u r es under the Act. The funds and sources of revenues for each are shown in Table 66. In a d d i t i o n , DHHL is r e s p o n s i b l e for approximately 50 bond fund a c c o u n t s. DHHL's a d m i n i s t r a t i v e and o p e r a t i o n a l a c t i v i t i e s are funded by commercial l e a s i n g revenues s u b j e c t to budget approval by the S t a te l e g i s l a t u r e . As p r e v i o u s l y shown, DHHL has 92,239 acres of land under g e n e r a l l e a s e s , for which income of about $1.4 m i l l i o n was received in 1981. Thus, about 50 p e r c e n t of the a v a i l a b l e land is c u r r e n t l y used to o b t a i n funds for DHHL a d m i n i s t r a t i ve needs. The DHHL has a s t a t e d goal to s u b s t a n t i a l l y reduce the acreage of lands under general lease and make t h e s e lands a v a i l a b l e for d i r e c t use by n a t i v e Hawaiians. In order to m a i n t a i n s u f f i c i e n t income to a d m i n i s t e r the program and yet reduce a c r e a g e under general l e a s e , the DHHL p l a n s to focus on high revenue commercial and i n d u s t r i a l use l e a s e s. C. HIGHLIGHTS 1. Although land is the e s s e n t i al element of the Home lands program, e f f e c t i v e a c c o u n t a b i l i t y for the land has not been e s t a b l i s h e d. a. The DHHL does not have a complete or a c c u r a te i n v e n t o r y of the 203,500 a c r e s of " a v a i l a b l e lands" as designated under the Act, nor of the 190,000 acres t h a t DHHL now claims r e s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r . A major o b s t a c l e in e s t a b l i s h i ng a c c o u n t a b i l i t y for the lands i s the absence of a d e f i n i t i v e d e s c r i p t i o n of " a v a i l a b l e lands" and a complete survey of the l a n d s . DHHL does not have t h e necessary resources to r e s e a r c h and develop a comprehensive land inventory system. 376
