• Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE) – $9,000 • Kahului Airport (OGG) – $8,213,524 / $812,106 (Concession) “We’re grateful to be able to have the support to make travel in Hawaii efficient and safe,” Airports Deputy Director Ross Higashi. “U.S. DOT and our federal delegation have made it possible for us to offer support to our partners and ensure continued service in the islands.”

HDOT previously offered rent deferral to airport tenants between April 1, 2020, and Oct. 31, 2020, to offset the decline in air traffic and waived landing fees for Moloka’i and Lana’i Airports for a one-year period beginning March 1, 2021.

Message from our Director By: Jade Butay Aloha HDOT ‘Ohana: The competence and wisdom of our employees were truly evident in March as they overcame some new challenges. Many of you are aware that a landslide occurred in Kauai on March 11 that completely blocked Kuhio Highway on Hanalei Hill leading to Hanalei Bridge. What you may not know is that the highway was already closed since March 9 when there was a smaller landslide.Thanks to Highways Kaua’i District Engineer Larry Dill who assessed the dangerous slope created by the March 9 landslide, serious injuries were avoided on March 11when over 15,000 cubic yards of debris fell on the road. For the latest infor-mation on Hanalei Hill, visit https://hidot.hawaii.gov/2021-hanalei-hill-landslide/.

We also continue to have a lot of excitement with the Hawai’i Information Portal’s rollout of the State’s Time and Leave system to the HDOT. Not to show my age, but I remember when we used ed to submit leave requests and timesheets using typewriters and carbon Like anything b paper!! Lik thi new, sometimes it takes time and patience to get used to. I hope you see the benefits in leave accounting and reporting of payable time electronically. For refreshers on how to report your time or take leave, go to http://ags.hawaii.gov/hip/for-employees/. Remember, if you have questions on the system, you can submit them to our Personnel Office through this LINK. In our last newsletter, I mentioned the federal COVID-19 relief package. Please excuse the error where $6.1 billion was given as the figure to the State. This was a typo (or maybe wishful thinking).

We are looking at $1.6 billion to the State and an additional $444 million to the counties. Our Airports Division will be using these Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) funds to provide continued support for the operational costs of reducing health hazards at our airports and will use additional CRRSA concessions grant funds to provide aid, such as economic relief from rent and minimum annual guarantees, to airport concessionaries and other service providers.

Looking back at recent world events, the situation with the Ever Given in the Suez Canal highlighted the importance of shipping in our economy. We all know that our commercial harbors are critical in making sure we have the daily goods we need to survive in our islands. This shows the importance of our Department to the State. As always, I am signing off with a thank you to all of you—regardless of what division you are in—for your continued dedication to the people of Hawai’i!

Administration Why Employees Should Take Training By: Darren Cantrill otherwise known about or sought out themselves.

Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities will feel more satisfaction towards their jobs. The

Henry Ford said it best “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave, is not training them, and having them stay.”

Lack of training leads to employees who feel unappreciated in their job and a list goes on and on… general sense that their job doesn’t matter.

DOT has primarily focused on Lunch and Learn sessions around the Microsoft suite of applicaWhat are the impacts if we don’t encourage tions. If you can pick up just one thing you didn’t training? know before the training that will help you with your job responsibilities, then it makes it worth 1.

Unhappy employees and high turnover your time to attend.

Low rates of production 3.

Harbors CDC Issues Next Phase of the Conditional Sail Order for Cruise Ship Operators

By: Derek Chow

On April 2, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued the next phase of technical guidance under the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) requiring cruise lines to establish agreements at ports where they intend to operate, implement routine testing of crew, and develop plans incorporating vaccination strategies to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of COVID-19 by crew and passengers.

As stated in the CDC’s April 2nd update, the Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) remains in effect.

More information on the framework and what the new phase provides in terms of guidance for port and health authorities and cruise ship operators is at https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/ cruise/covid19-cruiseships.html

“HDOT Harbors Division is supportive of coordination efforts needed prior to resumption of passenger operations in Hawai’i,” said Harbors Division Deputy Director Derek Chow. “Prior to resumption of any passenger operations, an operator must meet the requirements of the CDC, which includes agreements with port and local health authorities for each harbor of call. HDOT continues to engage with state, county, and tourism leaders on steps for mitigation of the risk of spread of COVID-19 and will provide notice prior to any cruise bookings in Hawai’i. We are also working on enhancements in our harbors facilities.”

Highways Governor Ige Issues Emergency Declaration Following Flooding, Landslides

By: Cindy McMillan & Shelly Kunishige

Governor David Ige issued an emergency declaration March 9th for the entire State of Hawai‘i in the wake of heavy rains that caused flooding and landslides.

The disaster emergency relief period, which continues through May 8, 2021, makes state funds immediately available to help affected communities.

• Evening access: 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Sundays and S observed State o Holidays H • 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. p

Residents from Hale‘iwa and Hau‘ula to Haʻikū and Hanalei are still recovering from the effects of the storms that pounded the islands last month. Governor David Ige, along with Highways Deputy Director Ed Sniffen, toured some of the hardest-hit areas to thank state and county emergency workers and community volunteers who have provided supplies and equipment to help their neighbors in need.

The Hawai’i Department of Transportation (HDOT) has since opened Kuhio Highway (Route 560) on the north shore of Kauai at mile marker 1 approaching Hanalei Bridge (“Hanalei Hill”) for scheduled public access as follows: Monday through Saturday • • •

Morning access: 5:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m.

Afternoon access: 1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day except Wednesdays Wednesday afternoon access: 12:45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

During access D hours the highway at Hanalei Hill will be open to single lane, alternating traffic for passenger cars and light trucks. These vehicles will be escorted through the work zone by a pilot vehicle.

A detour for heavy trucks (e.g., those with payloads exceeding ¾ ton such as Ford Super Duty F-350, Ram 3500, Chevrolet Silverado 3500, and GMC Sierra 3500 or larger) has been established via Ka Haku Road, Lei O Papa Road, and Hanalei Plantation Road. Due to concerns with loads on the highway below the landslide, Kuhio Highway between Hanalei Plantation Road and the Hanalei Bridge is restricted to 15 tons.

Since March 29th, the contractor has been on a 10-hour workday, six days a week.

The public access schedule will ensure safety, efficient single lane alternating movement through the area, and necessary construction hours for the emergency repairs and long term mitigations.

Updates and the public access schedule will be posted at https://hidot.hawaii.gov/2021-hanalei-hill-landslide/.

Taxes

•

This is the amount of taxes withheld from your current pay, including Federal, State, Social Security (OASDI) and Medicare taxes.

This amount is balanced each pay period by looking at your full calendar year income, which ensures that your W-2 is accurate for your end of year filing.

Tax Withholding Changes: If you are currently paid for more than one position, you may see a difference in your Federal and State tax withholdings as each check is calculated individually based on your W-4 withholding allowances.  This means that you may see a decrease in your overall taxes withheld each pay period.  You may update your withholdings to change what is withheld if needed, but it is not required.  This may result in less taxes being withheld throughout the year.
