Establishes a process for neighborhood boards to recommend capital improvement projects and operating budget priorities to county mayors and councils.

This bill creates a formal process for neighborhood boards in Hawaii to recommend capital improvement projects and operating budget priorities to county mayors and councils. Neighborhood boards must follow a uniform process to solicit suggestions from residents, which are then compiled into a package of recommendations submitted to the county mayor. The mayor must respond to each recommendation, explaining how it will be included in the budget or why it will not be included. The county council must consider these responses when reviewing and approving the mayor's budget.
