     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $           or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2008-2009 as a grant-in-aid to the city and county of Honolulu for expenditures for the design and construction of a sidewalk on the north side of Waipahu Street from Waipahu Depot Road to Awamoi Street and from Amokii Street to Waikele Road.

     SECTION 3.  The sum appropriated shall be expended by the city and county of Honolulu for the purposes of this Act.
