Mayor Mufi Hannemann is expected to lay out his vision for Honolulu over the next year in a major speech today, including his plan for tax relief and for dealing with solid waste in an island community.

Hannemann's State of the City address is scheduled to include discussion of the future of the island's only municipal landfill and an update on efforts to upgrade roads and sewers.

Administration officials said the mayor will propose a no-frills budget that concentrates on core city services such as public health and safety, road maintenance and repair, and upgrading of the sewer system.

Hannemann is expected to review his accomplishments during his first year in office and discuss the challenges the city faces in the coming years.

Hannemann spokesman Bill Brennan said the speech will emphasize the public-private partnerships the mayor was able to forge during 2005, including a pending legal agreement on the preservation of Waimea Valley.

And Hannemann plans to give an update on his "war on potholes."

He is expected to emphasize the administration's cost-cutting initiatives and reiterate his support for both immediate and long-term tax relief, and the need for the city to increase the savings in its "rainy day" reserve fund.

In the wake of continued community controversy over the Waimanalo Gulch landfill on the Wai'anae Coast, Hannemann will talk about his trash disposal solutions and offer Leeward residents a package of community benefits.

He also will talk about his goal to bolster the city's emergency preparedness efforts, and the return of the professional Hawaii Winter Baseball League.
