                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1354 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL
     OBLIGATION BONDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR THE
     COUNTY OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of
general obligation bonds for capital improvement projects for the
county of Hawaii.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
mayor of the county of Hawaii.

     Your Committee finds that the capital improvement projects
contained in this measure will improve the health and safety of
the residents of the county of Hawaii.  Several of the projects
are tied to State programs and facilities such as those for the
Department of Education.  In addition, this measure includes
department of water supply projects for the county of Hawaii
which are aimed at developing domestic water sources and systems
for the growing population.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting all
specified dollar amounts and defers this determination to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
