     HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS TO WORK WITH AREA RESIDENTS TO DEVELOP
     USE OPTIONS FOR THE STADIUM BOWL-O-DROME PROPERTY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to request that the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands consider the views of
McCully/Moiliili area residents concerning future development of
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands property where the Stadium
Bowl-O-Drome operated until its closure on December 31, 1999.

     Testimony in support of this resolution was provided by the
Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce and concerned individuals.
Testimony in opposition to this resolution was provided by the
State Council of Hawaiian Homestead Associations and a concerned
individual.  The Department of Hawaiian Homelands and a concerned
individual commented on this resolution.

     Your Committee finds it beneficial to foster community
harmony by encouraging residents to express their hopes
concerning development expected to take place in their
neighborhood.  At the same time, your Committee acknowledges that
the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is under a strict fiduciary
duty to manage the site for the benefit of its beneficiaries.

     Your Committee has amended this resolution by deleting (1)
the list of community concerns articulated to date, and (2) the
requirement that the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands report its
findings and recommendations to the Legislature. 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose
of H.C.R. No. 149, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption
in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 149, H.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Judiciary &
                                   Hawaiian Affairs,
