                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2112
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 2112, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE WAIANAE COAST COMMUNITY
     BENCHMARKING PILOT PROJECT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to extend the Waianae coast
community benchmarking pilot project until June 30, 2003.

     In addition, this bill appropriates funds to support the
work of the Waianae coast community benchmarking pilot project.
More specifically, this bill appropriates funds for the various
subprojects of the Waianae coast community benchmarking pilot
project, and for the Hawaii Community Services Council to provide
technical support to the pilot project.

     Although the Waianae coast community benchmarking pilot
project was established by the Legislature, your Committee finds
that the pilot project has been financially supported by
donations from private organizations.  Your Committee also finds
that time and money are running out for the work of the pilot
project, which is not yet finished.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your

 
a                                                     SB2112 SD1

Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
2112, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,



                                 ________________________________
