STAND. COM. REP. 1297

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: H.C.R. No. 186

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 186 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEODORA MALLICK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PAHOA SCHOOL GYMNASIUM,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request that the Department of Education enter into an agreement with Theodora Mallick for the construction of the Pahoa School Gymnasium.

Your Committee received testimony is support of this measure from the Department of Education, highlighting some of their concerns.

Your Committee finds that a gymnasium would benefit the Pahoa High and Intermediate school students. In the past, there have been amenable situations where private landowners have entered into agreements to construct buildings that would later be owned by the State.

Your Committee has made the following amendments to this measure suggested by the Department of Education to clarify certain points:

(1) Specify that the budget request of $4,500,000 is to cover not only the cost of the gym but also the cost of the land that the gym would be located on; and

(2) Make clear that the resolution be contingent upon the appropriation of $4,500,000 to the DOE's 2003-2005 budget for the purposes of buying the gym and the property that it should stand on.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 186, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 186, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
