STAND. COM. REP. NO.152

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: S.B. No. 1066

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture, to which was referred S.B. No. 1066 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR PUEA CEMETERY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the maintenance and upkeep of Puea Cemetery in Kapalama, Oahu.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Oahu Island Burial Council.

Your Committee finds that Puea Cemetery is a historical cemetery with persons representing a diversity of ethnic origins buried there. The main improvement needed is a chain link fence to surround the cemetery with one or two entry points to control access, pets, loitering, trash, and other damage to marked and unmarked graves.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1066 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture,
