                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1074
                                        




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1074 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to terminate the Hamakua
Community Development District.

     Your Committee finds that the Department of Business,
Economic Development, and Tourism, the Hawaii Community
Development Authority, and the County of Hawaii Planning
Department have submitted testimony in favor of this bill at the
hearing conducted by the Water, Land, and Hawaiian Affairs
Committee.  Your Committee supports these agencies as they
coordinate their efforts with the Hilo-Hamakua Coordinating
Committee to implement an alternative approach to identifying
projects that would benefit the Hamakua area.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B.
No. 1074 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
