Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
H.C.R. No. 148 entitled:

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO
     APPOINT A CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMISSION TO REVIEW THE
     STATE'S ALA WAI GOLF COURSE REVITALIZATION PLAN,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to request the Governor to
appoint residents, elected officials, business persons, and
representatives of the community and neighborhood boards from the
affected areas to a citizens' advisory commission to review the
State's Ala Wai Golf Course revitalization plan.

     The Office of Planning of the Department of Business,
Economic Development and Tourism, Na Leo Pohai and the chair of
the Neighborhood Board for Diamond Head/Kapahulu/St. Louis
Heights provided testimony in support of the resolution.

     Your Committee finds that the interests of the community
will be considered and better expressed through an appointed
citizens' advisory commission prior to the implementation of the
Governor's revitalization plan.  The commission will ensure that
there is sufficient public input and submit preliminary findings
and recommendations to the Governor.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report,
your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No.
