                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 12
                                        




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.C.R. No. 12 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ADOPTING KEY COMMUNITY
     OUTCOMES OF WELL-BEING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
     HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this Concurrent Resolution is to endorse as
state policy, certain key community outcomes to implement an
outcomes-oriented approach to intergovernmental service delivery.

     Specifically, this Concurrent Resolution endorses the
following as key outcomes:

     (1)  A safe, nurturing social environment;

     (2)  A healthy, natural environment;

     (3)  A thriving, diverse, sustainable economy;

     (4)  Educated people; and

     (5)  Civic vitality.

     This Concurrent Resolution further encourages public and
private agencies committed to improving the well-being of

 
a                                                           SCR12

Hawaii's peoples to utilize these outcomes as a basis for policy
and program development, planning, and for budgeting.

     Your Committee finds that the Legislature recognized the
importance of measuring progress towards shared outcomes through
the establishment of the Hawaii Performance Partnerships Board by
Act 160, Session Laws of Hawaii 1999, and the adoption of House
Concurrent Resolution No. 38 in 1998.  A memorandum of agreement
has been executed between the federal, state, county, community,
and business sectors to encourage and facilitate cooperation to
redesign and test an outcomes-oriented approach to
intergovernmental service delivery.

     Your Committee finds that the acceptance of a common set of
desired outcomes, compatible with statutory mandates, will enable
state, county, and community agencies to focus on achieving
positive results that exemplify Hawaii's uniqueness.

     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 12,
and recommends its adoption.

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



                                 ________________________________
