STAND. COM. REP. NO.1526

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2001

RE: S.C.R. No. 61

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 61 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A STUDY RELATING TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE AHUPUA`A `O KAHANA,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Legislative Reference Bureau to conduct a study relating to the management of the Ahupua`a `O Kahana.

The Ahupua`a `O Kahana is the only publicly-owned ahupua`a on Oahu and is designated as a Hawaiian Cultural Living Park which includes traditional irrigation systems, taro patches, and fishponds. Your Committee finds that this concurrent resolution should enhance the coordination efforts to help preserve this important ahupua`a.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources and two individuals testified in support of this measure.

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 S.C.R. No. 61 and recommends its adoption.

 

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

____________________________
