Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 1591

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations and Water, Land, and Agriculture, to which was referred S.B. No. 1591 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE KALAELOA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to provide operational and capital improvement funding to facilitate the redevelopment of the Kalaeloa Community Development District.

The Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) and Department of Hawaiian Home Lands testified in support of the measure.

Pursuant to Act 184, Session Laws of Hawaii 2002, the HCDA is responsible for the redevelopment of the former Barbers Point Naval Air Station now known as the Kalaeloa Community Development District. This measure appropriates general funds for staffing and related expenses of the Authority, and authorizes the issuance of $7 million in general obligation bonds to finance the planning, design, and construction of improvements in the development district. Additionally, this measure prohibits state and county agencies and private entities that owe lease rents or other monetary obligations to the HCDA from using Kalaeloa lands or facilities until their obligations are satisfied.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations and Water, Land, and Agriculture that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1591 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations and Water, Land, and Agriculture,
