Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 197 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A PARK AT KEHENA BEACH, HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to:

(1) Assess the feasibility of developing a park at Kehena Beach in the Puna district of the County of Hawaii;

(2) Study the plans, designs, maintenance, costs, and other issues associated with such a development; and

(3) Hold community meetings to solicit and receive input regarding the community's concerns or improvement preferences relating to the development of this park.

A concerned individual submitted testimony in support of this measure. DLNR opposed this measure.

 

Your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:

(1) Specifying that DLNR is requested to work with the community in the assessment of the feasibility of developing the park;

(2) Deleting language requesting DLNR to address specific issues in its study;

(3) Amending its title to read "REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A PARK AT KEHENA BEACH, HAWAII"; and

(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 197, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 197, H.D. 1.

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