STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1335-06

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: H.C.R. No. 105

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 105 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE HAWAII HEALTH SYSTEMS CORPORATION TO ENTER INTO A LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR A PARKING STRUCTURE FOR MAUI MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER IN WAILUKU, MAUI TO BE FUNDED BY THE ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the facilitation of necessary parking arrangements for Maui Memorial Medical Center. This addition would complement the planned growth and expansion of the medical center and provide adequate parking to meet the increased demand.

The Maui Memorial Medical Center supported this concurrent resolution.

Your Committee finds that healthcare must be easily accessible to all, and a problem such as the unavailability of adequate parking creates difficulties for those who are sick and disabled. Therefore, this issue must be addressed properly and expediently.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 105 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
