STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3725

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 105

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

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 measure is to urge the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation to enter into a lease/purchase agreement for a parking structure for Maui Memorial Medical Center in to be funded by the issuance of certificates of participation.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Maui Memorial Medical Center.

Your Committee finds that Maui Memorial Medical Center is need of additional parking and will have a greater need after the 75,000 square foot medical center expansion is completed. Financing this parking structure with certificates of participation will require the State of Hawaii and the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation to enter into a long-term lease agreement.

Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and replacing it with the contents of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 188, which urges the State to join with the Corporation to enter into the lease/purchase agreement.

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, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 105, S.D. 1.

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