RE:   H.B. No. 3345

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 3345 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BOATING FACILITIES AT KEEHI LAGOON,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for the improvement of state lands at Keehi Lagoon to accommodate the relocation of boat repair facilities from its current location at Kewalo Basin.

 

     The Ocean Tourism Coalition, Honolulu Marine, LLC, and several concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources provided comments.

 

     Your Committee finds that the funds appropriated in this bill will be used to improve state lands, and the tenant boat repair facility is expected to finance any improvements required to use the lot as a boat repair facility.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3345 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs,
