RE:   H.C.R. No. 112

 

 

 

 

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.C.R. No. 112 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE COUNTY OF HAWAII TO PREPARE A COORDINATED, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF THE LESSEES FACING EVICTION UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE LEASES AT THE KANOELEHUA INDUSTRIAL PARK,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the County of Hawaii to prepare a coordinated, comprehensive plan to address the needs and concerns of the lessees facing eviction, upon the expiration of their leases at the Kanoelehua Industrial Park in Hilo.

 

     The Hilo Fish Company, Inc., supported this concurrent resolution. The Department of Land and Natural Resources provided comments.

 

     Your Committee finds that while most of the affected leases are not scheduled to expire until 2016, many of the businesses must start planning now to ensure a seamless transition in the future.

 


     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 112 and recommends its adoption.

 

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