STAND. COM. REP. NO. 280

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1597

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1597 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE PUNA DISTRICT POLICE STATION IN KEAAU, HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation for the Puna District police station in Keaau, Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of the Mayor of the County of Hawaii and the County of Hawaii Police Department.

 

     Your Committee finds that the district of Puna is one of the fastest growing districts in the State.  The existing police station in Keaau, Hawaii cannot meet the needs of the growing community.  The intent of this measure is to appropriate funds for the planning, design, and construction of a new facility for the Puna District police.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1597 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 


Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Intergovernmental and Military Affairs,
