                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR KAUAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The Kauai Community College's Performing Arts
 
 2 Center (PAC) became operational in October 1995 but has not been
 
 3 fully utilized due to a lack of staffing to safely and
 
 4 effectively operate the facility.  Kauai Community College has
 
 5 relied on volunteers and casual hires to operate the PAC during
 
 6 these performances.  However, this arrangement has presented
 
 7 problems for both the campus and community.  Neither volunteers
 
 8 nor casual hires are available on a regular basis.  Technical
 
 9 assistance is particularly difficult to obtain and the caliber of
 
10 this staff needs to be at a level so as to insure the safety of
 
11 the performers and patrons as well as the conservation of the
 
12 state's investment in facilities and equipment.
 
13      The purpose of this Act is to provide supervision,
 
14 coordination, and participation in the overall process of
 
15 technical production at the PAC as well as maintain the theater
 
16 equipment and manage technical operations by providing two full-
 
17 time positions.  This would allow the PAC to be professionally
 
18 manned on a regular basis allowing for expanded performance and
 
19 event scheduling.
