                                 RE: H.B. No. 1016
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
H.B. No. 1016 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE REDEVELOPMENT OF BARBERS
     POINT NAVAL AIR STATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Barbers Point
Naval Air Station Redevelopment Commission to provide utility
services for property conveyed by the Navy to federal, state, and
county agencies under base realignment and closure, to recoup the
costs of these services from the end users, and allow the
Commission to establish advisory committees.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this bill
from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and
Tourism Office of Planning, and the Department of Hawaiian Home
Lands.  

     Your Committee finds that the imminent turnover of the
Barbers Point Naval Air Station from the federal government
requires that the BPNAS Redevelopment Commission be fully
prepared to handle the transition to civilian use with a minimum
of delay.  

     Your Committee revised the bill by:  

     1.   Providing for the appointment of the county director of
          parks and recreation and three additional county
          department directors designated by the mayor to the
          commission; and

     2.   Making technical, non-substantive changes for the
          purposes of style and clarity.  

 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 409
                                 Page 2

 
     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report,
your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
No. 1016, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second
Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1016, H.D. 1, and
be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Water and Land
                                   Use,



                                   ______________________________
                                   Romy M. Cachola, Chair
