                                 RE: H.C.R. No. 55
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
H.C.R. No. 55 entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAII COMMUNITY
     DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE A STATUS REPORT ON THE
     RELOCATION OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU'S BASEYARD
     FACILITIES FROM THE KAKAAKO MAKAI AREA,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to request that the Hawaii
Community Development Authority (HCDA) provide status report on
the relocation of the City and County of Honolulu's baseyard
facilities from the Kakaako makai area to allow for the
redevelopment of a vital waterfront area for the use of Hawaii's
residents.

     The HCDA testified in support of this resolution.

     Your Committee finds that HCDA is willing to provide update
upon request from the Legislature.  The relocation of the City
and County of Honolulu's baseyards from Kakaako Makai is a high
priority of HCDA, who will continue to aggressively pursue the
completion of the relocation plan.

     Your Committee further finds that although the City has
vacated two baseyard sites since October 1997, the City intends
to complete the relocation tentatively by August 2001.


 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1208-00

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

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



                                   ______________________________
