                                 RE: S.C.R. No. 14
                                     S.D. 1



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
S.C.R. No. 14, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THAT PU'U O KAPOLEI BE
     PLACED ON THE STATE AND NATIONAL HISTORIC REGISTERS,"

begs leave to report as follows:


     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the
Department of Land and Natural Resources to place Pu'u Kapolei in
the Hawaii and National Registers of Historic Places.

     The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR)
testified in support of the concurrent resolution.

     Your Committee finds that Pu'u o Kapolei/Battery Barrett is
a significant historic property for multiple reasons.  The site
is a City and County property which is protected under Section
6E-8, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS).  The placement of the site
in the registers would not give it more protection, but would
give it formal recognition of its status as a historic property.
DLNR is willing to assist any initiative from the community to
prepare the nomination form and coordinate having the nomination
submitted to the Hawaii Historic Places Review Board for due
consideration.

     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 S.C.R. No.
14, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

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