Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 105, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO KIKALA-KEOKEA,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to provide funds for the development of infrastructure, including water infrastructure, at Kikala-Keokea on the island of Hawaii.
Specifically, the measure:
(1) Statutorily establishes an Infrastructure Development Fund for the development of infrastructure at Kikala-Keokea;
(2) Statutorily establishes the Kikala-Keokea Housing Revolving Fund to provide low interest loans for home construction for Kikala-Keokea leaseholders who have been denied loans;
(3) Transfers unexpended or unencumbered funds remaining in the Infrastructure Development Fund on June 30, 2003, to the Kikala-Keokea Housing Revolving Fund; provided that funding commitments to complete the design and construction of infrastructure improvements must first be executed; and
(4) Appropriates $1,750,000 from the Infrastructure Development Fund for infrastructure development at the Kikala-Keokea subdivision, to be matched by OHA.
Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has amended the measure by:
(1) Delaying the lapsing of funds contained in the Infrastructure Development Fund to the Kikala-Keokea Housing Revolving Fund for one year so that more time will be available to complete infrastructure installation;
(2) Limiting OHA's financial participation to only providing matching funds for infrastructural development up to a maximum of $1.35 million;
(3) Providing that all unexpended and unencumbered moneys remaining in the Infrastructure Development Fund that were deposited by OHA are to be refunded to OHA upon the completion of the Infrastructure Development Fund's intended purpose;
(4) Changing the effective date from July 1, 2001, to June 29, 2001; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 105, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 105, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
