Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land, Energy and Environment, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 4 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF

EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF SUBMERGED LANDS AT LAHAINA,

MAUI, HAWAII, FOR CONCRETE PIER AND DECK PURPOSES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure as received is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to sell an easement covering a portion of submerged lands at Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii, for concrete pier and deck purposes.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Department of Land and Natural Resources. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and one individual submitted testimony in opposition.

Your Committee finds that this disposition will complete the required procedures for a lease of submerged lands. Your Committee has concerns regarding the use of the word "sale", and has amended the title and the body of this Concurrent Resolution to change "sale" to "issuance" and "sell" to "issue".

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Energy and Environment that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 4, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1.
