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. 1661, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII,"

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 require the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) to complete construction of the Villages of Kapolei within five years and collaborate with the Department of Transportation or the City and County of Honolulu to implement traffic study recommendations.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure to:

(1) Require HCDCH to complete construction of the Villages of Kapolei by June 30, 2011;

(2) Authorize, rather than require HCDCH to collaborate and coordinate with the State or City and County to implement traffic study recommendations;

(3) Include as one of the traffic study recommendations, the construction of traffic improvements at certain specified major intersections, including but not limited to the construction of traffic signals and crosswalks at the intersections of Kapolei Parkway and Kama'aha Avenue fronting Kapolei Middle School, and Kapolei Parkway and Malu Ohai Street fronting Kapolei High School;

(4) Appropriate $900,000 from the Dwelling Unit Revolving Fund to be expended by HCDCH to construct the traffic improvements at the aforementioned intersections; and

(5) Take effect on July 1, 2003.

Your Committee on Conference also made technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, 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. 1661, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1661, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
