Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Economic Development and Tourism, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 63 entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request a study on renovation and reconstruction options for Aloha Stadium.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) and Aloha Stadium.

Aloha Stadium, constructed around 1974, is at the crossroads of its life. With huge maintenance costs looming ahead and the tight fiscal times, the question now becomes what alternatives may exist for the use of Aloha Stadium. The issue is particularly apropos in view of recent reports of the possibility of building a new stadium.

Your Committees have amended this measure on the recommendation of DAGS and the Aloha Stadium by adding to the title and body of the measure, a request for the formulation of a master plan.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Economic Development and Tourism that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 63, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 63, S.D. 1.
