Your Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns, to which was referred H.B. No. 2394 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES WITHIN THE KALAELOA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to clarify the Hawaii Community Development Authority's (HCDA) role in the Kalaeloa Community Development District to:

(1) Receive, process, and investigate complaints including those related to property maintenance;

(2) Notify the complainant and landowner of HCDA's decision on whether or not HCDA shall research a complaint, and of intentions, if any, to investigate the complaint;

(3) Consult with the landowner or person affected on the best means to remedy a situation, before HCDA gives an opinion or recommendation that is critical of them;

(4) Publish HCDA's opinion and recommendations in response to complaints, including any response by the landowner;

(5) Notify the complainant of the action taken by HCDA and by the landowner to remedy the situation described in the complaint; and

(6) Compile a quarterly report discussing HCDA's activities as they relate to this role.

The Hawaii Community Development Authority submitted testimony in support of this measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2394 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns,
