RE: S.B. No. 2869

S.D. 1

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Water, Land, and Agriculture and Economic Development, to which was referred S.B. No. 2869 entitled:

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

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to clarify the power of the Hawaii Community Development Authority to act as an ombudsman for issues of concern within the Kalaeloa community development district.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Hawaii Community Development Authority.

Your Committees find that there is a need to clarify the Hawaii Community Development Authority's power to:

(1) Receive and follow up complaints with appropriate landowners within Kalaeloa;

(2) Take a proactive role in investigating, researching, and monitoring problem areas; and

(3) Report to the landowners in the district regarding the nature and number of complaints and inquiries to ensure proper notification at the highest levels.

Your Committees believe that this measure will accomplish these needs.

Your Committees have amended this measure to make technical, nonsubstantive changes.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, and Agriculture and Economic Development that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2869, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2869, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, and Agriculture and Economic Development,
