RE: S.C.R. No. 63
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 Science, Arts, and Technology and Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 63 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO EXPAND THE HAWAII CAPITAL SPECIAL DISTRICT TO ENCOURAGE THE MAXIMUM INVOLVEMENT AND SUPPORT OF ALL ORGANIZATIONS, PRIVATE AND PUBLIC, IN A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS WITH THE STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND ARTS TO PLAN FOR, SUSTAIN, AND PROMOTE CULTURE AND THE ARTS IN HAWAII,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the City and County of Honolulu to expand the Hawaii Capital Special District and to encourage the involvement and support of private organizations and public agencies in promoting arts and culture in Hawaii.
Testimony in support of the measure was received from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism. Offering comments on the measure was the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts; the Hawaii Community Development Authority; the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Planning and Permitting; and one individual.
Your Committees find that this measure recognizes the unique cultural, historic, artistic, architectural, and civic landmarks located within the geographic area bounded by Kalihi and Piikoi Streets, Beretania Street, and the Pacific Ocean. To preserve and protect these treasured landmarks, it is necessary to increase awareness among private organizations, government agencies, and community members living in this area regarding the need to manage, preserve, protect, and enhance these assets. Designating this geographic area the Hawaii Capital Cultural District would accomplish those aims.
Your Committees have amended this measure by:
(1) Amending the title of the Concurrent Resolution to read: "Designating the Hawaii Capital Cultural District and encouraging the maximum involvement and support of all organizations, private and public, in a collaborative process with the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to plan for, sustain, and promote culture and the arts in Hawaii;"
(2) Deleting the request to the City and County of Honolulu to expand the Hawaii Capital Special District;
(3) Removing the geographic description of the Hawaii Capital Special District; and
(4) Designating the geographic area bounded by Kalihi and Piikoi Streets, Beretania Street, and the Pacific Ocean as the Hawaii Capital Cultural District.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Science, Arts, and Technology and Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations 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.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Science, Arts, and Technology and Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
