The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to improve state boating facilities without relying on state resources by requesting the Board of Land and Natural Resources to:
(1) Meet with all stakeholders and registered users of Keehi Lagoon, including the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and canoe-paddling clubs, to review and update the Keehi Lagoon Recreation Plan, and in particular, to discuss the feasibility and means by which unutilized and underutilized areas of Keehi Lagoon may be used productively; and
(2) Explore the leasing of unutilized fast and submerged lands for private development of boating and ocean recreational facilities.
The Hawaii Boaters Political Action Association and two concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution. The Department of Land and Natural Resources and Hawaii Government Employees Association supported the intent of this measure.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Hawaiian Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 130 and recommend its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Hawaiian Affairs,
