begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to encourage the Department of Education to consider using a design-build process for the construction of physical education and athletic facilities at the site of the former Kapiolani Community College for use by McKinley High School, and to report back to the Legislature.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from McKinley High School and the Athletic Directors and Coaches Association of Hawaii. Comments in support of the intent of this measure were received from the Department of Education Honolulu District Complex Area Superintendents.

Your Committee finds that the Department of Education report should include a way to look into contributions from developers, particularly in the Kaka'ako area, to add to the local resources available for educational and recreational facilities.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R.
