STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2771
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 3110
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3110 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PARK ACQUISITIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation for the purchase of Waiehu Beach Park on Maui.
Presently, Waiehu Beach Park is privately owned by Wailuku Agribusiness but has been used for decades by the beach-going public. Wailuku Agribusiness has offered to sell Waiehu Beach Park to the County of Maui for $750,000; however, the county has declined its offer. This appropriation to the Department of Land and Natural Resources will ensure the public's continued use of Waiehu Beach Park.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying that once Waiehu Beach Park is purchased, it shall only be used for beach park purposes;
(2) Leaving the amount appropriated unspecified to facilitate further discussion on this matter; and
(3) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for consistency and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3110, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3110, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
