STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1803
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.C.R. No. 147
S.D. 2
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2007
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 147, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY TO REPORT ON PROJECT SPENDING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to report on its project spending.
Your Committee received comments on the measure from the Hawaii Public Housing Authority.
Your Committee finds that the Hawaii Public Housing Authority is responsible for the management of federal and state funds for public housing programs and services.
Your Committee also finds that, because of the recent establishment of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority and the various sources of funds under its control, a report to the Legislature on the Authority's project spending is justified and appropriate to ensure proper and effective use and management of such funds.
Your Committee further finds that, although the Concurrent Resolution has evolved from a financial audit to a report by the Authority to the Legislature, it is intended that the scope of the report should remain broad and comprehensive and include project spending for all projects developed by the Authority, including new and renovation or modernization projects, as well as the new forty-eight unit project at Lanakila Homes in Hilo.
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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 147, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 147, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
