RESOLUTION

 

 

DESIGNATING THE PACIFIC AVIATION MUSEUM-PEARL HARBOR AT FORD ISLAND AS THE STATE MUSEUM OF AEROSPACE HISTORY.

 

 

     WHEREAS, aerospace history experts do not have sufficient opportunity to assist in aerospace preservation efforts, resulting in the loss of a valuable resource in Hawaii's cultural landscape; and

 

     WHEREAS, the State needs to develop a unified approach to working with the military to preserve aerospace history as required by the National Historic Preservation Act; and

 

     WHEREAS, no state agency is currently charged with the responsibility of preserving Hawaii's aerospace history; and

 

     WHEREAS, as a consequence, the experts at the Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor act as the State's aerospace history curators; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-fifth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2010, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor is designated as the state museum of aerospace history; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the aerospace historical experts at the Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor are designated as the curators of the State's historical aerospace artifacts; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, as the state museum of aerospace history, the Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor is requested to establish, as one of its missions, a service to help the State to maintain and preserve its valuable aerospace artifacts; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the State Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Land and Natural Resources is requested to include aerospace history as part the State's historic preservation efforts; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the aerospace historical experts at the Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor be empowered as aerospace historical consultants to state agencies; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Aviation Museum-Pearl Harbor.
