H.D. 2
S.D. 2
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1020, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ALOHA TOWER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to:
(1) Revise the boundaries of the Aloha Tower complex;
(2) Reduce the number of members of the Board of Directors of the Aloha Tower Development Corporation from seven to three;
(3) Place the Aloha Tower Development Corporation under the Department of Transportation for administrative purposes; and
(4) Repeal the Harbors Modernization Group.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from Richard C. Lim, Director, Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism; and Anthony J. H. Ching, Executive Director, Hawaii Community Development Authority.
Your Committee finds that it is imperative that the Aloha Tower Development Corporation be maintained in order to provide stability for the prospective purchase of the Aloha Tower Marketplace and ensure that harbor improvement projects are executed in an expeditious manner.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purpose of consistency and style.
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 H.B. No. 1020, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1020, H.D. 2, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
