Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 680, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO KAKAAKO,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this bill is to strengthen the future of the Kakaako Makai area of Honolulu by, among other things:

     (1)  Establishing the Kakaako Makai Community Development Subdistrict;

     (2)  Amending the membership of the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) to include the Director of the Department of Planning and Permitting of the City and County of Honolulu; and

     (3)  Allowing for a broader range of public input into the future of Kakaako Makai by repealing the requirement that the HCDA consider recommendations by the Kakaako Makai Community Planning Advisory Council (CPAC).

     After careful consideration, your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by retaining only the provisions that repeal the requirement that HCDA consider recommendations by the CPAC.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 680, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 680, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
