Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1884 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC HOUSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure, as received by your Committee, is to authorize the Hawaii Public Housing Authority Board of Directors to determine the salary of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority executive director, with the following considerations:  compensation provided to public housing authority executive directors with comparable duties and responsibilities, comparable state and local officials, and comparable private sector executives.

 

     The Hawaii Public Housing Authority testified in support of this measure.  The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development commented on this measure.

 

     Upon consideration, your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and replacing it with the requirement that the Hawaii Public Housing Authority shall:

 

(1)  Conduct a study on the wages and compensation of other public housing authorities in the United States that are comparable in size to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority and comparable in their scope of duties and responsibilities to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority executive director; and

 

(2) Submit a report to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development on the wages and compensation of each of the five highest paid public housing authority executive directors of other comparable states or jurisdictions.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1884, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1884, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Labor & Public Employment.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
