Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.C.R. No. 11

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committees on Human Services and Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 11 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SALE OF THE LEASED FEE INTEREST IN 643 PAPAHEHI PLACE, HONOLULU, HAWAII,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to approve the sale of the leased fee interest in 643 Papahehi Place, Honolulu, Hawaii, pursuant to section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.  Your Committees received comments on this measure from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

     Your Committees find that the home on 643 Papahehi Place, Honolulu, Hawaii, was built in 1980 as part of the Kauhale Aupuni O Kuliouou affordable for-sale development, in which all lessees had the contractual right to purchase the leased fee interest in their homes.  The Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation has met all statutory prerequisites to request approval of the sale of this parcel.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 11 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs,
