STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1229

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.R. No. 24

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Technology and the Arts, to which was referred S.R. No. 24 entitled:

"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO RENAME A PORTION OF CORAL STREET TO "LEX BRODIE STREET","

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Council of the City and County of Honolulu to rename a portion of Coral Street to "Lex Brodie Street" in order to recognize a great Hawaii kama‘aina, Lex Brodie.

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.

     Your Committees find that Lex Brodie was a revered kama‘aina businessman whose years of rendering and overseeing high quality automotive services, along with his eleven years of service on the Board of Education, made him a symbol of trust among Hawaii residents.  Your Committees further find that as the manager of the Dole Pineapple Company in the late 1950s, Mr. Brodie's stand on principle won him the respect and support of his workers.  This measure recognizes Lex Brodie, who passed away on January 11, 2013, and his respected service to our community.

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Technology and the Arts that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 24, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 24, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Technology and the Arts,
