RE: S.R. No. 53

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.R. No. 53, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII SYSTEM'S VICE PRESIDENT FOR BUDGET AND FINANCE TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO REDEVELOP THE LOWER CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA THROUGH A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the Vice President for Budget and Finance of the University of Hawaii System to develop a plan for the redevelopment of the University of Hawaii at Manoa lower campus through a public private partnership.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawaii.

Your Committee received written comments on this measure from the University of Hawaii System.

Your Committee finds that public private partnerships to redevelop the lower campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa could help generate revenue for the school and revitalize the area with minimal capital investment by the State.

Your Committee has amended this measure by specifying that the findings and recommendations of the Vice President for Budget and Finance of the University of Hawaii System address options for public private partnership pilot projects.

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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 53, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 53, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
