STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1546

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.R. No. 157

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Agriculture and Environment, to which was referred S.R. No. 157 entitled:

"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE AND CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THE SECTION OF NORTH ROAD BETWEEN HANAKAHI STREET AND IROQUOIS ROAD,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to request that the State and City and County of Honolulu clean and maintain the section of North Road between Hanakahi Street and Iroquois Road in Ewa Beach, Oahu.

Your Committee did not receive any testimony on this measure.

Your Committee finds that North Road is one of the primary thoroughfares in Ewa Beach and is used daily by many of the residents of Ewa Beach. Your Committee further finds that North Road has been burdened by years of illegal dumping activities and a lack of regular maintenance and repairs, especially in the section of North Road between Hanakahi Street and Iroquois Road. This measure therefore prompts the State and City and County of Honolulu to clean and maintain this section of road in order to avoid further environmental and health risks and damage.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Agriculture and Environment that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 157 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Agriculture and Environment,
