STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1340

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.C.R. No. 134

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 134 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO REFURBISH THE PUULOA BEACH PARK PAVILION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the City and County of Honolulu to refurbish the Puuloa Beach Park pavilion as part of a larger plan to renovate and improve the entire Puuloa Beach Park complex.

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

Your Committee finds that Puuloa Beach Park at the end of Fort Weaver Road in Ewa Beach is a popular location for holding celebrations, conducting gatherings, and enjoying the outdoors. The condition of the pavilion and the surrounding park complex has deteriorated, leaving them in a dilapidated state. This measure urges the City and County of Honolulu to refurbish the Puuloa Beach Park pavilion to prevent it from falling into further disrepair and becomes a neighborhood blight instead of serving as a place for the community to come together and hold celebrations.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 134 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs,
