RE: S.C.R. No. 19

S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs and Water and Land, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 19 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM AND THE DIVISION OF BOATING AND OCEAN RECREATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES COLLABORATE TO ESTABLISH A RECREATIONAL AREA IN THE EAST LOCH OF PEARL HARBOR,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to request that the joint base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation of the Department of Land and Natural Resources collaborate to establish a recreational area in the east loch of Pearl Harbor.

Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from one member of the Pearl City Neighborhood Board and one individual. Your Committees received comments on this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Your Committees find that Pearl Harbor's east loch is a major visual feature and potential recreational asset for the Aiea-Pearl City region. Your Committees believe that having a recreational area at Pearl Harbor's east loch for the public to enjoy boating and other watercraft activities will benefit the well-being of Hawaii residents. This measure will support the Aiea-Pearl City region and the general public by requesting that the joint base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation of the Department of Land and Natural Resources collaborate to establish a recreational area in the east loch of Pearl Harbor.

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 Water and Land that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 19, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 19, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs and Water and Land,
