TWENTY-FIFTH LEGISLATURE, 2009

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT


 

 

relating to hawaii community development authority.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that there are five voting members on the Hawaii community development authority that are appointed to represent the Kalaeloa community development district.  Two of the five members are the chairperson of the Hawaiian homes commission and the director of the city and county of Honolulu department of planning and permitting.

     The legislature further finds that taking into account the other heavy responsibilities that their positions may require of them, in many instances, these officials find it difficult to attend Hawaii community development authority meetings; however, section 206E-191(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, does not permit them to appoint a designated representative.  As a result, at times, a quorum is difficult to achieve, thereby delaying important discussions and decisions.

     The purpose of this Act is to amend section 206E-191(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, to allow the chairperson of the Hawaiian homes commission and the director of the city and county of Honolulu department of planning and permitting or their respective designated representatives to serve as ex officio, voting members of the Hawaii community development authority.

     SECTION 2.  Section 206E-191, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:

     "(c)  Five additional voting members [shall], except as otherwise provided in this subsection, shall be appointed to the authority by the governor to represent the Kalaeloa community development district.  These members shall be considered in determining quorum and majority only on issues relating to the Kalaeloa community development district, and may vote only on issues relating to the Kalaeloa community development district.  These members shall consist of:

     (1)  The chairperson of the Hawaiian homes commission[;] or the chairperson's designated representative who shall serve as an ex officio, voting member;

     (2)  The director of the city and county of Honolulu department of planning and permitting[;] or the director's designated representative who shall serve as an ex officio, voting member;

     (3)  Two members representing the surrounding community for a term pursuant to section 26-34, one of [which] whom shall be selected by the mayor of the city and county of Honolulu; and

     (4)  One member who is a Hawaiian cultural specialist."

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect upon approval.
