A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
PART I
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 part 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."
PART II
SECTION 3. Section 206E-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§206E-4 Powers; generally. Except as otherwise limited by this chapter, the authority may:
(1) Sue and be sued;

(B) Within areas immediately

The development of substitute reserved housing shall be undertaken only in accordance with a request for those substitute reserved housing units submitted by the department of Hawaiian home lands or the Hawaiian homestead community associations. All other reserved housing units shall be constructed within the community development district where the proposed development project is located.
The Hawaii community development authority [shall]
may adopt rules relating to the [approval] development of substitute
