RE: H.C.R. No. 316
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Higher Education, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 316 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FEE SIMPLE SALE OF NON-CEDED LANDS HELD BY THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN KAPOLEI, HAWAII,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to approve the fee simple sale of state land pursuant to Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009 (Act 176). Specifically, the University of Hawaii (UH) seeks to sell non-ceded lands in Kapolei donated to UH by the Campbell Estate to build the UH-West Oahu campus to meet the condition running with the land that construction of the campus commence by December 31, 2011.
UH-West Oahu testified in support of this concurrent resolution. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs provided comments.
The private, non-ceded lands were donated on the specific conditions that a campus would be built that accommodates at least 2,750 students and that construction would begin by December 31, 2011, otherwise the lands would revert to the Campbell Estate. Your Committee finds that the sale of the subject land would raise the funds necessary to finance the construction of this campus.
Your Committees find that the land was derived from Campbell Estate lands, and is konohiki land, which by definition is not ceded land. To be sure, a title search has been conducted on the subject land, which has revealed that the subject land is not ceded land.
Your Committees further find that an appraisal is currently being conducted as to the subject land. However, as the subject land is currently in negotiations for the sale, the State is prohibited from disclosing the information until that process is completed. Therefore, the intent of your Committees is to have the appraisal information required under Act 176 inserted into this concurrent resolution at the appropriate time, once it becomes available.
Your Committees have amended this concurrent resolution by:
(1) Inserting the Tax Map Key No. information of the subject land sought to be sold, to comply with the provisions of Act 176; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Higher Education that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 316, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 316, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Higher Education,
