A BILL FOR AN ACT
MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Kailua beach is that part of the east shoreline of the island of Oahu between Kawainui canal to the north and Alala point to the south, in the Koolaupoko district. Kailua beach is subject to erosion related to sand deficiencies at Kailua beach park, as well as future impacts related to sea-level rise. Specifically, the southern end of Kailua beach is subject to long-term erosion, which is migrating northward with time.
Currently the University of Hawaii sea grant college program and the department of land and natural resources are conducting a Kailua beach and dune management plan. This plan attempts to address beach management issues in Kailua related to coastal erosion, sea level rise, and land use development along the shoreline in Kailua. The goal of the plan is to define new and better management strategies for Kailua and to serve as a template for place-based management on other Hawaii beaches.
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $100,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2009-2010 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2010-2011 for the University of Hawaii sea grant college program to augment the existing Kailua beach and dune management plan; provided that the sea grant college program shall consult with federal, state, and county agencies as necessary.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii sea grant college program for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. The University of Hawaii sea grant college program shall submit an interim progress report for the Kailua beach and dune management plan to the legislature, the governor, and the mayor of the city and county of Honolulu not later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2010. The progress report shall include but not be limited to a discussion of findings to date and potential short-term measures that may be adopted in order to reduce and mitigate beach erosion at Kailua beach.
SECTION 4. The University of Hawaii sea grant college program shall submit a final report, including recommendations and any necessary proposed legislation, to the legislature, the governor, and the mayor of the city and county of Honolulu not later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2011. The report shall include but not be limited to a discussion of short-term and long-term measures that may be adopted in order to manage coastal erosion, sea level rise, and land use development along the shoreline of Kailua.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2009.
