Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2942, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ALOHA TOWER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to increase economic efficiency through government reorganization by:

 

(1)  Establishing the Aloha Tower Development Task Force (Task Force) within the Department of Transportation (DOT) to determine the feasibility and economic impact of dissolving the Aloha Tower Development Corporation (ATDC) and transferring its responsibilities to DOT and the Hawaii Community Development Authority;

 

(2)  Requiring the Task Force to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the Legislature prior to the convening of the 2012 legislative session;

 

(3)  Providing that if the Task Force recommends the dissolution of ATDC, the dissolution will not occur until July 1, 2013; and

 

(4)  Appropriating $1,875,479 from the Harbor Special Fund for consultant services to implement the commercial harbors modernization plan.

 

     ATDC supported this bill.  DOT and the Hawaii Harbors Users Group provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

(1)  Replacing the appropriation with an unspecified amount;

 

(2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and

 

(3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2942, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2942, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
