STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2609

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2990

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2990, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ALOHA STADIUM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the Department of Accounting and General Services to hire an independent third party to develop a long-range plan for Aloha Stadium, including a feasibility study to determine the cost benefits of placing Aloha Stadium under the jurisdiction of the University of Hawaii rather than the Department of Accounting and General Services.

 

     In addition, the measure:

 

     (1)  Requires the Department of Accounting and General Services to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2013; and

 

     (2)  Appropriates $50,000 for the Department of Accounting and General Services to contract with an independent third party to develop a long-range plan for Aloha Stadium.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from The Pacific Resource Partnership and one individual.  Your Committee received written comments in opposition to this measure from the Aloha Stadium Authority.

 

     Your Committee finds that Aloha Stadium has a broad and diverse spectrum of users, including the University of Hawaii.  The feasibility study required by this measure will allow the State to make an informed decision regarding the efficacy of placing the stadium under the jurisdiction of the University of Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the appropriation to an unspecified sum; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2990, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2990, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
