Urging the office of planning to establish a working group to determine potential parcels of land under the ownership of the state or the city and county of Honolulu where jurisdiction should be exchanged to facilitate specific missions.

 

 


     WHEREAS, the State and the City and County of Honolulu own parcels of land that fall under each other's jurisdictions; and

     WHEREAS, likewise the jurisdictional transfer of certain parcels of land from the City and County of Honolulu to the State would facilitate the completion of state-run projects; and

     WHEREAS, the State is currently seeking to redevelop certain schools as part of their Twenty-First Century School Initiative, but potential candidate schools for the initiative are located on county-owned land; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2013, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Office of Planning of the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism is urged to establish a working group to determine potential parcels of land under the ownership of the State or the City and County of Honolulu where jurisdiction should be exchanged to facilitate the completion of specific missions; and
