                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 13
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs and Economic Development, to which was referred S.C.R.
No. 13 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CONTINUING EFFORTS
     TO DEVELOP HILO'S BAYFRONT,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to urge the Department of
Land and Natural Resources to initiate a collaborative effort
with Hawaii County and private landowners to create a bayfront
beach park and cultural center.

     No testimony was received on this measure.

     Your Committees find that a bayfront beach park and cultural
center in Hilo, Hawaii, would accommodate additional recreational
activities, provide for meaningful cultural development and
exploration, and create new and revitalizing economic development
opportunities for the area.

     Your Committees have amended this measure by designating the
Chairperson of the Hawaii County Council as a recipient of a
certified copy of this measure.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs and
Economic Development that are attached to this report, your
Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 13,

 
a                                                     SCR13 SD1

as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached hereto as
S.C.R. No. 13, S.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committees on Transportation
                                   and Intergovernmental Affairs
                                   and Economic Development,
