RE:    S.B. No. 1615

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 1615 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR SWIMMING POOLS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the repair and/or replacement of swimming pools in the County of Hawaii located at Honokaa, Konawaena, and Laupahoehoe High Schools.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education, the Office of the Mayor of the County of Hawaii, and the Department of Parks and Recreation of the County of Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee finds that county swimming pools located at or immediately adjacent to public high school campuses and utilized by the school for physical education classes, swim teams, and even the general public, are old and in need of repair and renovation.  The intent of this measure is to provide funding for the repair and/or replacement of swimming pools in the County of Hawaii.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1615 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

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