      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 2735 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STADIUM AUTHORITY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to update the membership requirements and status of the Stadium Authority to meet current circumstances by:

 

      (1) Allowing the five-year residency requirement to qualify for an appointment to the Authority to be fulfilled at any time before appointment, instead of the immediately preceding five-year period;

 

     (2)  Changing the status of the President of the University of Hawaii from an ex officio nonvoting member to an ex officio voting member of the Stadium Authority; and

 

     (3)  Clarifying that the Authority consists of eleven members, including two ex officio members.

 

     The University of Hawaii System and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Athletics Department provided testimony in support of this Measure.  The Stadium Authority provided comments on this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Reducing the membership of the Stadium Authority to ten members by removing the Superintendent of Education as a member of the Authority; and

 

     (2)  Reverting the President of the University of Hawaii back to an ex officio nonvoting member of the Authority.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2735, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2735, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Higher Education.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
