Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 161 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A STUDY OF MORNING TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON THE MEHEULA PARKWAY GOING ONTO THE H2 FREEWAY FROM MILILANI MAUKA,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Department of Transportation to conduct a study in conjunction with the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services of morning traffic congestion on the Meheula Parkway.

 

     Your Committee on Finance conducted a public hearing on a proposed draft of this concurrent resolution, deleting its current contents, and inserting language requesting Castle & Cooke Hawaii, Inc. to release land designated for the operational development of the Oahu Arts Center.

 

     Testimony in support of this concurrent resolution was received from the State Representative of the 37^th District, Schnitzer Steel Hawaii Corp., Pas De Deux Performing Arts Center, Hawaii Carpenters Union, several members of Neighborhood Board No. 25, numerous concerned individuals, and several students.  Testimony in opposition to this concurrent resolution was received from Castle & Cooke Hawaii, Inc. and the Chair of Neighborhood Board No. 35.

 

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended the proposed concurrent resolution by:

 

     (1)  Requesting Castle & Cooke Hawaii, Inc. to work with the Oahu Arts Center and the community to secure an appropriate site for an arts center;

 

     (2)  Changing the title of the concurrent resolution to conform to the new purpose; and

 

     (3)  Making a clarifying amendment.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 161, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 161, H.D. 1.

 

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