STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2647

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2806

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2806 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC HOUSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority with the power to set the salary of the Authority's Executive Director at a level commensurate to the position's public and private sector counterparts and in compliance with federal guidelines.

 

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Human Services and the Hawaii Public Housing Authority.

 

     Your Committee finds that on August 26, 2011, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Public and Indian Housing issued notice PIH-2011-48 (HA) specifying considerations applicable to the compensation of the Executive Director of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority.  Your Committee finds that the amendments to section 356D-2(b), Hawaii Revised Statutes, will allow the Board of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to comply with the requirements of the notice, ensure that the Executive Director's compensation remains completely federally funded, and prevent other monetary sanctions from being imposed for failure to comply with the notice.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2806, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2806, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
