STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2218

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2806

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, 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 authorize the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to set the Executive Director's compensation based on a comparability analysis and other factors.

 

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

 

     Your Committee finds that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a notice on August 26, 2011, to the Department of Human Services that requires all public housing authorities to report executive compensation information and to conduct comparability analyses when determining the executive directors' compensation levels.  Your Committee further finds that under section 356D-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Executive Director's compensation is to be no more than eighty-five percent of the Director of Human Resources Development's salary.  This measure will provide the Hawaii Public Housing Authority Board of Directors the ability to set the Executive Director's compensation in conformance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's notice and thereby avoid severe monetary penalties for non-compliance.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2806 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 Human Services,
