RE:    S.B. No. 97

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 97 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR WAILUA EMERGENCY BYPASS ROAD REPAIR AND RESURFACING, AND WAIMEA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADES FOR THE COUNTY OF KAUA‘I,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds and making an appropriation for Wailua emergency bypass road repair and resurfacing, and Waimea wastewater treatment plant upgrades for the County of Kaua‘i.

    

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Kaua‘i Department of Public Works; Laborers' International Union of North America Local 368; Hawai‘i Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO, and one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that the appropriation for the Waimea wastewater treatment plant upgrades will be used to upgrade and expand the capacity of the plant, which treats wastewater from the community of Waimea.

 

     Your Committee further finds that repairs and resurfacing to the Wailua emergency bypass road will allow traffic to keep flowing along Kuhio highway during emergencies.  The appropriation is needed because the cost of the project has proven to be prohibitively expensive for the county.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 97 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 Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs,
