RE:    S.C.R. No. 170

       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.C.R. No. 170, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY TO ENTER INTO A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR THE PLANNING, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, TURNKEY, AND FINANCING OF A NEW MAUI REGIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX AT PUUNENE, MAUI, WITH A STRONG EMPHASIS ON RE-ENTRY, TRANSITION, AND SUPPORT FOR FAMILY PROGRAMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to improve the State's ability to meet current correctional needs.

 

Specifically, this measure encourages the Department of Public Safety to enter into a public-private partnership agreement for the planning, design, construction, turnkey, and financing of a new Maui Regional Public Safety Complex at Puunene, Maui, and requests the Department of Public Safety to place a strong emphasis on re-entry, transition, and support for family programs at the new complex.

 

     Written comments in support of this measure were submitted by the Department of Public Safety.  Written comments in opposition to this measure were submitted by Ohana Ho'opakele and three individuals.  Written comments on this measure were submitted by the Community Alliance on Prisons.

 

     Your Committee finds that the County of Maui is in need of modernized and expanded correctional facilities to meet its current correctional needs.  Your Committee further finds that the most economically efficient way to achieve the needed construction of a new correctional facility is for the Department of Public Safety to enter into a public-private partnership for the planning, design, construction, turnkey, and financing of a new Maui Regional Public Safety Complex in the Puunene, Maui region.

 

     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 170, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

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