H. D. 1
S. D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Water and Land and Housing, to which was
referred H.C.R. No. 140, H.D. 1, entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE OFFICE OF PLANNING
AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TO DEVELOP A SCOPE OF WORK OR
REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS FOR BIDDERS TO PERFORM THEIR OWN
ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY THAT DETERMINES WHETHER A
DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE LONG-TERM FISCAL
SUSTAINABILITY OF THE STATE AND RESPECTIVE COUNTY,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the Office
of Planning and Sustainable Development to develop a scope of work
or requests for proposals for bidders to perform their own
analysis and methodology that will determine whether a development
will contribute to the long-term fiscal sustainability of the
State and respective county.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development.
Your Committees find that the Government Accountability
Office predicts that state and county governments will operate
with negative balances until 2060 without major policy change due
to a combination of an aging population and the need to replace
degrading infrastructure. Your Committees further find that

fiscal sustainability is achievable and requires new development
proposals to be not only evaluated against adopted development
regulations and construction standards, but also in relation to
the fiscal productivity of the project. Your Committees also find
that proposed developments should be judged, in part, on their
long-term fiscal cost or benefit to the city. Your Committees
therefore believe that the Office of Planning and Sustainable
Development should develop a scope of work or requests for
proposals for bidders to perform their own analysis to determine
whether or not a proposed development will contribute to the long
term sustainability of the State and respective county, which
would give decisionmakers and the public useful information when
renewing project proposals, plans, and zoning applications.
Your Committees have amended this measure by making a
technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity
and consistency.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Water and Land and Housing that are attached to this
report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of
H.C.R. No. 140, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend its
adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 140, H.D. 1,
S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committees on Water and Land
and Housing,
