RE: s.R. No. 16o
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Water and Land and Public Safety and
Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R.
No. 160 entitled:
”SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND
NATURAL RESOURCES TO TRANSFER TO THE COUNTY OF MAUI THE
LAHAINA PUBLIC LIBRARY MAKAI LAWN,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Department of Land and Natural Resources to transfer to the County
of Maui the makai lawn at the Lahaina Public Library.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from one member of the Maui County Council and one individual.
Your Committees received comments on this measure from the
Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Your Committees find that because the makai lawn adjacent to
the Lahaina Public Library belongs to the State, the attractive
site and location has sat unused, and members of the public have
been foreclosed from obtaining permits to use the space for
events. Your Committees believe that by transferring the makai
lawn from the State to the County of Maui, the makai lawn can be
restored and put to its highest and best use. Therefore, this
measure requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources to
transfer the makai lawn to the County of Maui.
