REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> <br /> DATE: May 19, 1997 Re: Comm. No. 268 <br /> <br /> PLACE: Councilroom <br /> <br /> TIME: 10:40 A.M. <br /> <br /> Chair and Members <br /> <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 75, reports as follows: <br /> <br /> Resolution No. 75, transmitted by Council Chair James Y. Arakaki, via Communication No. 268, <br /> <br /> dated April 22, 1997, supports the relocation of the Hawaii Community College campus to the <br /> <br /> Downtown Hilo area. <br /> Due to the Hawaii Community College's limited and deteriorating facility on Manono Street it <br /> shares space with the University of Hawaii at Hilo. With both institutions expanding their <br /> student population and programs, additional classroom space is required. <br /> The proposed relocation would allow the Hawaii Community College and the University of <br /> Hawaii at Hilo to expand its own programs, and the merchants and property owners in <br /> Downtown Hilo would benefit from the economic stimulation. <br /> Initial discussions with the State Executive Branch, the administrations of the University of <br /> Hawaii and the Hawaii Community College and the Hilo Downtown Improvement Association <br /> have resulted in positive projections for the potential relocation of the Community College to <br /> Downtown Hilo. <br /> Monies have been earmarked for new classroom construction, which might be redirected to <br /> planning and implementing the relocation of the Community College to Downtown Hilo. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 75-and <br /> recommends its adoption. <br /> Ikc <br /> Ayes Nues ANNE EX <br /> Respectfully submitted <br /> CHUNC X <br /> LEtTHEAU-TOnn x CO TTEE N FINANCE <br /> RAV x <br /> SANTANGELO X <br /> SMITH X <br /> TvLEe X AARON S.Y.
