HI SCR103

Requests the United States military to return unused land that becomes available at Bellows Air Force Station to the State of Hawaii for community use.

Notes that Bellows Air Force Station was established in 1917 as the Waimanalo Military Reservation and renamed Bellows Field in 1933, becoming a permanent military post in July 1941.

Recognizes that portions of the station previously used for aircraft runways, missile sites, landfills, munitions storage, and training facilities are no longer in use for those purposes.

Acknowledges that some formerly used military land has been rehabilitated and restored, while other land awaits restoration, and that some restored parcels were previously returned to community use.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the President of the United States, Hawaii's Congressional delegation, Secretary of Defense, Indo-Pacific Command, Governor, Department of Land and Natural Resources director, and the Waimanalo Neighborhood Board chair.
