businesses, nonprofits=20
and government =E2=80=93 to talk about how Hawaii can revitalize its =
economy. This is an=20
abridged version of that discussion. (
Petranik: The topic is revitalizing = Hawaii=E2=80=99s economy. Carol, I=E2=80=99m starting with you because = you=E2=80=99re the only=20 politician at the table. What should government do?

|
Fukunaga: What government should be doing that = it=E2=80=99s not=20 doing enough of right now is accelerating capital improvements on things = that we=20 need, like school repairs, infrastructure development and all the rest. = Also, we=20 should be measuring how long it takes to get things done and put in = specific=20 incentives: If departments are able to perform better than the standard = we set,=20 then next year their CIP (capital improvement projects) standing should = go up.=20 If they do poorly, their CIP standing should go down.
Chock: There=E2=80=99s almost a billion dollars in = deferred=20 maintenance and repairs between the University of Hawaii=E2=80=99s = 10-campus system and=20 the entire state Department of Education. If we took care of our = schools, that=20 would get a lot of our guys working again. It=E2=80=99s the classic = countercyclical=20 spending in a recession: When the private sector=E2=80=99s not putting = money into the=20 economy, government needs to take the lead.
One good example, the Legislature this past session funded the = University of=20 Hawaii=E2=80=99s West Oahu campus =E2=80=93 $48 million =E2=80=93 and = they=E2=80=99re going to be able to break=20 ground in August on construction of a new four-year university in = Kapolei.
Belsby: The fiscal crisis forced us to rethink our = view that=20 government was responsible for everything. We=E2=80=99re getting back to = the basic=20 purpose of government: providing infrastructure for the private sector = to=20 succeed. Instead of being responsible for bringing Silicon Valley to = Honolulu,=20 the idea is back to providing an educated labor force, highways, other = forms of=20 transportation, utility infrastructure in Hawaii.
To build that infrastructure, we should use some tools used in other = parts of=20 the country, such as Mello-Roos bonds in California. They=E2=80=99re = basically=20 private-sector bonds that have the full faith and backing of the state = as a=20 credit enhancement.
Nishizaki: In construction, the Honolulu airport = should have=20 been renovated much sooner. It=E2=80=99s the first and last impression = that visitors=20 have of Oahu, and that project should have taken first priority. = Honolulu=20 Airport is nice, but it=E2=80=99s certainly not up to par with other = airports around the=20 world.
Sullivan: In the short term, construction is a = terrific=20 investment. In the long term, education has been put under the rug. = That=E2=80=99s a=20 huge mistake. But in the medium term, the dialogue in tech is more = sophisticated=20 than it=E2=80=99s ever been. Act 221 created the environment for angel = investing in tech=20 companies, so we=E2=80=99ve got sophisticated angel investors, but to = bring a product to=20 market requires more capital. The state government can have a leadership = role in=20 encouraging more capital to bring these tech companies and their = innovative=20 technology to the marketplace.
There=E2=80=99s a lot to learn from what other states have done = successfully around=20 the country. Several years ago, Congress supported venture funds by = putting some=20 of its retirement money into them. Those venture funds then attracted = additional=20 capital. If you look at those funds today, 80 percent of businesses that = were=20 created are within about a 30-minute drive of where those funds = physically=20 reside. National Venture Capital Association numbers show that, for = every=20 $25,000 invested from these funds, you create one tech-sector job. = Average=20 salary for a tech-sector job is $70,000 to $75,000. Every dollar that = was=20 invested created $9 dollars circulating in the economy. It=E2=80=99s = well within the=20 flexibility of what the state can do to stimulate that.
Petranik: What=E2=80=99s the role of = universities?
Dancil: They=E2=80=99re usually the No. 1 source of = innovation. If=20 you look at tech centers around the country, they all center on = universities and=20 their engineering, computer science, medical schools. They find a niche. = I know=20 (UH) President Greenwood has made that one of her top three things to = do, and=20 she did appoint an innovation council. She wants to figure out a better = way to=20 commercialize technology coming out of the university, and = that=E2=80=99s a great first=20 step.
Okimoto: In agriculture, part of the problem is = developing=20 infrastructure. We=E2=80=99re losing a lot of our ag industries like the = pig industry,=20 chicken, all of the livestock, because we can=E2=80=99t keep up with the = infrastructure=20 =E2=80=93building of slaughterhouses, processing facilities and the new = ways to ensure=20 food safety. Part of the problem is getting government permits. I had to = put up=20 a facility just to wash the produce for food safety. When I started four = years=20 ago, our estimated cost was nearly half a million dollars. By the time I = finished, it was $2 million. That was after two years going through the=20 permitting =E2=80=93 county and state =E2=80=93 and that was actually an = expedited process. Most=20 small guys are not able to do that. I talked with some people about = bringing=20 back chickens. Just for the processing facility you=E2=80=99re looking = at $30 million=20 and you need an FDA inspector in there at all times. That=E2=80=99s what = makes the=20 system not work for small farmers. Corporate farmers are the only ones = that can=20 afford this infrastructure. And that=E2=80=99s what we lack here in = Hawaii. Agriculture=20 is going to need that help going forward.
Belsby: There are bright spots on the horizon, = because, for=20 the last several years, we were trying to copy Mainland models on = technology,=20 intellectual property, economic development in general. Now, = we=E2=80=99ve found where=20 our competitive advantage is and it appears that renewable and green = energy are=20 valued propositions for Hawaii. It=E2=80=99s interesting that companies = like General=20 Electric, Shell Oil, First Wind =E2=80=93 large multinational companies = =E2=80=93 are here doing=20 business, whether it=E2=80=99s wind, solar or otherwise. Admittedly, = they are relying=20 upon federal laws or federal credits, but they=E2=80=99re not relying = upon state=20 support.
Petranik: Are there regulation fixes that government = can do=20 to help businesses?
Okimoto: One thing is having a one-stop (permit) = center=20 where you have county and state in the same building so you=E2=80=99re = not going back=20 and forth. That would help construction guys and everyone. It could be = done more=20 efficiently and without duplication.

Nishizaki =
says,=20
=E2=80=9CIndustries helping each other is great, =
|
Nishizaki: A study done last year about the loss of = Waikiki=20 Beach (due to sand erosion) said that would lead to a $2 billion decline = in=20 revenue for Hawaii. About four years ago, our company decided we were = going to=20 spend our own money to bring the public beach back to Gray=E2=80=99s = Beach in front of=20 the Sheraton Waikiki. That was four years ago. Our consultants told us = our=20 timeline would be 18 months to get it done. The timeline is still 18 = months. We=20 actually have to go through 25 different agencies =E2=80=93 state, = county and federal.=20 At the federal level, we were told this was navigable water. This is at = our=20 shoreline! We have spent over $600,000 in private funds already.
Fukunaga: It=E2=80=99s difficult to get all the = levels of government=20 to cooperate, but I=E2=80=99ll point to one success: Hawaii is the only = state that has a=20 consolidated permitting process for a film production. We said this = industry is=20 important for our long-term economic prosperity, so we devised a = permitting=20 system that crosses federal, state and local governments. I = don=E2=80=99t see why we=20 couldn=E2=80=99t cooperate and work together between state, county, and = federal in other=20 areas as well.
Dancil: Take an example from technology: importation = of=20 species. When I started my last biotech company, I just wanted to bring = in this=20 one virus strain =E2=80=93 very normal, off the shelf =E2=80=93 I had to = get this letter from=20 this person, get this letter from this other person, go talk to another = person,=20 and talk to one other person. Like the film industry, we want a = consolidated=20 approach.
