WHEREAS, on June 5, 2006, the Clerk received one request to withdraw the <br /> person's signature in the supplementary petition; and <br /> WHEREAS, one signature was later disqualified when it was found that the <br /> petition was signed after the circulator's attestation date; and <br /> WHEREAS, the total number of signatures examined on the petition was 8,780; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, an "Amended Certificate of Insufficiency" (see Exhibit"2") was <br /> <br /> transmitted to the County Council dated July 1, 2006, with a determination that the <br /> original and supplementary petition contained a total 3,982 valid signatures; and <br /> WHEREAS, the validation process was generally the same as that used when <br /> validating candidate nomination petitions and political party petitions; and <br /> WHEREAS, Section li-5(c), Hawaii County Charter, requires the Council to <br /> review the Clerk's certificate, and to approve or reject the certificate or to substitute its <br /> own determination of sufficiency of the petition by resolution. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF <br /> HAWAII that it stipulates to Findings 1-27 of the County Clerk in the "Amended <br /> Certificate of Insufficiency" with the exception of the invalidation of 1,578 signatures, <br /> which residence address did not match (RANM), noted in Finding 27. <br /> BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it believes that most residence addresses did not <br /> match because people have moved, have not updated their voter registration <br /> information with the Office of the County Clerk-Elections Division, and have the <br /> opportunity to re-register up to and on Primary and General Election Days. <br /> BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it finds the people who fell within this category <br /> were registered voters in the County of Hawaii, who will update their residence address <br /> information prior to voting. <br /> BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED that it finds, with the addition of 1,578 signatures <br /> which residence address did not match (RANM), the total number of valid signatures is <br /> 5,560-714 more than required. <br /> BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Council determines that the petition <br /> (original and supplementary) filed by the Save Our Land Citizens' Committee contains <br /> sufficient signatures to consider the ordinance it proposes. <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
