anywhere they want. So, it makes it pretty impossible to accurately remove populations based on somebody saying, oh those folks over there, over in that neighborhood, all of them are over there. So, that's where this problem has arisen from. It's uhwe wanted to take non -citizens out, which is not what the Census is about. It's a count of persons. Not voters, not citizens, persons. Because every person needs to be represented. Unless you're represented somewhere else, and that's the feeling of —if you're in Hawaii, it's if you're represented somewhere else, you should be counted there and if you're not counted there, that's your problem. We're only counting people who are here. HUSTACE: Thank you for your explanation. And, could you touch on, if you have this knowledge, what is the percentage that was that captured for Hawaii County? Has that been shared? ROSENBROCK: It's uhI think at the time there might have been less than 800. HUSTACE: I'm sorry. For clarification, the total percentage of citizens that were captured here on Hawaii County. What was that percentage out of a 100? What was the total count? Percentage wise? ROSENBROCK: You mean persons? HUSTACE: Yes. ROSENBROCK: Yeah. Um, I think it was roughly 110,000. I believe. I mean it's been a long time. HUSTACE: And, so I guess I'm just asking what percentage was the Census able to capture of Hawai `i County? Did it hit a 90 percent threshold of capturing? ROSENBROCK: Oh, I have no idea. HUSTACE: Okay. ROSENBROCK: Yeah, that'sI don't I HUSTACE: Thank you. ROSENBROCK: Whatever those guys do, it'sI would imagine it's pretty high. Anything else? (No response.) KOSSOW: Thank you, Mr. Rosenbrock. Is there any other questions from the Commissioners? (No response.) Alright, thank you very much. ROSENBROCK: Okay, just so you know, if anything happens, we'll let Pat know, and she'll let you know, and we'll get to work. 091
