KOSSOW: Mr. Yoshina, would you like to repeat your question. <br /> YOSHINA: My question is, what are our responsibilities, obligations, and authorities <br /> under the County Charter or State law, to do what is being requested? I'm for doing it. I <br /> just want to be clear that we have that authority. <br /> MELLON-LACEY: I would like to request some time to just review this in more detail <br /> and then do a communication to the Commission,please. <br /> YOSHINA: It's okay with me. Thank you. <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Lui. <br /> LUL I just wanted to make sure that that did not mean that Director Nakamoto would not <br /> ask right away, the State, the question she had. Is Corporation Counsel okay with her <br /> going ahead with that question while you're investigating? <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Oh yes, absolutely. I didn't know you were asking me. <br /> LUL That's no problem. Thank you. <br /> KOSSOW: Do we have any other further discussion regarding unfinished business P <br /> Mr. Hustace. <br /> HUSTACE: Just curious about this timeline here. Like we're in the crunch, the end of the <br /> year, right? And we have communication from Common Cause talking about <br /> incarcerated people and how to count them at home. We're curious about legality issues. <br /> Mr. Yoshina brought that up. About how we can change the data, we'd have to vote on <br /> changing that, I think, to allocate those people to the districts that they would call home, <br /> if they do have a home that they called home on their census information. I kind of would <br /> urge some expediency here with this. It would alter the maps that the public are dealing <br /> with and that we're trying to tinker with as well. I don't know where this leaves us but I <br /> would agree with this. We're not trying to gerrymander any prison districts so,just <br /> curious how this would impact our timeline here. <br /> NAKAMOTO: I just have a comment to make. I'm going to continue to ask DBEDT if <br /> they can provide us the residence addresses for the individuals who are incarcerated in <br /> our Hawaii County facilities at the time the census was taken. I'm assuming that that <br /> information has already been provided to the Census Bureau. Because this is such a <br /> transient population within these facilities, their information may have changed from the <br /> time that that information was submitted to the Census Bureau. I don't know where that <br /> leaves us. If they are able to provide us with the addresses, we would only have the <br /> addresses at the time the census information was received by the individuals. <br /> YOSHINA: Mr. Chair, this is Dwayne. <br /> 10 <br />
