NEW BUSINESS (part 2) <br /> KOSSOW: Is there any other discussion regarding agenda item number 3? Hustace? <br /> HUSTACE: Chair, if it's appropriate at this time, I think this also falls under some of the <br /> testimony we received, and I was curious. We've had this conversation before about <br /> incarcerated persons and the population count. And I don't know—I can't remember the <br /> motion we had previously that we passed, but it was to pursue that at greater lengths from <br /> my understanding, and up the ladder as well. And I don't know if that had any traction or <br /> if it made any progress, and if we need to have any follow up on that. <br /> KOSSOW: I believe we had a communications regarding it. Is Ms. Mellon-Lacey still <br /> available? It might have been the Office of Elections. Ms. Nakamoto? (Pause.) Mr. <br /> Hustace, do you yield? <br /> HUSTACE: Yes, sir. <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Lui. <br /> LUL I believe it was my motion a couple of meetings ago, that weIt seemed like it was <br /> a State legislative issue as to where incarcerated people are counted. So, the motion, I <br /> believe that was passed, was that we communicate that to our legislators to make sure it's <br /> brought up and that something gets changed over the next ten years, before the next <br /> redistricting process goes on. I'd have to go back and look at the minutes to see what that <br /> motion was. Sorry. I yield. <br /> KOSSOW: Thank you, Ms. Lui. Any other discussion? <br /> HUSTACE: So, Chair, I just wasn't sure if—the status of that. If we've madeIf that's <br /> come across your desk to sign and send on to legislators or Elections Office. And if we <br /> need to make any further action on that. <br /> KOSSOW: Is Ms. Nakamoto still available? Or Ms. Mellon-Lacey? And/or. <br /> NAKAMOTO: Hi. I don't have that information in front of me right now and I recall <br /> speaking with, I think it was DBEDT. They provided us with some information, but I <br /> would need to go back and read up on what they said,just to refresh my memory. <br /> KOSSOW: Thank you. Just for the record, Communications 17.1, which was Ms. Lui <br /> requesting counting incarcerated Hawaii residents. Mr. Lopez? <br /> LOPEZ: I have a different recollection. Was that actually a motion? I remember that Ms. <br /> Nakamoto was asked to find out where are incarcerated counted. Either in their location <br /> of incarceration or the home location. And she did reply that the powers that be count <br /> them in their location of incarceration. That's my recollection of this topic. I don't recall <br /> 24 <br />
