address of each non-resident student, and/or 3) the zip code of each non-resident student. The <br />university or college does not need to supply the non-resident student’s name (privacy issues). <br />The address will help in locating the correct census block in which to put that person. <br />If the college or university refuses to supply any information, you have at least tried, and <br />that shows a good faith effort on your part that should be considered by any judge if there is a <br />lawsuit. <br />If the state provides a non-resident student extraction, but does not provide the census <br />block in which the student resides, you may have no choice but to use the address of the nearest <br />university or college or even a single university or college as the census block to which to assign <br />the students. (e.g. You could investigate how many students attend each college or university <br />and prorate the number of students to each college, or your investigation could indicate that <br />every student at a particular college is a non-resident.) <br />Just document the event in your draft final plan and the reasons why you chose to do <br />whatever it is that you decide. Ask yourself and each other, did we really make a good faith <br />effort on this issue? Why or why not? <br />12.What are extraction numbers? <br />A:The total population of residents will be provided by the State. In previous <br />redistricting years, the State has provided an extraction to remove the non-resident military and <br />their non-resident military dependents. The State also provided an extraction for non-resident <br />students. The State reapportionment commission will make decisions on what they will include <br />or exclude for the State’s purpose, but that answer may not be available for several months. In <br />Hawai’i County, a decision was made by the Council to remove the non-residents for the purpose <br />of redistricting. <br />12.Can the County Council provide the extraction numbers for the commission? <br />A:No. The County Council as a body cannot assist you in obtaining information <br />from the State or the Census Bureau. Additionally, it does not have access to those numbers. <br />13.Why is the State taking so long to negotiate a contract for software and delivering <br />the population numbers to the county? <br />A:I don’t know. This seems to happen each redistricting year. Sometimes the <br />legislature does not fund adequately or in a timely manner for the State Office of Elections to <br />negotiate a contract. <br />The State must have master software before it can accept the downloads from the Census <br />Bureau into the software and separate the population data to send to the respective counties. <br />14.How much did the lawsuit against the reapportionment commission cost the county? <br />A:Mr. Udovic can obtain that information. <br />It might interest the commission to know that there were actually two lawsuits filed <br />against the 2001 reapportionment commission. One based on the lack of socio-economic <br /> <br />
