explanatory or other information relating to effective date or <br /> computation of terms. <br /> 30. An amendment of the Charter which would retroactively <br /> insert language relating to term limit computation, as proposed <br /> in 1998, would not be respective of the due process rights of <br /> the affected individuals. (A copy of Ordinance 98-78 is <br /> attached as Exhibit "L". ) <br /> Based on the above findings, I conclude that: <br /> 1. The term limit contained in Section 3-2, Article III, <br /> Hawaii County Charter, should be construed to begin counting <br /> terms to which persons were elected beginning with the 1998 <br /> Primary and General Elections. Persons elected to the County <br /> Council at the 1996 General Election simultaneously with the <br /> approval of Proposal 1 and still presently serving, are eligible <br /> to become candidates for the 2004 County Council election. <br /> 2. Nomination papers will be issued by this office to <br /> such persons if requested and accepted by this office if <br /> submitted. <br /> 3. Names of said persons shall be placed on the 2004 <br /> ballot for election pursuant to the Hawaii County Charter. <br /> DATED at Hilo, Hawaii, this day of February, 2003. <br /> Al Konishi, County Clerk <br /> 10 <br />
