2009 -10 Charter Commission - 13 Page 3 March 12, 2010 CA- 17:REAPPORTIONMENT TO REDISTRICTING (Draft 2) Amends Section 3 -17 of the Hawaii county charter. This amendment is to change the name of the Reapportionment Commission to "Redistricting Commission" to make the name consistent with the practice of redrawing district lines. Additionally, provisions are being added so that the commission shall adhere to the four redistricting criteria instead of being "guided" by them. Public hearing requirements are being added as well as a required report to the mayor and council about the commission's activities and progress. Last, the commission is to be appointed and confirmed by July 1 prior to the census year to give the commission more time to complete their work with the exception of the 2011 commission. Amended and held over February 12, 2010 (Note: There is a pending motion to approve CA -17 at second reading by Mr. Kaulukukui and duly seconded by Mr. Unger as amended February 12, 2010 to clarify that the 2011 redistricting commission will be appointed by March 1, 2011.) CA- 38:VOLUNTARY STATUS OF BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS (Draft 2) Amends Section 13 -4, relating to Boards and Commissions. Amendment retains item (g) and amends the amount a board or commission member may receive as compensation. (Note: CA -38 was amended to Draft 2 at the February 12, 2010 meeting.
