Ms. Jarman moved to postpone discussion <br />on CA -12 (Draft 3) and CA -16 (Draft 2) until <br />the end of New Business items. Seconded by <br />Mr. Shumway and carried by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Honma, Jarman, <br />Kawauchi, Kealoha, Nahale -a, <br />Osborne, Shumway and Chair Haitsuka. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioners Fuertes, Kaulukukui <br />and Unger. <br />CA -17: REAPPORTIONMENT TO REDISTRICTING (Draft 2) <br />Amends Section 3 -17 of the Hawaii county charter. This amendment is to change the <br />name of the Reapportionment Commission to "Redistricting Commission" to make the <br />name consistent with the practice of redrawing district lines. Additionally, provisions are <br />being added so that the commission shall adhere to the four redistricting criteria instead of <br />being "guided" by them. Public hearing requirements are being added as well as a required <br />report to the mayor and council about the commission's activities and progress. Last, the <br />commission is to be appointed and confirmed by July 1st prior to the census year to give <br />them more time to complete their work with the exception of the 2011 commission. <br />Amended and held over February 12, 2010 <br />(Note: There is a pending motion to approve CA -17 at second reading by Mr. Kaulukukui <br />and duly seconded by Mr. Unger as amended February 12, 2010 to clarify that the 2011 <br />redistricting commission will be appointed by March 1, 2011.) <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any further discussion on CA -17? Mr. Hookano, at the last <br />meeting, you raised the concern about the timing in the present draft. Has that been <br />addressed in the current draft as of that meeting? Was that addressed in your revision? <br />MR. HOOKANO: Yes, in the current draft it has been addressed to read that the 2011 <br />commission will be appointed according to the current provisions of the Charter. They <br />can't be appointed by July of this year, because that is going to come and go. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any further discussion on CA -17? Are we ready to vote? <br />The motion to approve CA -17 Draft 2 at second <br />reading was carried by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Honma, Jarman, <br />Kawauchi, Kealoha, Nahale -a, <br />Osborne, Shumway and Chair Haitsuka. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioners Fuertes, Kaulukukui and Unger. <br />23 <br />
