The terms shall be four years at-large and the term of districts <br /> shall be two years. <br /> The specifics of where they come from shall be <br /> by House Representative Districts® I think this would fill <br /> the bill if the commission wishes to use this. <br /> MR. TRULSON : Mr. Oda. Would this fulfill the <br /> requirement of a residency requirement for the district <br /> representative? <br /> MR. OMONAKA: We adopted that earlier. That <br /> was Section <br /> MR. TRULSON: Evidently we have already <br /> adopted it. It was back. . .that the district representative <br /> must be a resident. <br /> MR. ODA: It says one councilman from. , . <br /> MR. TRULSON : . . .the 1st representative <br /> district. <br /> MR. ODA: Yes. Did we specify who are going to <br /> vote for these people? We are stating that they are from each <br /> of the representative districts. I don ' t think this proposal <br /> specifically states. . . <br /> MR. OMONAKA: . . .who are supposed to vote for <br /> those people. <br /> MR. ODA: I guess we have to put in language <br /> in there that says that only. . .oh, yes, "shall be elected by <br /> the qualified voters of the respective districts. " Thethird <br /> line® (of handout) <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. With regard to <br /> that language, Stuart, if we have a councilman per representative <br /> district, what happens if the House reapportions downward? <br /> MR. ODA: Well , it doesn ' t matter because under <br /> this language, until the reapportionment commission, the <br /> language in here just above the center, "Until the county <br /> reapportionment commission , as created hereunder, acts, the <br /> district councilmen shall be elected as follows : Changes <br /> to any district lines or boundaries shall be the exclusive <br /> province of the county reapportionment commission as provided <br /> in this charter, and the said district boundaries shall remain <br /> in effect until the county reapportionment commission realigns <br /> the said districts where necessary. . . " In other words , <br /> regardless of whether the House reapportionment ,commission <br /> changes boundaries , this shall stay in effect until the county' s <br /> reapportionment commission acts so that we are not piggybacked <br /> to the House reapportionment. <br /> -23- <br />
