MRS. KOBAYASHI : Couldn ' t you use voters along <br /> with the federal census? Wouldn ' t you get a better picture of <br /> how things are if you used the census plus the registered <br /> voters? "Based upon the most recent federal census and <br /> registered voter list. " How do you say it? <br /> CHAIRMAN ISHIDA: Could we say, "based upon <br /> but not limited to the most recent federal census"? <br /> MR. ODA: Fine. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Start that all over? <br /> CHAIRMAN ISHIDA: Based upon but not limited <br /> to. . . <br /> MR. ODA: Based upon but not necessarily <br /> limited to. <br /> CHAIRMAN ISHIDA: Right. <br /> MR. ODA: In 'other words , it could be limited <br /> to. . .okay, "The commission may apportion the existing council <br /> seats among the districts and redraw district lines where and <br /> when necessary according to law based upon , but not necessarily <br /> limited to, the most recent federal census. " <br /> CHAIRMAN ISHIDA: How is that? I think that <br /> is salable. How about paragraph 7, subparagraphs a, b, and <br /> c? Any comments to those provisions? Paragraph 8? What <br /> number were you thinking about , Stuart? In paragraph 8? <br /> MR. ODA: I 'm thinking of at least 6 months. <br /> MR. SAKATA: Under 80 days. <br /> MR. ODA: Under 80 days? The Honolulu one, <br /> the commission is constituted in July and that commission is <br /> mandated by before January 2 of the year following appointment <br /> the commission shall file a reapportionment plan. But that <br /> is the final one. Six months. So this one here can be lesser <br /> or whatever. Number 9, also. We added number 8, which is a <br /> proposed reapportionment because. . . . <br /> CHAIRMAN ISHIDA: How about 120 :days? <br /> MR. ODA: For which one? <br /> CHAIRMAN ISHIDA: Number 8. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : And there would have to be <br /> a public hearing after they. . . ? <br /> MR. ODA: Yes. The Honolulu one doesn ' t even <br /> permit that. There is no public hearing. They just in 6 <br /> months they file a reapportionment plan with the county clerk <br /> and that is it. Which is effective upon filing. So ours is <br /> extremely fair. <br /> -16- <br />
