Re: Special Council Meeting to Consider Mayor's Nominees to the Redistricting Commission
In accordance with Rule No. 2 of the Rules of Procedure and Organization of the Council of the County
of Hawaii, I am scheduling a special meeting to be held on March 1, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. at the Hilo
Council Chambers. The purpose of the special meeting is to consider the confirmation of nine nominees
to serve on the 2011 Redistricting Commission. The nine nominees were forwarded by Mayor William P.
Kenoi to the Clerk's Office on February 15, 2011.
Hawaii County Charter, Section 3- 17(d), 2008 edition, states in part: "The year 1991 and every year
thereafter shall be reapportionment years. The reapportionment commission shall be appointed and
confirmed by March 1 of the reapportionment year." Section 2, proposal No. 5 of the 2009 -2010 County
of Hawaii Charter Commission, which was duly approved by the electorate at the 2010 general election,
states that the 2011 Redistricting Commission shall be appointed in the manner of Section 3 -17(d) of the
2008 edition of the Charter. As such, and to follow the requirements of the Charter, and pursuant to
Charter 3 -17 and rule 2 of the rules of procedure, I am announcing a special meeting to be held on March
1, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. at the Hilo Council Chambers. Videoconferencing will be available at the Waimea
Council office and the West Hawaii Civic Center.
Warmest Aloha.
