SECTION 1. Purpose.
The purpose of this ordinance is to modify the terms of membership and tenure to provide
for better continuity of membership and to allow interested members the opportunity to serve for
a longer period of time.
SECTION 2. Chapter 16, article 3, section 16-5, Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition,
as amended), is amended to read as follows:
"Section 16-5. Membership and tenure.
(a) The CDP action committee shall consist of nine members. All members shall have a primary
residence in the area covered by the CDP. The members shall be appointed by the mayor
and approved by the County council. If a position remains vacant for more than three
months, a person to fill the position may be appointed by a council member who represents
the area encompassed by the respective CDP, and the appointment approved by the council.
Prior service as a member of a CDP steering committee shall not disqualify an individual
from serving on the CDP action committee.
(b) The members shall serve staggered terms of four years. Upon the initial appointment of the
committee, three members shall serve for a term of two years, three members for a term of
three years, and three members for a term of four years. Subsequently, members may be
appointed for up to three terms. When the term of a member expires, the member shall
continue to serve until a successor is appointed. Existing vacancies shall be filled prior to
replacing any member whose term has expired but is willing to continue serving until the
vacancies are filled.
(c) The membership should reflect a broad cross-section of the community. The community
development plan may specify more detailed selection criteria consistent with this objective.
(d) A chairperson shall be elected from its membership annually.
(e) Except as provided for in this section, the committee shall be governed by the County
Charter, section 13-4."
SECTION 3. If any provision of this ordinance, or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of
the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this
end, the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

underscored. In printing this ordinance, the brackets, bracketed material, and underscoring need
not be included.
