RE: Request of Commissioner J. Melrose
RODNEYOSHIR0
Deputy County Clerk
This memorandum is in response to an inquiry from Commissioner J. Melrose dated July 12,
2011, requesting information and /or copies of old maps depicting historical council district
boundaries for the period 1970 through 2000.
Review of County Charters prior to 1991 indicate that the Hawaii County Council was
composed of nine members who were elected "at- large ". Of the nine members one shall be a
resident of the district of Puna, one a resident of the district of Ka`u, one a resident of the
combined districts of North and South Kona, one a resident of the combined districts of
North and South Kohala, one a resident of the district of Hamakua and one a resident of the
combined districts of North and South Hilo. The 1968 and 1980 County Charters provided,
in part, that "the ballots for the primary and general elections shall be prepared to give every
voter in the county the opportunity to vote for each and every council seat." The
composition remained the same until November 1990 when voters approved single- member
council districts for the County of Hawaii.
We understand that district boundaries applicable prior to 1991 were the historical judicial
districts of Hawaii County. A copy of the map depicting historical judicial districts for the
County of Hawaii, the 1991 Council District map, and the 2001 Council District map will be
made available for public viewing at the July 28, 2011 Redistricting Commission meeting.
