Re: County of Hawaii Redistricting Population Extraction Numbers
I am in receipt of your letter of August 8, 2011 concerning the above
referenced subject.
In your letter you state an expectation of August 11, 2011 as the
completion date of the population extraction process. I need to inform you that
your expectation will not be met.
When I made the offer to staff of the Redistricting Commission of the
opportunity to share the software and the data to compute the redistricting
process I made it clear they were not required to use it. I was asked by staff and
commissioners about what if "the state does not do the extraction ?" My answer
has always been "you are free to do the extraction on your own." In fact Ersi
provided an estimate to the commission for 20 hours of support and no action
was taken on the matter. The state Reapportionment Commission is under an
exacting timeline also and they are as concerned about the extraction process as
your Redistricting Commission.
The extraction process is not just subtracting numbers on a spreadsheet.
It needs to be accomplished in a fashion which is fair and legally sustainable.
The process includes validation of the data and geo- coding (assigning) the data
to the correct census block (location). My consultant is in the process of
evaluating the data we received from the staff of USPACOM. The anticipated
date for completing the extraction process is approximately August 29, 2011.
have attached the table data of the number and postal zip codes of the non-
resident military population for Hawaii County.

The person whom Ms Eoff can contact about this matter is the same
person who has been answering her questions throughout this process, Royce
Jones.
If you still wish to wait for the State Reapportionment commission to adopt
an approved extraction model and population data set please direct your inquiry,
in writing, to Judge Victoria Marks, chair of the Reapportionment commission.
Very truly yours,
