Hawai‘i County Clerk-Council
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawai‘i

Welcome to the website of the Hawai‘i County Council and Clerk’s Office.  The Hawai‘i County Council is the legislative policy-making branch of the County of Hawai‘i.  The Clerk’s Office provides staff support for the Council, as well as houses the county elections office, reprographics division, and legislative auditor’s office.  The following is the mission of the Office:

To serve the interests of the people of Hawai‘i Island by:  (1) assisting the County Council, in a professional and non-partisan manner, to carry out its policy-making duties; (2) carrying out voter registration and election-related responsibilities in a professional and non-partisan manner; (3) providing objective legal advice on legislation upon request from Council members; (4) accurately recording and carefully preserving and maintaining the legislative records of the County Council; (5) furnishing information to the public and County departments in a timely and professional manner;  and (6) meeting the reprographic needs of the County in a fair and efficient manner.  We will accomplish this through integrity and pride of service to ensure that the information provided is both accurate and accessible and through positive and professional service in our conduct, approach and attitude in servicing the Council and the public.

Council and Committee meetings are held twice a month either at the Council Chambers at 25 Aupuni Street Suite 1401 (Hilo) or at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort and Spa (Kona) meeting rooms.  All regularly scheduled meetings are video-conferenced, thereby allowing members of the public to attend at the Council Chambers in Hilo, the Kona Council Office, or the Waimea Council Office.  For a calendar of the meetings, click on the link below.
