At a glance

• What: Changes in the membership of the nine-member Council: a Kahului vacancy filled by appointment, a member listed as In Memoriam and the 2026 general election.
• Where it stands: Kauanoe Batangan was appointed in December 2025 to fill the Kahului vacancy and sworn in in January 2026. The Council website lists Tasha Kama as In Memoriam. The 2026-11-03 general election produced new members; full seat results and the start date of the new term were not verified.
• Next: The new term; the start date is not verified.

Details

• Resolution 26-151, a condolence resolution, was recorded as passed on 2026-09-29. The source links it to the Council's remembrance of a colleague but the name in the resolution title differs from the roster entry, so the connection is uncertain.
• The Council site still lists Tasha Kama as chair of the Housing and Land Use Committee and vice-chair of Budget, Finance, and Economic Development; the committee pages list Nohelani Uu-Hodgins as Housing and Land Use chair. Current leadership is uncertain.
