Maui County has 3 charter amendments on November ballot. What would they change?

Question #1: Salary Commission
“Shall the Charter be amended to require the Salary Commission to determine ‘salaries’ instead of ‘compensation’ for elected officials and appointed directors and deputy directors to maintain consistency with the Constitution of the State of Hawai’i and remove fiscal barriers to create equity through benefits such as reimbursement of travel costs?”


Question #2: Independent Staffing for Board of Ethics
“Shall the Charter be amended, effective July 1, 2025, to authorize the Board of Ethics of the County of Maui to hire independent staff?”


Amendment #3: Board and Commission Terms
“Shall the Charter be amended, effective July 1, 2025, to minimize the risk of vacancies on boards and commissions generally, and specifically with regard to dedicated seats for members residing in less populous areas, by allowing the appointment of members of boards and commissions for two consecutive full terms or 10 consecutive years, whichever is greater?”
