So since the the laws and ordinances that apply in Honolulu apply all across the island they also apply in Pearl City? Are there representatives from the other areas of the island on the council? Like the North Shore, Pearl City, etc.? This kind of sounds like one mayor/council is both the city council for Honolulu and a Board of Supervisors for the rest of the island. Is this a good assesment of how the government is set up?
