<br /> <br /> <br />KOSSOW: Alright, so we’re going to move over to agenda number 5, Communication 7. <br />I would like to— <br /> <br />SHANNON MATSON <br /> <br />KAUKA: Mr. Chair, this is Dennis. I’m very sorry to interrupt, but I've been alerted that <br />we may have Ms. Matson back online again, if we can check to see if she is able to offer <br />her testimony? Ms. Matson, are you able to come through now? <br /> <br />MATSON: I am, yes. Again, I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I’ve been having so many <br />difficulties with this call but thank you. Yes, so I’m not sure if you heard one of my <br />questions was regarding the budget and what’s happening with the laptops after this <br />redistricting project. And then, it’s more of a comment than a question, but it’s a request <br />that we not have these meetings scheduled the same time the State Redistricting <br />Commission is meeting. As you can all see, we’re covering a lot of material here, it’s a <br />long meeting and some of us are interested in the State process as well. So, we’re about <br />to jump on another lengthy call on the same topic. So, I would really appreciate if that <br />could be taken into future consideration for your meeting planning. And I just wanted to <br />overall just mahalo you guys for so far this process seems much more transparent than at <br />the State level and I’m hoping it will stay that way and that we can also have adequate <br />times for public testimony on the maps that are going to be proposed considering that of <br />course, the timeline has been greatly condensed due to COVID and the late census data <br />that we received. So, that’s all my testimony for now. Thank you so much for being so <br />accommodating with me today, and again, mahalo for all the work you’re doing. <br /> <br />KOSSOW: Thank you, Ms. Matson. I guess I’ll ask the question for her, where does the <br />computers go after this Commission meeting? <br /> <br />KAUKA: Mr. Chair, we have Pat coming up to the table to advise on that. <br /> <br />KOSSOW: Mahalo. <br /> <br />NAKAMOTO: Hi, I am Pat Nakamoto. I’m the Elections Program Administrator for the <br />County of Hawaiʻi. As of right now, the laptops are on the Elections inventory. After the <br />Commission is done, the laptops will be made available, will be kept in the County, and <br />whoever, whichever agency or if the County Clerk’s Office—they will go for County <br />use, and we will transfer them to whichever department or division needs them. <br /> <br />KOSSOW: Thank you, Ms. Nakamoto. Okay, we’re going to move over—I'm sorry, <br />Dennis, do you have any more testifiers that popped in? <br /> <br />KAUKA: No, Mr. Chair. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 37 <br /> <br />
