username and password that you just created, and then click sign in. The first time you do <br /> this, you'll be prompted for a security question and answer. Just like in other online <br /> applications, there's a variety of choices for the security question. Choose the question of <br /> your choice, and provide an answer. Once you've done that, go ahead, click the okay <br /> button. Once again, this is an application with ESRI and Office of Elections, and it wants <br /> to make sure you're going to sign in to this application using your user account and you <br /> click yes, allow. There's a usual agreement, licensing agreements. Read through the <br /> whole thing if you want. If you want to use the app, go down and click agree. And that <br /> opens the application, at which point you see a choice of template plans. At this point, we <br /> have two template plans to choose from. They're both for the Congressional. A blank <br /> plan where <br /> JONES beaking over the recorded video): There's acutally four now. I don't know if <br /> you can hear me, but you will see two council ones on their now, since I made the video. <br /> JONES (via recorded video presentation): neither of the two Hawaii Congressional <br /> districts. The second plan is the current plan. So we've taken the current district <br /> boundaries, for Districts 1 and 2, and assigned all census blocks to whatever their current <br /> boundary is. So that's the plan we're going to go ahead and open. That's the only two we <br /> have right now but we do, in the future, right now we anticipate September 10th, we <br /> should have then, the template plans for the State Senate and State House by basic island <br /> unit. So similiar to what you'll see today for the Congressional, you'll be able to start if <br /> you're interested more in doing State Senate on Maui say, you could go in and choose <br /> one of those templates and start working on your own plan. The difference between blank <br /> and current, a lot of times people have found in the past, and when I've worked with past <br /> commissions, that it's easier to start from the current districts and adjust them, then to <br /> start from blank. But you have both choices and you can choose whichever you want. <br /> Also looking to the future, at some point, the Commission will propose a set of plans that <br /> will go out for public hearing. At the time that happens, those proposed plans will also <br /> become available in Hawaii Redistricting Online. And there again,past experiences <br /> show, this is where we get the most use of the online application. Once the Commission <br /> has proposed a plan, members of the public go in and start with one of those proposed <br /> plans and then start suggesting other changes they'd like to see the Commission make. <br /> Right now, there's only two to get started, Congressional. And we're going to go ahead <br /> and use the current because again, that's the one that I think most people find most <br /> useful. Starting from the current districts, I'll select that template, current, and click the <br /> okay button. When I do that, then the application itself opens. We see a map, we see <br /> some district information down below. We see a set of tools, so there's different tabs as <br /> we go. This is the file tab with a set of tools on it. One will use first, is the save as when <br /> we want to take a plan and save it as our own. You'll also in the future, might use save. <br /> As you're making changes, you'll want to save those changes. You may also want to use <br /> open. You may have multiple plans you're working with. You'll want to save one, open <br /> another. So this file tab is one you'll use for managing the plans that you have. <br /> 17 <br />
