BATH: My first thought is for everybody to get confident, to be trained. That would be <br /> the first point. Once we can all use the tools and are confident, some of us aren't quite <br /> there yet, then we can start really doing the work efficiently. The second thing would be <br /> to establish a work meeting where we're working together. During the Puna Community <br /> Development Plan, what I was saying is, we were trying to identify connectivity locations <br /> between subdivisions for redundancy. We did that as a committee. Then what we did <br /> was, later on we had this prep fair, two prep fairs, and we put out the maps to the <br /> community. They came in a marked up the maps. We brought the data back, we crunched <br /> it and we resubmitted our plan to them. So, everybody was working together. What I'm <br /> putting out, it doesn't have to be, but I'm putting out first, to get trained properly, and <br /> then to have a work meeting where we're all working together so we're not at home <br /> doing our plans, coming together, and the one district saying "No way! That's going to <br /> mess up my district."We can't do that. Then we'd have to go back to the drawing board. <br /> So, working together. And it is possible that the public could be involved in these work <br /> meetings as well if that's allowable. What do you guys think? <br /> KOSSOW: Mr. Hustace. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you, Ms. Bath. I do like your idea of a working meeting. This does <br /> violate a Sunshine Law. We'd have to have a public—we'd have to be a very public <br /> setting for us to do that. I think you kind of mentioned that, we'd all have to be physically <br /> together, right that's what you're recommending? <br /> BATH: That's correct. <br /> HUSTACE: I think you touched on it earlier before our fire alarm here, and it really was <br /> a question for Ms. Mellon-Lacey. I don't know if during your transition from being <br /> virtual to being present in the room, you missed some of that information, but we are <br /> still—and I would hope to speak for everyone here (indiscernible)that we are aiming <br /> for this 31st deadline of December. However, we are hoping have something in our back <br /> pocket just in case we need additional time. I think our goal here is to really stick with the <br /> timeline. Ms. Lui sent in the writ from the courts, or the Supreme Court, granting the <br /> State Reapportionment Commission time and I think there's some hope that the other <br /> Commissioners at the County level would be able to piggyback on that or be granted that <br /> under emergency proclamation, and the delay of the census, these number of things that <br /> have pushed us back and have caused some difficulty for us here. We're crunched for the <br /> technical reasons, we're crunched because the data wasn't given to us, all these sorts of <br /> things but I still believe that the rest of the Commissioners, and myself, we want to aim <br /> for this deadline but are just looking for some sort of back up in case we need that <br /> additional time to meet with community members and massage these plans. <br /> MELLON-LACEY: I understand what you're asking. Isn't this on the floor as a motion, <br /> or am I incorrect? <br /> YOSHINA: That's correct. I call for a vote on the motion. <br /> 19 <br />
