Hustace suggested he followed is a good plan to follow. I don't know if that's clarifying <br /> but that's what I'm doing. Thank you. I yield. <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Lui. <br /> LUL First of all, I really thank James and hope that maybe you could be at the training <br /> meeting given your background in GIS, that could be very helpful to us. It seemed like <br /> you were saying there were two different approaches. One is this incremental approach <br /> where you tinker at the boundaries, but another is a more radical rethinking of the <br /> boundaries and that's why I was kind of trying to think about Hilo. My district, Council <br /> 1, extends into Hilo but people there I'm sure identify with Hilo as a community of <br /> interest, also extend up into Waimea a bit, but yet I have to expand my boundaries. And <br /> as you said, to the west of District 1, it's pretty empty so I can't really go that way. I just <br /> think there's a lot for all of us to talk through. <br /> KOSSOW: Mr. Yoshina, you had a question for Mr. Lopez. Mr. Lopez, are you ready to <br /> answer that question? And Mr. Yoshina, would you be able to re-ask that question. <br /> LOPEZ: If I understood the question, yes, I'm ready. Let's see if I got it. <br /> YOSHINA: I'm having a senior moment. Can you remind me what that was about? <br /> LOPEZ: I think you were asking me about my percent deviations. <br /> YOSHINA: Oh yeah, yeah. Okay. Thank you. <br /> LOPEZ: Is that it? So, I can answer that? <br /> YOSHINA: That's my question. <br /> LOPEZ: Alright. In looking down the distribution on the ESRI map here, in Council 1, <br /> I've got a 0.2 percent deviation or 45 people. In Council 2, I've got a minus 1.43. Council <br /> 3, I have a minus 0.71, and in 4 I have a 1.0. <br /> YOSHINA: Okay, that's good for me. Thank you. <br /> LOPEZ: Thank you. Now my approach, if I can continue that comment, my approach <br /> was, first I wanted to see if I could get some kind of a reasonable deviation from district <br /> to district, island wide. Based on what Ms. Saiki said this morning, I think I'm there. My <br /> next attempt, because I don't know if I'm dividing a neighborhood in downtown Hilo, I <br /> have no clue. So my next attempt was to go in and zoom in to try to find out, based on <br /> what I'm seeing here, am I doing a radical change within a particular geographic <br /> neighborhood. That's what I'll be doing next. Then the overriding concern, or rather <br /> additional concern I have, is the comments we had at the last meeting, about the size of <br /> District 6 and how we were asked to shift some populations so that it wasn't so huge for <br /> 26 <br />
