2021-10-14 Redistricting Commission minutes (5th Session)

Home

KAUKA: Thank you. New business item number: 3. Review of Alternate Plans submitted. The Commission may review, discuss, and consider any alternate redistricting plans received from the public pursuant to Hawaii County Code Chapter 36, Article 5. HUSTACE: Thank you, Mr. Kauka. We do possibly have some testimony on this as well. The reason this is under new business, and this will probably be an ongoing thing where we review alternate plans that are submitted. The deadline for the public was today. So, the plans that we receive from the public is what we've received. I do have some technical issues for Elections Office staff but otherwise I'd like to spend some time here looking at these documents. Commissioners, if you're in your application program with the redistricting effort, there is a folder that we should all have access to called Shared Plans. So, when you open a plan, you can select to share either one of your recent plans or ones that you've saved and created or Shared Plans. The question that, I think Mr. Lopez, you had a question about this? LOPEZ: Well, I have been trying to find Ms. Ford's plans for some time, and finally, asking a question today, I personally do not have that County of Hawaii tab under my Shared Plans, so I do not see any of these. HUSTACE: Thank you, Mr. Lopez. Are there any other Commissioners not seeing this folder under their Shared Plans? BATH: Bath. I'm trying to get out of a Create a Plan into where the option to be able to see all of the plans. LUL You go to File. BATH: You go to File? HUSTACE: I think regardless of if you're in a plan, I think you should be able to open a new one on top of it without—it may give you an error saying, hey do you want to save the work you've been doing? And you can cancel through that. As you probably see up on the screen there, that's being projected for us, I think Mr. Lopez is having some technical issues with the Shared Plans folder. I don't know if he is attached to that folder, if he's been included. So, I want to make sure that all of the Commissioners are a part of that. Is that a possibility? Do we know if all the Commissioners have access to this? LUL Could you say that again? Which one? HUSTACE: This is the Shared Plans. So, if you open up these are the plans that have been submitted byso, Chair Kossow submitted one, and Ms. Ford submitted three, that have been submitted to the Commission. They're sent in, Mr. Jones then shares them, puts them into this folder, and that's how we have access to them. So, I would likeI'm just checking to see if all the Commissioners have this folder. 28
