take people from one district and put them into another one. So, I'd like to have that <br /> discussion on what the obstacles of doing that might be. <br /> LUL Chair Kossow? <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Bath, are you ? <br /> BATH: I yield, yeah. <br /> KOSSOW: Okay, thank you. Ms. Lui. <br /> LUL Well, I think that for most of District 1, most of District 1 is quite rural and <br /> agricultural. So that, people in Hilo don't necessarily have the same overriding interests <br /> that people in most of the rest of the district have. Also, because they get their services <br /> from Hilo, any issues relating to those kinds of things, whether it be infrastructure issues, <br /> or service issues, it would be their interests would align more with Hilo town. So, that's <br /> the problem. So, looking for the areas of least population in Hilo would be my way to go. <br /> Does that answer your question? <br /> BATH: Yeah, it answered it. I was just trying to understand `cause I also, when I was <br /> playing around with the maps, used that as a boundary line. But there are some problems <br /> with that apparently with community or historically? <br /> LUL Right. Well, I mean some of the things along there are the Hilo Medical Center and <br /> the, I don't know if they are State parks, but Boiling Pots and Rainbow Falls are there. <br /> So, that's a little bit different than just Hilo town too. Yeah, it's not all that residential. <br /> YOSHINA: Chair Kossow, this is Dwayne. <br /> KOSSOW: Mr. Yoshina. <br /> YOSHINA: My thoughts about this is that, and it goes probably contrary to what <br /> Stephanie just said. Historically and traditionally, the line used to be on Wailuku River, <br /> yeah. And so, my other thought on this is that, for Council District 1, if you're talking <br /> about a rural lifestyle,perhaps not coming south, but going north would be more logical. <br /> And I know that there are two council districts going, well if you considered Council 1, <br /> you also have Council 9, which are two council districts which appear to want to move <br /> that boundary south. But perhaps you could think about moving that boundary for District <br /> 1, north into Waimea. That's my thoughts. Thank you. <br /> KOSSOW: Alright, any other discussion regarding Ms. Ford's map before we move on? <br /> We have a lot more maps to go through. <br /> BATH: Commissioner Bath. <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Bath. <br /> 15 <br />
