with color blindness issues, it would just really help to differentiate, if you would please consider that. Mahalo. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (part 3) KOSSOW: Any other discussion regarding this draft? (No response.) Alright. So, I just kind of want to summarize. So that way when I work on this, I can make the correct decisions on redrawing this map. Also, we could do the redrawing now if we would want to. But for Council District 4, we want to include the four census blocks from Council District 5 inside that part of HPP. And then have it go four or five census blocks down to make sure that the deviation is correct. We're going to have to make a hard decision on Pu`u Kapu, between District 1 and District 9.

I agree with you, Commissioner Lui, about coming together and figuring out one map. I really appreciate that, and I want to do that. But I also want to present the community an option to look at some different things as well. Thank you. LUL Thank you. That does make sense. I agree with that as well. However, I don't know if we're still trying to get done. Actually,just looking at our time frame, we're really 27
