2021-12-17 Redistricting Commission minutes (10th Session)

Home

HUSTACE: I welcome any thoughts on a title. LOPEZ: Yeah, okay. Thank you. So, we'll save whatever work we do here. Okay. KOSSOW: I think let's start with the border between District 3 and 5, based on the conversations that we've had yesterday and the public that came out. If Ms. Ah Nee is available, maybe if you can give us clear guidance of what you want to see for this map to ensure that's the deviation and how far back Pana`ewa could go. AH NEE: Aloha, Chair, Commissioner Ah Nee. KOSSOW: Ms. Ah Nee, go ahead. Thank you. AH NEE: Mahalo again for allowing me to participate in this redistricting. I do see the concerns of the district that I preside in. And I thinkI'm very thankful that we have had people who come testify and actually come with solutions. `Cause a lot of times being the youngest and the newest to the table as a commissioner, there's still a lot that I had to learn. So, I think one of the solutions that was offered, that we may be able to kind of put into practice right now, is moving that Pana`ewa boundary out to where the Shipman - Mac Nut Road is and try to see where those numbers lie. HUSTACE: Chair, is it permissible for me to make these changes? KOSSOW: Go ahead, yeah. Thank you. HUSTACE: Okay. So, this is Macadamia Road here. Unfortunately, there's a census block on the ocean that is monstrous but. So, we can make that switch there. There's also a clear line at Kea`au Road too, if that's a possibility. But we can always go back. So, there's the changes there at Macadamia Road, and putting Pana`ewa in one contiguous group there. KOSSOW: Can you read off the deviation? HUSTACE: So, currently, this is off of the proposed draft plan, made those changes. So, Council 3 is 7.96 percent over. So, that's a positive gain of one thousand seven hundred and seventy (1,770). It's neighboring community Council 5 is negative 3.65. Which is negative eight hundred and twelve (812) individuals. KOSSOW: Ms. Ah Nee, do you have any other comments for this? For District 3? FORD: Mr. Chairman, may I just interrupt for a second? We have a problem. The screen that you're showing and working on right now, is one and a half by two inches on my screen. Is there some reason that it is not expanded fully? 18
