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

Home

BATH: As District 5, I would like to adopt for District 5, what Mr. Hustace has, with the tweak to the Stainback Highway that I had previously discussed. And also, for District 4, the Kaloli Point inclusion. I think it was the census block that had two hundred (200) and something people in it, for now. KOSSOW: Okay. Motion's on the table. Is there a second? BATH: Oh, that wasn't a motion. That was just me. KOSSOW: Oh, I'm sorry. I was under the impression it was. BATH: No. It's just what I would like to do. I yield. KOSSOW: Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I think we'll just go back to the working draft that we currently have. HUSTACE: So, Chair, up on the screen is a working draft of the fifth iteration of our Working Doc 1.

With the suggestion from Commissioner Bath about Stainback, which is this section over here. If you can see that. It's aboveSo, the yellow hash line is the current as of today, and then this is the area up to Stainback. So, I will make those changes. (Pause while Vice Chair Hustace adjusted the map projected onto the screen.) KOSSOW: Thank you for joining us, Ms. Lui. Let the record show Ms. Lui is here. HUSTACE: Just to be clear, the tricky thing with the proposals here, Chair, this may not hold up with residents if they're coming down Kea`au Bypass Road. If they're already in District 3, they would be crossing over District 4 to get back into District 3. Does that make sense? If you're coming down the Pahoa Road, and if you wanted to get into these areas, you'd be crossing . I don't know. It's a point of contention because you'd be using a shared road between the districts. So, it could go either way. But, let me just add Ms. Bath's other suggestion for the Point out here.
