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

Home

border along 130, really is not really the upper Puna that I was concerned about's voice. It's almost like a middle Puna. And so, there's some flexibility down here. You know, tweaking in this area. I wish commissioner from District 4 was here. What are you suggesting doing? LUL Just moving a little bit more of 4 into 5 because of the numbers. If you take a little bit more of HPP right there, where the arrow is now, for example. BATH: So, I wouldn't move any of 4 into 5. `Cause then their voice is going to be in three areas instead of two. The only reason those four census blocks, that are kind of in District 5 are with District 4, is because those four blocks are actually HPP. And so, their voice is with HPP. I wouldn't move—There's really nothing more to move into District 5. I mean, what were you looking at? I'm not clear on what you . LUL Well,just that 4 was over, but now it's 3, so. BATH: I'm just trying to keep in mind connectivity here, right now. What are our numbers now? HUSTACE: Three (3) is at 7.87, and 4 is at 4.95. So, somehow need to unload a little bit from Council 3. BATH: What are the population numbers that go with that? HUSTACE: Council 3 is at 7.87 positive, which is one thousand seven hundred and forty-nine (1,749). And Council 4 is 4.59 positive,which is one thousand and twenty (1,020). LUL So, 4 can be okay the way it is. Three's (3's) got to shift, and there's no room to shift into 2. HUSTACE: Just a little bit. So, on the proposed map I had earlier, that's why I had moved the border back down to Wailuku. So that, 2 could take more of 3, and really smooth the numbers out. I know I was trying to keep Pi`ihonua together. LUL Yeah. BATH: Chair, what is five (5)? What are the numbers on 5 now? HUSTACE: Commissioner Bath, 5 is 3.71 percent positive, which is eight hundred and twenty-five (825). BATH: Give me a minute here. We might be able to take some out of 3. LUL When I look at Council 6 though, aye yai yai. 33
