KOSSOW: Questions and discussion. <br /> YOSHINA: Chair, this is Dwayne. <br /> KOSSOW: Mr. Yoshina. <br /> YOSHINA: I have a question. Because we have public comment about, I think from one <br /> person who said that Wainaku being in Council 2, this is the proposed plan. He was very <br /> happy with that. I'm okay with the idea of going back to Wailuku River, but I would also <br /> like to consider a little movement of that northward to include that person who said that <br /> they are happy to see that Wainaku was in Council 2 now. Because for the last <br /> reapportionment, he was in Hamakua, and he said he felt no connection with Hamakua. <br /> So, I'm not certain where that would be, but if we could maybe jog that line north a little <br /> bit, I could live with that. And the second question I have for Mr. Hustace is, if we go to <br /> Wailuku River, does that put all of Pi`ihonua into one district? That's all I have. I yield. <br /> HUSTACE: Sorry, Mr. Yoshina. Could you restate that question? Sorry, I lost the one <br /> word you said there. Which community? <br /> YOSHINA: Pi`ihonua. <br /> HUSTACE: Oh, Pi`ihonua. So, Pi`ihonua in the map, and I'll put it up on the screen here. <br /> Pi`ihonua is currently, like as of where our maps are now, is in Council 2, and this would <br /> maintain that. <br /> YOSHINA: Okay, but you know, Pi`ihonua has some people on the north side of <br /> Wailuku River, and some on the south side of the river. The reason I liked Honoli`i was <br /> that it included that whole area into Council 2. And we had comments on that, written <br /> andI don't know if they came to the public hearing, but we have written statements <br /> about keeping both Pi`ihonua together. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you, Mr. Yoshina. Yeah, this one, as I mentioned, this doesn't—it <br /> brought us back to the Wailuku River and it doesn't take into consideration the testimony <br /> received about Wainaku. This census block causes problems here though, unfortunately. <br /> YOSHINA: Yeah. I understand that, but if there's some way of including all of Pi`ihonua <br /> into one district, that would meet some of the requirements that I have. And by the way, <br /> that's the reason why I asked for movement of that boundary line. A little northward to <br /> maybe Wainaku Stream or Kaiwiki Stream or something like that. And I understand <br /> about the boundary lines, but the block boundaries. But if we did that, then I think I, you <br /> know, I would be in agreement. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you, Mr. Yoshina. Like I said, this map isn't perfect for me either. So, <br /> I'm going to jump to—I forgot to talk about where the boundary is for 1 and 9. Yeah, this <br /> doesn't take into consideration that part of Pi`ihonua. And I would like to see some <br /> 8 <br />
