I just sent you a link to unmute if you are there. Could you please click that to unmute your microphone? (No response.) KOSSOW: It's okay, Relley. We can come back to them if they solve that issue. ARACELEY: Thank you, Chair. KOSSOW: I think the main reason why I want the Elections Office was to just kind of discuss about the final report and the final draft plan. So, we can always come back to that. Mr. Hustace, if you can just go ahead and pull up the 1-5. And then we can—Based off of everybody's, all the Commissioners understanding of their map, I think we can just take—Or you actually had some drafts in there proposals too, right? HUSTACE: That's correct, Chair. There was some. KOSSOW: Did you want to take the floor just to talk about those for a second? HUSTACE: Sure. KOSSOW: And then we'll go ahead and see if the Commission wants to change it for consideration. Thank you. HUSTACE: Perfect. Thank you, Chair. Really the only—and I'll just flip back and forth here between the proposed ideasAs, I mentioned there are a couple here along the Waimea border. So, this is the proposal map here.

But it's to shift and balance that population out a little bit, between the two districts here. Because I was concerned about the HPP area, and the connectivity. And there's this monstrous block that you're all familiar with out here. This is our map that we tabled. But I tried to switch it a little bit so that the back portion, this large block here, remains in HPP. This one here that cannot be divided up into smaller segments like its neighboring parcels for some reason. I'm not sure why that was drawn that way. But most of HPP has smaller sections, except for some of the ones a little further south. But I was thinking about the connectivity.
