Home

PAULI: No, I just want to watch the meeting. I don't have testimony. ARACELEY: Okay, and just to clarify, you did register correctly for the Zoom credentials. PAULI: That's correct. I did just to observe. Thank you. ARACELEY: Okay, thank you for clarifying. Vice-Chair, it seems those are all the testifiers that you have in the Zoom room at this moment. HUSTACE: Thank you, Relley. We will give it some time if the public wants to join in and testify. We have a couple members of the public here maybe,possibly from this district, that would like to testify for this evening. And then we'll also give some time if others want to come in the door and testify. So we'll wait patiently until those are wanting to do so. Thank you. (Pause.) And just for clarity, we're going to wait about, as we did at our Hilo meeting on Monday, we'll give it to about 6:30 to see if members from the public will show up this evening. Thank you. Please note that during this time, Commissioners and support staffwere on stand-by. ANNOUNCEMENTS / CLOSING REMARKS HUSTACE: Okay, thank you for your patience. It is past 6:30 p.m. now. We don't have any other testifiers joining us this evening, so I'd like to make some closing announcements before we call it a night here. If you are interested in participating in the process and providing testimony to the Commission, you can follow the Commission and their work on the County website. We did have a full day today and we will have future public meetings, hearings, in the forthcoming weeks. If you'd like to request information, you can email the Commission at redistrictingcommission@hawaiicounty.gov. We do have some upcoming public hearings as I mentioned. Next week, our 3rd public hearing will be held in Council District 3, on Monday, October 18d' at 6:00 in the evening at the Hilo Municipal Golf Course Multi-Purpose Room. We will also be meeting with the public to give your testimony at the Pahoa District Park on Thursday, October 21",Pahoa District Park Community Center at 6:00 p.m., representing Council District 4. We are providing satellite sites for those in the public to attend and provide virtual testimony if they are unable to join us online. So, we encourage you and your family members and neighbors to provide testimony to the Commission during this time. We are in the process of drafting plans so we would appreciate input from the community. With that we will close tonight's meeting. Thank you for joining us. Aloha. 2
