floor over to you for a couple minutes and share your views and thoughts with the <br /> Commissioners. Mahalo. (Pause.) <br /> ARACELEY: Sorry, Chair, this is Relley. Just to clarify that we are actually in Building <br /> G at the West Hawaii Civic Center, not the Council Chamber. There is a note on the <br /> Council Chamber door to let them know that we are in Building G, which is right across <br /> the way. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you for that heads up. Yeah, the public noticed mentioned the <br /> Council Chambers, so I appreciate that update there. So, we look forward to hearing any <br /> members of the public that wish to give testimony. We will stay online here for about <br /> half an hour, as we did with our previous public hearings. So, I hope someone can join us <br /> and share a little mana`o with us. Mahalo. <br /> Please note that during this time, Commissioners and support staff were on stand-by. <br /> ARACELEY: State your name, the district you come from, and you can start. <br /> OBENSKL Ken Obenski, District 6, South Kona. I think the last redistricting done here <br /> was done pretty well. I see other places where redistricting is done very badly. Some <br /> places make efforts to fix that—Can I take this off so I'm not invisible? [Mr. Obenski <br /> removes his face mask.] The one thing that occurs to me that could be done to improve <br /> redistricting everywhere, is to have it done by a computer algorithm that could not have <br /> any internal biases. `Cause it would never know who's what. All it would know is how <br /> many people and how many square feet. I've written about that, and I still think it makes <br /> more sense. `Cause no matter how you pick a commission made out of human beings, <br /> they have inherent biases that can't be helped. That's all. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you, Mr. Obenski. Appreciate your testimony. <br /> ARACELEY: Chair, I just want to confirm that there is one person in the Zoom room <br /> who is not a commissioner, but they are just viewing the meeting. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you, Relley. <br /> Please note that during this time, Commissioners and support staff were on stand-by. <br /> HUSTACE: Okay. Relley,just checking in to see if anyone else has joined you there at <br /> the site? <br /> ARACELEY: Thank you, Chair. There is no one else here at the physical site. <br /> HUSTACE: Okay. Thank you for taking the time to set this up there, at the Civic Center <br /> in Kona, West Hawaii. <br /> 2 <br />
