interest because they all generate towards Kona to go to Costco and that sort of thing; whereas <br />the other way around, between Volcano and Pahala you have got thousands and thousands of <br />acres of wilderness, and there is no contiguity and there is certainly no community of interest. <br />That is why I would like to try, as two starting points, from the Volcano border on each side, an <br />work our way around and see what happens with the numbers that w <br /> <br />Does any body else have any other ideas that they want to throw out on the table. And Patrick, <br />by the way, I am still looking at numbers. IÓm just thinking th <br />of one of those criteria, or two of those criteria; the community of interest criteria, and the <br />contiguity criteria. So--- <br /> <br />MR. KANUHA: Madam, Chair. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Yes. <br /> <br />MR. KANUHA: From Kona, Commissioner Kahui just showed up. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Welcome, welcome. We are almost at the end; you will have to wait for the <br />transcript to find out happened. This is going to go back to where we were talking about the <br />benefits of a transcript as opposed to just minutes. But, welcome anyway. Did you want to <br />throw some ideas onto the table? Please. <br /> <br />MR. KAHUI: Well, I first want to apologize to the Commission. I made a commitment to be <br />here and serve as a Commissioner for our District 8 and I know t <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: IÓm sorry; IÓm having trouble hearing you. Could you get closer in to the <br />mic? Or use the other mic? <br /> <br />MR. KAHUI: Can you hear me now? <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Yes, thatÓs better now. <br /> <br />MR. KAHUI: I any event, again, I do want to apologize to this Commission for being late. <br />Unfortunately I had a prior commitment and at the time when we voted to have this meeting I <br />had realized the conflict. With that said, I have read all of the Communications; I donÓt have any <br />further comments. I am looking forward to the starting points. If you are recommending that we <br />proceed going from the Southern end north on both sides, IÓm agreeable with that. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. And we did know in advance that you had a conflict and that <br />you would be late, so there is no need to apologize. Does any body else have anything to <br />contribute to the discussion on geographical starting points? If not, then I think what is in order <br />would be a motion to adjourn. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE: No, there is a motion on the floor for your Communication that needs to be <br />accepted. We have had our discussion. <br /> <br />35 <br /> <br />
