MS. KAWAUCHI: So I think then, at the break, if they wanted to stay. IÓm not sure how long your meeting is going to last, but we do have a laptop here where we can show people how to use the software. So if they wanted to stay until that time, we could do that. Otherwise, we could schedule an appointment and we can have staff available. CHR. SIRACUSA : Did you hear that, Patrice? You are saying there are dead spots? PATRICE McDONALD : Puna is really different, and the mauka subdivisions are heavy native forest. They donÓt have accessibility to wi fi. We are lucky if we get 3G. Having to use the iPad or the 3G wireless stuff does not let us access your documents. We went through this for seven years with the CDP, of not being able to access documents. I donÓt understand what it is. It is so simple to print out hard copies for the districts that are not available to the software. MR. KAHUI: Could she state her name for the record? PATRICE McDONALD : IÓm Patrice McDonald, I was asked to represent communities in Puna. JO JO TANIMOTO : IÓm Jo Jo Tanimoto. My problem was I got all the way down to ÐChoose Plan,Ñ then I had all these Plans and they wouldnÓt open for me. So I guess thatÓs where I am. And since IÓm doing it from home, and home is on the other side of the island, and you are saying the Clerk is over here and she doesnÓt know what time you are going to be done. I was wondering if there is some way I can go find out now, so that the rest of your meeting, I really cannot participate in because I canÓt figure this part out. CHR. SIRACUSA : Jamae is coming up. MS. KAWAUCHI: Jamae Kawauchi, County Clerk. We do have an Office of Elections in Kona. It is located at the West HawaiÒi Civic Center, and we are happy to give you the address. I understand that our staff person there has been trained on the software. Our staff person located at that office has been trained on the software and we can set an appointment up for you to show you the system. JO JO TANIMOTO: So if I make the appointment by telephone, because itÓs 40 mi so IÓm trying to save $4.44 a gallon for gas. MR. CARVALHO: Excuse me. If itÓs okay, I can make a house call. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. What I have found, also, is that sometimes it will jam up on me in the middle of something. Then I go out, and when I come back in again it is okay. So I donÓt know if you have tried that, but sometimes that works. MR. CARVALHO: You know, this is not only Jo JoÓs problem. This is the whol we have only three weeks; September 1, 2011 is the deadline. So we need to somehow publicize it that commissioners can help if necessary. 12
