already mentioned, they definitely deserve that we be there when the public hearing part of this exercise begins. MR. CARVALHO: Can I say something from Waimea? CHR. SIRACUSA : Yes, please. MR. CARVALHO : Seeing this request, I am all for it. I think we have a duty to report what we know about Redistricting to our constituents. The only reservation I have is like Mr. Udovic says, if we would get into some kind of arguments with people, which we shouldnÓt even approach anything like that. As Commissioners, I believe that we should be educating the public as much as we can until we get to the public hearings. I have already had many comments from our Waimea people who are in District 1 and they want to be back in District 9. I am talking to people now; I hope itÓs not wrong. At least they have an ear to talk to and I think that is part of our duty as Commissioners. CHR. SIRACUSA : Thank you. MR. MIDDLESWORTH : Each of us represents a Council district and I would suggest that these requests be channeled to the Commissioner whose districts in which these meetings are being held and leave it up to them to decide whether they want to respond and do, as Joe says, do the right thing, or ignore them. CHR. SIRACUSA : I would tend to agree with that, I also feel that if we did some meetings and then stopped doing it, then the other people would say, ÐWhat about us, are we chopped liver, how come you did it for them but you wonÓt do it for us?Ñ So we need to have a level playing field for everybody. Having the Commissioner whose district the meeting is in agree to attend that meeting means one Commissioner, and that addresses the whole Sunshine Law issues, and it means that Commissioner is dealing with people in his own district and can respond most knowledgeably to the concerns that might be raised, and still not make any commitments to anything but let people know what the process is and clarify any misunderstandings. It is basically public education that we are talking about. Does everybody feel comfortable with a process like that? MR. MELROSE: I would tend to agree. I think when we get formal action, it shouldnÓt be a formal action of the Commission. My suggestion is that we get into the habit of channeling them to the people in those districts, because obviously there is an interest. If they are able to attend that meeting, then so be it. If not, then later on. If Joe is willing to go to the Kawaihae meeting, that is good. I agree with that. I would just add that part of this process is not just teaching, but listening. So, the question to ask is, ÐWhat concerns to you have? What are the things that I can help you understand better?Ñ The fact is, the numbers are going to dictate this process. This is not something we can just say, ÐThis is something that I am going to deliver for you guys.Ñ The numbers are going to tell us how to do that. It would be really good to go to that meeting with the web site and with some encouragement or some insight on how to do that software and show them how to go get information and go get involved. There were several people at that meeting; I think there were ten at that Resource meeting when I went to it last month. There were several 21
