COMMUNICATIONS <br /> <br />COMM. 15: COSTS FOR CENSUS BLOCK MAPS <br />Memo from Elections Program Administrator, Patricia Nakamoto, dated June 8, 2011, <br />regarding the costs for Census Block Maps. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Do I have a motion to close file on COMM. 15? <br /> <br />Mr. Melrose moved to close file on <br />COMM. 15. Seconded by Ms. Poindexter. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Is there any discussion? <br />MR. KAHAWAIOLAÒA <br />: Madam Chair, I have something I would like to discuss that is based <br /> on Mr. BiddlemanÓs opening statements. I would like to know if the copies could be PDF and is <br /> that an added cost? <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA <br />: Patricia, please come forward. <br /> <br />PATRICIA NAKAMOTO <br />(At this time Pat Nakamoto, Elections Supervisor came forward to address members of the Commission.) <br /> <br />MS. NAKAMOTO <br />: The Census Maps that we are talking about in this Communication are <br />already available on the County web site in PDF. <br /> <br />MR. KAHAWAIOLAÒA: I am going to have to say that I think could this copy also be in PDF? <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: The question that Mr. Bidleman raised is that this is not a clear copy. In <br />the future, these copies could either be sent to us directly from the computer that produced it, as <br />a WORD doc or a PDF. But the scanned version is obviously not the greatest scanner in the <br />world and it comes through pretty fuzzy. <br /> <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: I think what I will do in the future is fax it over to Karen with my <br />signature. If I email it, it wonÓt have my signature. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Okay, thank you. The substantive issue in this communication is the <br />Census Block Maps. You have found out for us how much it would cost for us to get them <br />done both in house and farming it out. <br />MR. MELROSE: I made the request that we get the numbers because Ms. Ford h <br />several times that maybe we should use those tools. My suggestion is that we take the number <br />and we keep it under advisement; we donÓt go buy them today. Le <br />what we need and whether or not we need physical maps. Frankly, I can see some value in it, <br />but I donÓt think right now. Until we figure out how we are going to do this, we donÓt need to <br />7 <br /> <br />
