the Plan we all walked away from here feeling good about. IÓm just saying that some of the <br />plans that have been submitted to us by the Elections Office at our direction seem pretty close; <br />but we just havenÓt found the one. So if we pick Plan_10, then Plan_10 may be the starting point <br />that we need to look at. I agree with Mike; we are going to have to take a plan that we all agree <br />with out to the people. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA <br />: ThatÓs true, however, I did not like Plan_10, and I believe t <br />like it either because of the whole thing about where Volcano is. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE: We need to take action on one plan at a time. We agreed that we would take <br />them off one at a time; either hold on to them or move them on; <br /> <br />MR. MIDDLESWORTH <br />: If you look at this plan, Plan_2, on your computer screen, look at the <br />Hilo area. When you talked earlier about all the Hawaiians Homes issues; this takes everything <br />south from the airport almost, and throws it in with Puna. What is your feeling about that? <br />MR. KAHAWAIOLAÒA <br />: As was expressed at the last meeting, I donÓt think that Hilo should be <br />in any part of Puna, and the reason I gave for that was there isrcurrent of Railroad <br />Avenue, which is Hawaiian Homelands, being used, or being planned to use by PMAR. That has <br />been expressed to us that is the bypass road they want to alleviate traffic out of Puna. That <br />would be a detriment to us, the Native Hawaiians that live along Railroad Avenue. And we <br />would be out voted; trust me, if any part of Puna gets into Hilo that way, if we go over into Puna. <br />That is one of the reasons that the boundaries were as such; Puna district started at Shipman and <br />we came around from Hilo One, which was the Wailuku, all the way over to PapaÓi, the bay that <br />is there. So I would be against that part of Hilo being in Puna, because it historically, has never <br />been there. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE: Can I suggest that we hold on to Map 2. Map 2 seems to do wh <br />talking about, from the Hawaiian Homes, and Railroad Avenue. So, I just suggest that we hold <br />on it; we donÓt have to make a decision on it at the moment. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Then we need a motion on Plan_2, before moving on to Plan_3; namely that <br />we hold on to it, and revisit it later. <br /> <br />Mr. Melrose moved to hold on to Plan_2 and <br />revisit it later. Seconded by Ms. Poindexter <br />and carried by the following vote: <br /> <br />Ayes: Commissioners Carvalho, KahawaiolaÒa, <br /> Kanuha, Melrose, Middlesworth, <br /> Poindexter, Ugalde, and Chair Siracusa. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioner Kahui. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />
