CHR. SIRACUSA: We have now completed all of the Elections Office submitted Plans. The next step is we look at previously submitted Plans 6 through 11. Review and Discuss Plan_6 CHR. SIRACUSA : Okay, this is Plan_6. We looked at Plans 6 through 11 and discussed them to some extent, but we didnÓt make any decisions. My note on this one is that several subdivisions are split in this one, and Volcano is in District 6. Certainly Paradise Park is divided. A good part of Paradise Park is in the next district over. MR. MELROSE : Can we look at the boundary between Districts 2, 3 and 4? You know, these districts are going to have to blend; there is no way they donÓt. They are going to have to blend at some level. CHR. SIRACUSA : Downtown is divided. MR. MELROSE: ThatÓs about where it is today. MS. POINDEXTER: Even in that corner by the oceanfront. MR. MELROSE : ThatÓs a little different, but thatÓs about where the line is today, itÓs just the other side of the river, out a ways, maybe not as far as Honolii. CHR. SIRACUSA : There are some very strange lines there between District 1 and 2. MR. MELROSE: You can blame that on the census blocks, and that could be cl think you are just talking about very oddly shaped districts; this one has an odd Waimea district. CHR. SIRACUSA: Did you want to see Waimea? This has Waimea in Hmkua. MR. KANUHA: I donÓt like that split. Can we see Kona real fast? I personally didnÓt like how District 9 maneuvers in and out and comes towards Mahaiula and then comes back around and goes down. It takes half of Kaloko, and I canÓt see that happening. Mr. Kanuha moved to eliminate Plan_6. Seconded by Ms. Poindexter and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Carvalho, KahawaiolaÒa, Kanuha, Melrose, Middlesworth, Poindexter, Ugalde, and Chair Siracusa. Noes: None. Absent: Commissioner Kahui. 26
