Review and Discuss Plan_8 <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA <br />: This is the one. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE: Can I just move to reject this one? <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA <br />: You have to say why. <br /> <br />: Based on the splitting of the district in Puna, the Council 1 picking up Kona <br />MR. MELROSE <br />district. This is a fairly blatant---You know, the numbers are right, but again, it shows you <br />you can come up with anything with numbers that work. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA <br />: We have two split districts here. <br />Mr. Melrose moved to eliminate Plan_8. <br />Seconded by Mr. Kanuha and carried <br />by the following vote: <br />Ayes: Commissioners Carvalho, KahawaiolaÒa, <br /> Kanuha, Melrose, Middlesworth, <br /> Poindexter, Ugalde, and Chair Siracusa. <br />Noes: None. <br />Absent: Commissioner Kahui. <br />Review and Discuss Plan_9 <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Plan_9, I have a note that this one is almost the same as Plan_11. It was <br />good for Kailua but not for Waimea; that is what we were saying last time when we looked at it. <br />MR. CARVALHO: This is District 8 with a finger going up the middle. ItÓs like stealing <br />Waimea. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Commissioners, your comments, please, on the record with your mic on. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE: The Hmkua District, if you just take that as a boundary, and the boundary is <br />that all of Hmkua stays in Hmkua; what it does is it forces it across the Hilo Bay to <br />Kaumana. So, you are either going to split the middle of Hilo town up Kaumana Drive and put <br />that in the Hmkua District, or you are going to take---And the Kaumana guys have nothing to <br />do with the Hmkua District, whereas the Lake Land area is more Hmkua than the other side. <br />So it is just another example of the difficulty of drawing one, you impact another. <br /> <br />MS. POINDEXTER: I agree that the similarities for Lake Land, have more in common with <br />people in Hmkua than Kaumana. <br />28 <br /> <br />
