MR. MELROSE : There may be an affordable housing project there that was originally done by the unions. MS. POINDEXTER: I thought they were across that road. What road is that? MR. MELROSE : Puamalia Street. Can you just put an image on to that, Shyla? : That is an apartment complex area right there. ItÓs a low income area. MS. POINDEXTER MR. MELROSE: Is Puako in District 9, now? MR. CARVALHO : IÓm pretty sure it is. MR. MELROSE: By count, there is not that much population in the town itself. You can actually move that in. Generally, on the west side, I donÓt see a real problem with this one; and on the east side I think you can move some boundaries around a little bit to maybe right this one. The Hmkua District is a little high, and it needs to be a little high, but not that high. And District 2 needs to go higher as well, because of the school. But interesting, this same pattern is repeated almost exactly in Plan 15 and 16. CHR. SIRACUSA : LetÓs move over to the right. MR. MELROSE : Put a photo on that one to see whatÓs on the other side of Shower Drive. MS. POINDEXTER : Do we want to make a motion to keep this map? MR. MELROSE: If we were going to keep something like this, I would want to re-number the Districts, so that District 3 would be the Keaukaha area and 4 and 5 being the Puna seat. They are kind of juxtaposed there. ThatÓs a small issue for later. MR. MELROSE: Just a clarification. If we are going to hold on to these, will we come back to them to amend them, or do we want to suggest some amendments and Elections? This is an alternate plan, and we have to do something about it, accept it or--- CHR. SIRACUSA: Well, any acceptance is temporary, but I think eliminations are eliminations. Mr. Melrose moved to keep Plan_10. Seconded by Mr. Carvalho and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Carvalho, KahawaiolaÒa, Kanuha, Melrose, Middlesworth, Poindexter, Ugalde, and Chair Siracusa. Noes: None. Absent: Commissioner Kahui. 30
