<br />COMM. 32: UPDATE ON STATUS OF ESRI SOFTWARE, AND HELP RESOURCES
<br />From Commission Chair, René Siracusa, dated August 17, 2011, regarding update on
<br />status of Esri software and help resources.
<br />
<br />CHR. SIRACUSA
<br />: This includes 32.1, which is a memo from County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi.
<br />Do you want to come up? Also, at this time I will ask for a motion to close file.
<br />
<br />Mr. Middlesworth moved to close file on
<br />COMM. 32. Seconded by Mr. Melrose.
<br />
<br />JAMAE K. K. KAWAUCHI
<br />(At this time Jamae K. Kawauchi, County Clerk, came forward to address members of the Commission.)
<br />
<br />MS. KAWAUCHI
<br />: Jamae Kawauchi, County Clerk. I spoke with Royce Jones, the HawaiÒi
<br />Pacific Islands Regional Manager for Esri, and I understand that the population extractions that
<br />you have requested to be performed, will be performed in two steps. The final completion date
<br />for both steps would be September 6, 2011. The first step, which is to extract numbers by
<br />block is going to be completed by August 29, 2011, which is next week, Monday. The second
<br />step would be to load the numbers into the software. They had hoped to complete this part of
<br />the process by September 2, 2011, but no later than September 6, 2001. I asked if that was a
<br />firm date, and Mr. Jones indicated, ÐYes.Ñ So that is all the information that I have concerning
<br />the extractions, at this point.
<br />
<br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Do any Commissioners have any questions? Jeff.
<br />MR. MELROSE: I would say, that addresses Ms. WilleÓs concern. ThatÓs what she raised,
<br />was that we now have dates for that, specifically. It has been done, Margaret, so unfortunately
<br />it still bumps up against our dates a bit, so we might have to consider what that means for us. I
<br />guess maybe at our next meeting, we should decide what to do with that, when we actually get
<br />the numbers; whether we have to make any kind of adjustment to our delivery date.
<br />
<br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Actually, to some extent, we are being proactive about it by looking at the
<br />next agenda item, which is the Future Growth Projections, and trying to keep the Hilo numbers
<br />a little bit on the high side until that happens; so that once we extract the students, then it will
<br />come down to line up just right, hopefully, or close to right. We are also, talking about letting
<br />the people who have submitted plans already, be aware that there will be some changes in the
<br />numbers, and give them a heads up so if they want to jump the gun and be prepared to make
<br />some adjustments in their submissions, they can do so.
<br />
<br />MS. KAWAUCHI: I recall that at your last meeting, the Commissioners did vote to inform
<br />any one who had submitted a plan that once the extractions are c
<br />additional opportunity to make changes, but your deadline for submission of plans is still
<br />September 15, 2011. If Esri is able to stay with their timeline, then you could be informing
