COMM. 34: CONVENING A REDISTRICTING COMMISSION MEETING IN KONA From Commission Secretary, Karen Eoff, dated August 17, 2011, in response to request from Commissioners to investigate possible dates and costs associated with convening a regular Commission meeting at the West HawaiÒi Civic Center in Kona. COMM. 34.1: From Out of the Sea Media providing an estimate regarding technical support for a meeting at the West HawaiÒi Civic Center. Ms. Poindexter moved to close file on COMM. 34. Seconded by Mr. Melrose. CHR. SIRACUSA: Jeff Haun from Out of the Sea Media is here, so IÓm going to ask him to come up in case any of the Commissioners want to ask him a question. Thank you. Karen. MS. EOFF : So you have the communication from Jeff, and he can explain that if you have any questions, but before we go to that; I brought the calendar for September, and there arenÓt that many open dates for the Civic Center. The ones that we can consider would be--the most ideal ndrd would be--September 22 or September 23, Thursday or Friday following a set of Council and Committee meetings in Kona. So Jeff will be there; he will have all the equipment set up for nd those two Council meeting dates. So if we follow that, either on Thursday the 22 or Friday the rd 23 we would be in good shape. That would also be the last meeting that we have before going to public hearings. I am told by Pat Nakamoto that following our last meeting before public hearings, we need some time to let the Department of Information Technology produce some of the large maps of the plans that we decide to take out. We would like to bring 24Ñ x 36Ñ maps with us, and they need a little bit of time to do that. I think that eliminates any chance of having a meeting in the last week of September. So we need to do it in that second to the last week. If we do that, then, two weeks before that brings us to the second week of September and the th available date for our meeting would be to consider is Friday the 9. We cannot meet on th Thursday the 8 because County Council has a meeting that day in here. So, looking at this thndrd calendar, the 9 of September and the 22 and 23 would be the best. CHR. SIRACUSA: But September 9, 2011, we are not looking at Kona. MS. EOFF: Right, September 9, 2011, we would be meeting in Hilo. ndrd CHR. SIRACUSA: We are looking at the 22 or the 23 of September for Kona. Commissioners, how does that work with your schedules and do you have any questions for Karen? MR. CARVALHO: For my schedule, September 9, 2011 is bad for me. We happen to have a thrdnd 50 year class reunion starting that day. And, the 23 IÓll be in Honolulu. So, the 22 would be best for me. 7
