Plans #3 and #6 meet all of the above criteria except cuts off eastern rural portion of Waimea all the way to Kamamalu Street (with extraction: both of these would need to be reduced on south or southeasterly boundary by about 200 persons] 2. Plans that at least meet criteria 1 and 2: #11) #14) #i5) #16) #17 (Plan #17 cuts Waimea to Hamakua; Plans # 11, #14, #16 cut Puako to North Kona; Plan #1S cuts Waikoloa to North Kona) 3. Plans that don't even meet criteria 1 and 2: Therefore completely UNACCEPTABLE: - -Plan S and 12 split up North Kohala: Plan S: cuts -Hawi and Kapaau to Hamakua Plan 12 cuts North Kohala to Hamakua [with extraction numbers both plans are over permitted deviation by about 300) - -Plans 1, 4, 8, 9, 10 all split Waimea -town in half (e.g. along Mamalahoa Highway so that KTA in one District and Foodland in another) - -Plan 13 - Splits Waikoloa: (south and west of Puu Nui Street in North Kona District) NOTE: At the last Commission meeting, a Hilo -side commissioner suggested it is okay to divide up Waimea into different districts because its students are bused to other districts to attend school. As a Waimea resident, I disagree with that statement. C. EXTRACTION OR NO EXTRACTION: 1. Has the Redistricting Committee made motion to pay for extraction of the military and student numbers? (In other words has there been a committee motion and vote to approve payment for extraction in an amount under then amount that would trigger procurement process)? Has the Committee given these figures to esri (whoever doing extraction) or gotten State to give esri these extractions figures? THE POINT IS: No vote, no pay, no do, and in other words that means the committee's agenda is to say they will extract these numbers, but then say no time to do, so must leave them in (i.e. speak well intentioned and act otherwise) D. HILO AGENDA TO UNDERMINE PUNA'S RIGHT TO TWO SEATS: 1. All of the proposed plans giving Hilo three districts are unacceptable: There needs to be a Puna East District and a Puna West District (All Hilo proposals to cut off a portion of Puna to create a de facto third Hilo District should be discarded) 2. Downtown Hilo with airport and university should be one District and - rural mauka Hilo should be its second district.
