APPROVAL OF MINUTES MR. KANUHA: Moving on; approval of the minutes of September 9, 2011. CHR. SIRACUSA: There were a few minor non - substantive typos and I mentioned them to Karen. So, she has them, and she will be making those corrections. MR. KANUHA: Ms. Siracusa, can we have a motion before we go through those corrections? Ms. Poindexter moved to approve the minutes of the September 23, 2011 Hawaii County Redistricting Commission. Seconded by Mr. Melrose. MR. KANUHA: Okay, now you can proceed. CHR. SIRACUSA: As I said, there were a few, minor, non - substantive typos that I noted. I already pointed them out to Karen and she will be making those corrections. I'm having a hard time hearing. MS. POINDEXTER: Can you ask them on your end if they can bring up your volume? CHR. SIRACUSA: It's the minutes of the last meeting that we are approving; that has to be reflected in the motion. MS. POINDEXTER: Okay, I'm going to take that motion back so we can re -state it. MR. MELROSE: I remove the second. Ms. Poindexter moved to approve the minutes of the September 9, 2011 Hawai` i County Redistricting Commission with corrections. Seconded by Mr. Melrose. MR. UDOVIC: If there are corrections to the minutes, I think it needs to be on the record. I don't think we can just do it blindly. The whole point of this is so it's an open meeting. So even if they are non - substantive typos, I think they should be listed. MR. MELROSE: If they are not substantive, is it important to you that we change them? MS. POINDEXTER: Are they just spelling errors, or is there some type of substance that is changing the interpretation of the minutes? CHR. SIRACUSA: They don't change the interpretation. That's why I said they were non - substantive. It's like "everybody" is written as two words instead of one word; it doesn't really change the meaning. 3
