MS. POINDEXTER: Could we, say, make little changes on this on and then save it as Plan _40`? Why don't we work on this a little and save it as Plan_40, so we would still have all that concept in here. CHR. SIRACUSA: This map has only one district for Puna. MR. MELROSE: There are two. CHR. SIRACUSA: Panaewa and Keaukaha, Hawaiian Homelands are in two different districts. Paradise Park is divided from Kea' au to Mountain View and half of Paradise Park have been sent off to Hilo and Volcano is in Ka`u. So, whether or not this came in on time or not, I would certainly want to move to reject it. I do want to thank Margaret for admitting that she doesn't know the Puna area, because that is definitely reflected in this map. MS. POINDEXTER: But would you be willing to work on this? You could make some changes right now on the map with what you are saying that doesn't look right, and have them do it right now in front of us and see what the deviations would be. Then, we could save it as another map. We could reject it, and save it as another map. But, would you want to try to see what kind of work you could do in this area right now? MR. KANUHA: Personally, for me, I want to keep on looking at this map to see if we want to reject it or not. Yes, Rene, you did have some issues with Puna, but I wanted to look around the whole island to see what issues I have with some of the other districts before we make a motion to accept or reject. MR. MELROSE: I would also like to suggest that you look more closely at the map in the area that you just said, because there are two votes in the Puna district. There is no overlap from the Hilo district into the Puna district. There is the kind of move from District 6 in, but there are two clear and entire Puna districts and no incursion from the other side. Those were part of your rationale, but I don't think that it is true if you look at the map more closely. MR. KAHUI: We were going to look at these maps without doing much amending, either to accept it for now and then we can go back on our own and review this without taking much of the public and commission time. I, for one, when looking at this map, I'm alright with it. Then I think in our own investigations, when we review this map, like all the others that we have saved, we can go in and extrapolate what you want out of it. MS. POINDEXTER: I don't think we can save this map because of when it was submitted. That is why I was saying, can we make a little change to it, and I was going to suggest that Rene start making some change so we could save it as Plan _40. We could reject Plan _3 9 and we could save it as Plan_40, so we would still save some of the concepts that we said we wanted to keep in there. MR. KAHUI: I can agree to that. 33
