X CHR. SIRACUSA: Even though it has two deviations that are a little bit on the high side, I think that is tweakable; I think we can work with that. I'm glad to see there are two Puna districts, I'm glad to see that Volcano is included. I am concerned about that east /west division, but I think all in all this is something that can go out to the public for comment. MR. MELROSE: How do we do on growth here? Say the growth districts of 4 and 5? One is high and one is low. District 8 is a growth district and it's a little high. District 7 is a little high. MR. KANUHA: Districts 1, 9, and 8 are pretty high. MR. MELROSE: This is a good example; you know District 3 is where the University votes got pulled out, so you can see why it went where it went. MS. POINDEXTER: And District 1 is now is all of Kohala. So if you look at the Districts, the numbers changed. If you look where they currently were, District 2is now in the Hamakua area, versus it was District 1. So the numbers have shifted. MR. KANUHA: I think it's a good plan to show to the public. I think District 1, 9 and 8 are a bit too high for my comfort, but it's still in the acceptable deviation and I think it should be shown to the public. MS. POINDEXTER: I think the Puna side is correct. I think the Puna people like this map, if I'm not mistaken. It's like us liking Plan_40 and them liking Plan_17. Maybe we can merge them. MR. MELROSE: We need at least one that has Volcano in a Puna district. Let's keep it. Mr. Kahui moved to keep Plan_ 17, and to have Plan_17 available for public hearings, Seconded by Ms. Poindexter and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Kahawaiola`a, Kahui, Kanuha, Melrose, Middlesworth, Poindexter, Ugalde and Chair Siracusa. Noes: None. Absent: Commissioner Carvalho. MR. KANUHA: Plan— 17 will be available at the Public Hearings Discussion on Plan_19 for Public Hearings CHR. SIRACUSA: In a lot of ways, at least from my side of the island, lines up very similar to the previous plan, including Volcano as a plus and an east /west division of Puna as a minus, and two Puna districts as a plus; however, there are five major areas where the deviations are way, NEOO
