MS. POINDEXTER: I like the idea of what we did on District 1, 9, 8 and 7. I know that the Puna side wasn't done the way Rene would like. I think on Plan _17 and Plan-28, we could move some of the things on Plan _17 and Plan-28 that they like into that section, if we could merge into her side what they like. I think they like a lot where Volcano was in Plan _17. They liked how that area was done. Is there any way that we could tweak Plan_40 to include some of what Plan_17 looks like in the Puna area? Do you agree with me, Rene and Linda? CHR. SIRACUSA: The big issues for Puna - -and there are three of them - -is that Volcano should be part of Puna. It is part of the Puna Community Development Plan. You folks are concerned about the Kohala Community Development Plan, we are too. We want two districts for Puna and they should not be divided east to west, because that is not the way things work in Puna. It creates a lot of road connectivity problems. With those three things, we are open to a lot of variations. MR. MELROSE: The top of District 2, you could fill in that block and make it all part of District 2 and not change the votes; so add that to District 2 so that it doesn't look like District 1 comes all the way out into Waiakea. Frankly, I don't think you will find any votes in that area. Just go right above Kaumana City; I think there is one more click in there that would be good. Between Districts 3 and 6, go a little farther in that direction. That makes sense; it meets my concerns, generally, on that topic. This is one of those places where the numbers are inconsistent. Is it possible to re number this one consistently, so we have a clockwise count; District 1, 2, and then District 3 would be the Keaukaha area. Can you adjust the numbers so it goes clockwise? Is it alright with the Commission if we adjust those district numbers so they go in a clockwise direction? What are the strong points of this map that make it different than the other maps? MS. POINDEXTER: I thought it was because Council District 9 kept all of Puako, Waikoloa area. I think the top half of the island looked good, it was the bottom half that Puna, Volcano and everybody needed to work on. On Plan_ 17, the bottom looked good, that's why I said to try to merge them both. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: Can we move the boundary of District 3 more into District 6. In other words include try to see about getting Mountain View back into District 3. Let's see what happens to the numbers if she does that. Not good, not good at all. CHR. SIRACUSA: Can you close out the statistics box, so we can see the map? You have got Paradise Park split in half here, and Council District 3 is over. So I would suggest that we move the rest of Paradise Park into Council District 5 and then take District 3 up towards Volcano. Orchidland and Hawaiian Acres can go into District 3. Now get Eden Rock into District 3. How do the numbers look now? MR. KANUHA: I don't know if this is the direction we want to go now, in going this route. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: District 5 is too big, District 3 is too small. MS. UGALDE: It might be easier to take Plan_17 and adjust the top. 41
