and have taken on shared indebtedness, bond indebtedness for road repair; just like any <br />incorporated company or town might do. That is what it means. They have shared interest, <br />shared ownership, shared indebtedness and acts as if they have actual shared interest. <br />MR. MELROSE: One last question; and I appreciate that distinction. Is there a way for us to <br />understand --I mean there are many subdivisions, and I'm not asking to provide it right now - -if <br />you are saying that all incorporated subdivisions need to be kept together, is there a list of <br />subdivisions that are incorporated that we ought to keep that in our minds. There are some hard <br />lines to draw, so if we can make a difference about that, is there a source that can help us <br />understand what you would call an incorporated subdivision? <br />MR. WEATHERFORD: I don't know that there is. Let me say two things to that. One, is one <br />way is before you divide a subdivision, check on that particular one would be one approach. <br />Clearly, it is unlikely you will divide Black Sands or Leilani. The other is I do know there was a <br />recent effort that the Hawaiian Paradise Park Office can inform you about in terms of organizing <br />all of the subdivisions in Puna into a common group. They may have a list that would help you. <br />MR. KAHAWAIOLA`A: You mentioned that according to the figures you have, 5% of the Puna <br />residents would not be in Puna. <br />MR. WEATHERFORD: They would not be within those two districts that you would create <br />within Puna. It is a numerical fact. <br />MR. KAHAWAIOLA`A: So, there would be some Puna residents that would need to migrate <br />outside of these two districts. That's all I needed to hear, thank you. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Just to further clarify the business about incorporation, I know with non- <br />profits, we have to file as a domestic non - profit with the State Department of Commerce and <br />Consumer Affairs, Business Registration Division. You fill out an application for a domestic <br />non - profit corporation, it is a legal document; you have to submit your bylaws, and have a board <br />of directors that meet certain criteria, and that sort of thing. Does Hawaiian Paradise Park have a <br />domestic non - profit corporation designation from the State Business Registration Division? <br />MR. WEATHERFORD: For that detailed question, I would prefer to defer to June Conant, the <br />Vice President of the association. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Where did June go? <br />MS. CONANT: We area 501(c)4 and we do have bylaws. We are chartered, we are <br />incorporated. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. <br />MR. MELROSE: I want to follow up on that question of whether or not in the effort that James <br />was talking about where you were looking for other incorporated subdivisions and trying to bring <br />a conversation amongst you together; which I think is a great idea. Do you have a list? Is there <br />7 <br />
