MR. KAHOLE: Hello, I guess we're good to go. Good afternoon Commissioners, my name is Collin Kahole. I reside in North Kohala. From all the plans you have here before us, I commend all of you for the hard work and energy this commission has done to complete their test before us, the public. Now you are testing the public in support of a plan that we give testimony and why and how you should support a plan with testimony from all of us here. My plan, Plan_ 17, after looking at all the other plans; North Kohala, Waimea, Honoka` a only one district. No cutting of communities whereas Puako, Waikoloa move in with a portion of North Kona to create one district. My other reason is some of the council persons look too comfortable in their present district. We need change, in public support, to have the community agenda heard. As the economy stays in its present condition, loss of jobs, layoffs, high gas price the Hawaii State Government and the County decides to raise fees. One must look at the IBC (International Building Code) and the other one is UBC (Uniform Building Code), the only winner is the vendors who sell material. Home insulation, safe room and other mandate support the IBC's and UBC's. These add -ons are for winters and tornados, not here in Hawaii. Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you for your testimony. The next testifier is Sonny Shimaoka. SONNY SHIMAOKA (At this time Sonny Shimaoka came forward to address members of the Commission.) MR. SHIMAOKA: Aloha Commissioners, my name is Sonny Shimaoka, I reside in Waimea and I'm in favor of Plan _17, in my opinion it makes the best sense with equal representation, and I am strongly in favor of keeping the Waimea district, Waimea; bringing back Lakeland, and would welcome Honoka' a, and turning that into a District 1. I also agree with Collin, I think that redistricting a lot of times brings in good change, at least change; and the whole idea about equal representation makes sense to me it looks now, so Plan_17. Thank you CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Our next testifier is Joseph Kealoha. JOSEPH KEALOHA (At this time Joseph Kealoha came forward to address members of the Commission.) MR. KEALOHA: Good afternoon Commissioners, everyone in the room, aloha. Excuse me for wearing my sunglasses, I hurt my eye. I was a police officer for 30 years in this district and retired after 30 years, and now a police reserve officer for the past 6. So, 36 years in one district. I've seen this district grow from a small community to what we have now. Lakeland was always part of Waimea, and then it changed because population changed; it changed. Now I'm like Sonny, like Collins we would like to see from White Road on down; we would like to have Lakeland, White Road back to Waimea, like Waimea was, because it's sad to listen to my friends tell me - -and I've been in this district forever - -you know we're Waimea, and then to vote we all gotta go down to Honoka' a. Our P.O. Box is P.O. Box, Kamuela. You know, they feel left out, it's not fair to them. And I'm not sure how the districting is done; stop me when my five minutes is up please, because I can wala' au. You know, in police sense, all those areas are Waimea. Now when we need man power, all the crimes happening in those areas become part of a statistic that 3
