MR. CASSEL: Very briefly, for all the reasons that have been mentioned today, I strongly urge the Council to support Plan_40. Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Waimea, how many more testifiers do you have? MR. HIRT: We have seven more. CHR. SIRACUSA: Okay, let's take one more. MR. HIRT: Our next testifier is Randy Kutler, speaking in support of Plan_40. RANDY KUTLER (At this time Randy Kutler came forward via videoconference to address members of the Commission.) MR. KUTLER: Good morning. I am a Waikoloa Village resident and I live in Waikoloa. I support Plan _40. I feel that separating Waikoloa Village into two different districts would be a mistake. Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Okay, we now have Brenda Ford testifying. Do we need some time to put your map up, to arrange that? Brenda has submitted a plan and we are going to look at it on the screen as she testifies so that she can refer to it. Here comes Shyla now. Waimea, let's take one more while they set up over here. MR. HIRT: Okay, our next testifier is George Robinson, representing Puako Community Association and he is here to speak in support of Plan_40. GEORGE ROBINSON (At this time George Robinson came forward via videoconference from Waimea to address members of the Commission.) MR. ROBINSON: Hello folks, you have seen me many times. I just want to thank you for the work you are doing. I really want to acknowledge you for protecting Puako and keeping us associated with Waimea and North Kohala, which is what we have asked for continuously. I really appreciate that on behalf of the Puako community. I just ask that you continue to take that stand as you deliberate on the best configuration. We support Plan 40 over Plan A, because it seems to be a better balance of districts, island wide. Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. We are coming back to Hilo now to Brenda Ford. BRENDA FORD (At this time Brenda Ford came forward to address members of the Commission.) 21
