CHR. SIRACUSA: Did I mis -state that? MR. KAHAWAIOLA`A: No, you didn't, I only wanted to make a point of clarification; we had no Ordinance like we do now. CHR. SIRACUSA: Got you. MR. CHANG: Yes, Madam Chair, unfortunately, I haven't read that Supreme Court case, but based on what you are telling me now, and without me actually researching the issue, I think that the Ordinance will come into play if this were to go to court again. It does set a precedent that keeping communities of interest together, that is a factor. But again, another factor that the court would look at if this were to become a law suit would be the Ordinance itself, as well. CHR. SIRACUSA: Anybody else? Okay, let's go on now with our review and discussion of redistricting plans. We have the most recent one that Margaret Wille submitted to look at and we have one that Mike Middlesworth submitted to look at. Do we want to get Shyla up here now? Shyla, if you would. MR.

KAHAWAI OLA `A : That's why I'm getting a little bit confused with the term submitted. We cut off a submission time and I keep hearing you say this plan that was submitted. So we need to be very clear, we cut off submissions. MS. POINDEXTER: I would like to see them. I know they have been sent to me, but it's harder. It's easier to view them here when we have the zooming in and looking at all of that. MS. EOFF: Thank you. My understanding is that at our last meeting in Kona we reviewed all of the plans that were submitted by the deadline of September 15, 2011. Those were called up to Plan -3 9. Then at that meeting, because of the issue with Plan -3 9, we did do some work on it and then re -named that a Plan -40, which is a Commission's work in progress. From that time, we 10
