CHR. SIRACUSA: Let's take a look at the District 7 and 8 boundaries. <br />MR. KANUHA: I know it takes out a whole chunk of Kealakehe and puts that into District 8. <br />Zoom into that chunk taken out. I know there is a pretty big population inside there. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: So that would make a big difference wherever you move it. <br />MR. MELROSE: If you put Palani Road into the north District 8, so you get all of the K to K <br />area, all of Hawaiian Homes, all the new County building on that side, then you come back to the <br />top and trade some of that. Then you have the whole growth area, Kalaoa, Costco. <br />MR. KANUHA: That could possibly work. <br />MR. CARVALHO: Depending on the numbers. <br />MR. KANUHA: It all depends on the number of people within that small little wedge and all the <br />Kealakehe and La`iopua that you would take out. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Bo, were you following that? <br />MR. KAHUI: Yes, I am following that. As we look to use Palani Road as a boundary, and that <br />middle piece that is sticking out that looks like to be just south of Palani Road. <br />MR. MELROSE: That is Hawaiian Homes. <br />MR. KAHUI: Oh, that is Hawaiian Homes area. <br />MR. KANUHA: It is Kealakehe Elementary. <br />MR. KAHUI: We do want to keep Hawaiian Homes and some of the surrounding communities <br />contiguous. That is really the new urban center. We really got to look at the numbers, if in fact <br />the numbers become more important than the contiguous communities. <br />MR. MELROSE: I think we can actually fix that, if we get around and look at the rest of this <br />district. Let's come back and play with this one, because this is an important one, this is a key <br />piece. I think we can actually be a little more elegant, or clear about how to do that. <br />MR. KANUHA: I will say something though on what Jeff brought up earlier with those <br />towns in Kailua and making District 6 not just a Ka' u- district as in more of a Ka` u /Kona <br />district. One of the testifiers last night brought up that maybe as far down as Miloli`i, <br />consider themselves part of Kona, south Kona, which is really far down. It does kind of make <br />it a Ka` u /Kona District instead of just Holualoa being part of Ka` u; which maybe I shouldn't <br />have said. <br />22 <br />
