CDP's over there, and Redistricting over here. I understand some of the things we have done by putting people together, because they are in the CDP's, but - -- CHR. SIRACUSA: But the CDP does define a community of interest. MR. KAHAWAIOLA`A: Absolutely, however, it does not do it for Redistricting, because Redistricting is population based on census. CHR. SIRACUSA: Okay, now are you finished with your little section there Dru, or do you need to continue anymore? MR. KANUHA: I am not finished. To me, and Commissioner Kahui, I am pretty sure we have an understanding based off of our representation in Districts 7 and 8; that that border seems to be fine. I am not saying it is the best thing, I am just saying at this point, in this map, that is where I would think is the best line. MR. KAHUI: Dru, this is Commissioner Kahui, and I would concur with your statement. I think this is probably the best boundary, southern boundary and the northern boundary for District 8 and 7. Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Do we want to move down now, and look at Districts 7 and 6? MR. MELROSE: What are the numbers again? Can we see the numbers between those two? How close are we? MR. KANUHA: The numbers are good. MR. MELROSE: You have some leeway, you can actually move some of these things around if you wanted to straighten out that mauka one, or if you wanted to deal with the Keauhou split. MR. KANUHA: There is a connection between the mauka and mauai on that Mamalahoa Highway. I don't know how many people it's going to - -- CHR. SIRACUSA: We can find out. MR. MELROSE: If we took that block right there and we went straight up. MR. KANUHA: If we went up that block and gave that whole block to District 7, and then kind of came -- -Just the upper block. CHR. SIRACUSA: That is still okay. MR. KANUHA: What is the number now? MR. MELROSE: That addresses some of the issues you had about Holualoa feeling like they were in Ka` u. You have just reduced that. 37
