resort be adjusted slightly to align with Mauna Lani Resort's southern property boundary. <br />This would keep our 194 residents who would be affected by the proposed boundary <br />change from being placed into a district that is separate from the district in which the bulk <br />of our residents reside. Thank you very much for your time and we ask for the <br />Commission's kind consideration of this matter. If you have any questions, I would be able <br />to answer. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Jeff, did you have a question? <br />MR. MELROSE: You understand that we can only move boundaries by census tracts. <br />MS. PATTON: I understand. <br />MR. MELROSE: So, is there a census tract between those two pieces of property? <br />MS. PATTON: There is not. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will see what <br />we can do. Sometimes the numbers get in the way, and that is the highest priority; and we <br />don't have flexibility there. But we will try. <br />MS. PATTON: We appreciate your consideration. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Let's go back to Waimea. <br />MS. HANANO: Our final testifier here this evening is Pete Hoffmann. <br />PETE HOFFMANN <br />(At this time Pete Hoffmann came forward via videoconference from Waimea to address members <br />of the Commission.) <br />MR. HOFFMANN: Thank you, Madam Chairman. It is my pleasure once again to <br />provide just brief testimony and to once again tell you on behalf of certainly the residents <br />of our district, how much we do appreciate the work of the Commission. We do know how <br />difficult it has been all along. I just wanted to comment, though, as we near the end of this <br />process, to remind all the Commission members, if it is at all possible, that the final <br />Commission report, I think needs to really try to capture the essence of what you have been <br />through over the past seven or eight months. I would hope that it is not simply an historical <br />report of the ups and downs and the ins and outs and some of the problems that existed; but <br />a good compilation of proactive measures and recommendations. That you provide, not <br />just for the County Administration, but more importantly for the County Council. I know <br />that the Madam Chairman and I discussed this very briefly when she passed through <br />Waimea yesterday. I did want to stress how important it is to us as Councilmembers, now, <br />to take some action and to make any alterations, changes, or suggestions that you might <br />have, and try to implement them before this whole process goes away. <br />5 <br />
