We believe that our community will be <br />served most effectively and efficiently by keeping our residents within a single voting district; <br />rather than splitting them approximately 15% and 85° o between two separate districts. (For your <br />reference, attached is a map showing the Commission's proposed boundary, the three Mauna <br />Lani neighborhoods totaling 194 residents, and our suggested boundary adjustment.) <br />MLRA respectfully requests the Commission's kind consideration and support of this matter. <br />Should you have any questions or require any further information whatsoever, please do not <br />hesitate to contact me. <br />Attachment <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />MAUNA LANI ES OCIA "�' <br />Sandra A.
