commonly served than with Kona. The other concern I have is with the current CDP. If we are moved to North Kona, what would happen with the current CDP? That took a lot of time and effort to put together, and that process would probably have to start all over again. That is all that I have, and thank you for time you have given me. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Let's take someone else from Waimea please. MS. HANANO: My next testifier is Bette Green. She is representing herself, she is supporting Plan B, opposing Plan A, and commenting. BETTE GREEN (At this time Betty Green came forward via videoconference from Waimea to address members of the Commission.) MS. GREEN: Good morning, it is nice to see you all again. I am still very impressed with the amount of tweaking that you have managed to do from the volumes of plans you had to begin with. You are getting very close, in my opinion. It would be Plan _B with a little additional tweaking; Waikoloa definitely has more ties with Waimea than it does with North Kona, and would like very much to stay in District 9. Again, thank you for your hard work. Mahalo. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Richard Bidleman. RICHARD BIDLEMAN (At this time Richard Bidleman came forward to address members of the Commission.) MR. BIDLEMAN: Good morning. You are down to the last race here I think. As you all are aware, myself and some other people, along with your efforts, have spent countless hours manipulating the mapping software. I can certainly appreciate all the effort that has gone into it. What I am hearing today, is that people are in favor of this plan or that plan. What I want to say to you folks today is, and it was actually stated by your Chairman in a previous meeting, no matter what plan that you folks arrive at, it has got to be a compromise. You can't keep everybody happy. I hope that those people who are testifying in favor of this plan or that plan, fully understand that the task that you have ahead of you to compromise. I honestly believe that if you truly develop a compromise, nobody is going to be happy about it. We are all going to have to make some sacrifice here. So this testimony about this plan or that plan, I don't think it serves the best interest of this committee. Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you Richard. Let's go to Waimea now; we have more testifiers over there so I want to give them more chances. MS. HANANO: My next testifier is Sheldon Meier. He is representing himself, and he is supporting Plan B, opposing Plan _A and commenting. 11
