GREGORY SMITH (At this time Gregory Smith came forward from Pahoa to address members of the Commission.) MR. SMITH: All right. From what I have seen of the Final Report, it is very good. The only - - -All I can say is, thank you for your great work. Overall it is very good, with the exception of the Kea`au commercial center. I think the map is excellent, and it is kind of, to me, a stretch to include Kea`au in to District 3. But, this whole process, in my opinion, I thank you all for; particularly to the representative from Volcano, because that was just gracious beyond expectations. And you know, you guys have done a great job overall. Again, thank you much, and prayerfully don't take anything personally, this is an onerous process at best. You have done well and mahalo; and I hope it is better the next time. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. We hope it is better next time too, and with that view, we are all adding some recommendations to the Final Report. Do we have anyone in Kona or Waimea? MR. KAHUL For Kona, we have no testifiers. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you, Bo. How about Waimea? MS. HANANO: We have no testifiers from Waimea. MR. CARVALHO: Is that Pete in the back? CHR. SIRACUSA: Probably; yep; it is. APPROVAL OF MINUTES CHR.
