MR. CARVALHO: That would be it. Like Mike said, you can't take the next block. You can try and see what happens and then undo afterwards. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: That's what happens. It takes a lot of Waikoloa. So you have got to chose. Who do we split, Waikoloa or Mauna Lani? There are fewer full time residents at Mauna Lani. MR. KANUHA: I agree with just putting those two census blocks into District 9. MR. MELROSE: I appreciate the owners concern there; if we can do what we cant there. The lady that who testified knew that this wasn't going to work well by lines, and so if we can do something like this, this is fine with me; but I think this is all we can do, frankly. MR. CARVALHO: I think that's the best we can do. MR. KAHUI: This is Bo from Kona. I totally agree with that notion. She did testify; it was obvious that she also reviewed -- -When we did the revision, she knew that the census block was going to really skew, I think, the population. What we are trying to do is serve the community of interest, but this is one that we probably cannot meet. MR. MELROSE: Shyla, can I see the district numbers again just to make sure what that looks like for District 8 and 9? Okay. CHR. SIRACUSA: So we are good there. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: Look at the change in Districts 2 and 3. CHR. SIRACUSA: Well, while we are up here did we want to look at some of the Brenda Ford suggested revisions? Or is that what we have been doing? Okay, so let's go to Districts 2 and 3 then. Karen, have you been able to get that email? MS. EOFF: We'll have it in about ten minutes. CHR. SIRACUSA: Okay, ten more minutes. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: I shifted the 2 and 3 boundaries a little bit to eliminate that tail that we had earlier. That is essentially what I did. So it runs down Komohana. MR. MELROSE: I don't have a problem with that alignment. For me, I think we had talked about, in the broad scale; that we would try to keep a mauka /mauai orientation where we could. I think that is a valuable thing. I think that just is a perception that what do you represent. I represent a piece of the island, not a piece, but a tract; that actually represents our orientation. I think there is value in that. I think just from a downtown perspective, this keeps the whole of the downtown in one place. I like that. There are some old traditional terminologies for the way these two districts come to the ocean; three districts actually, the Hilo Paliku, the Hilo of the upright cliffs that goes all the way to 15
