PATRICIA NAKAMOTO <br />(At this time Patricia Nakamoto, Elections Supervisor, came forward to address members of the <br />Commission.) <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: It would be helpful if when you are drawing the lines, you follow <br />some identifiable feature for the description. For example - -and Cori can probably explain <br />this better - -there is an area where we are off of Saddle Road, and if we followed Saddle <br />Road, then that would make the description a lot clearer. There may be people, who some <br />day want to go and look where these boundaries are, and the descriptions - -if you folks <br />have had a chance to look at the metes and bounds - -they are meaningless. They talk about <br />tiger lines that have like about 10 digits in them. So if you follow some landmark; like <br />Dru mentioned the watershed boundary. There is an area that following Saddle Road <br />would make it easier. <br />MR. MIDDLESWORTH: Pohakuloa, you cannot. The census blocks are so strange, that <br />you cannot follow the road. <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: Anyways, if you folks would like, Cori can come up and show you <br />the area that she is referring to on Saddle Road. <br />MR. CARVALHO: Thank you, Pat. <br />MR. KANUHA: I wanted to move back to Hualalai to put those three census blocks into <br />District 7, to follow the watershed boundaries of the Waiaha watershed in Kona. <br />MR. KAHUI: Was that going to affect District 8? This is Commissioner Kahui. <br />MR. KANUHA: In population, no. It does put half of the summit of Hualalai into <br />District 7 and half in District 8. <br />MR. KAHUI: Okay, but are we moving further east then, or are we holding the eastern <br />boundary? We cannot see the screen at this time. <br />MR. KANUHA: It's just the three census blocks. <br />MR. KAHUI: We have the screen now. <br />MR. KANUHA: Just the three on the very southern; those three. That's all; Bo, what do <br />you think? <br />MR. KAHUI: Well, respectfully, we like water too. <br />MR. KANUHA: Well, you get the summit of Hualalai. <br />MR. KAHUI: Well, it doesn't rain up there. But, you know, I would prefer the previous <br />map, and trying to keep some of that watershed. As you know, water is a big issue for us <br />30 <br />
