CHR. SIRACUSA: We have three points under this Communication. What is the pleasure of the Commission; would you like to take them all sort of jump around, or do you want to take them one at a time? One at a time, folks. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: I have a map that I submitted earlier, and another one that I submitted this morning. I would for us to look at. CHR. SIRACUSA: We can do all of that, yes. So, let's start with the ones that are on the agenda then, if that is okay with everyone. That would be 53.1 and that has to do with the changes to Kea` au. Shyla, could you come up please? This was inspired by what Joyce referred to as the little dingle dangle that was hanging down in Kea` au; and since then, as the Commission has read from James Weatherford's and Scott Stoddard's communications, it was pointed out to us that there was another way to address that, and to also address the issue of - -- Before I start, I should say, I need a motion to close file. Mr. Kanuha moved to close file on COMM. 53. Seconded by Ms. Poindexter. CHR. SIRACUSA: To address that problem, but also the fact that in our Final Draft Plan, we have Kea` au divided and we also have Pahoa Village divided. This would address those two issues so that both those towns would not be divided, and each town would go into one or the other districts. So, let's look at how we can do that, if that's okay with everybody. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: This is Rene's Plan. 7
