CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Do we have any more testifiers? Does anyone out there now feel <br />moved to say something now that they've heard what other people have to say? Anyone feel <br />inspired? Okay does anyone who has already testified want to testify some more? Okay, I want <br />you all to know that this is not your last opportunity to input into this process. You can send <br />emails, if you wake up in the middle of the night with a sudden flash of inspiration, "God, I <br />should have jumped up and said such and such!" you can. You can email Karen and she will give <br />you before you leave, if you want, she will give you her email address and you can submit <br />testimony that way. You can also snail mail the commission, Karen can give you that address as <br />well. <br />This is the last of the public hearings. We went around the island and had public hearings in each <br />of the 9 council districts. Tomorrow we have our first meeting after that and that will be in Hilo <br />and then we will be setting schedules for a few other meetings during which we will try to take <br />everybody's testimony and find a win -win solution. That's going to be a biggie. Thank you for <br />reminding me. The meeting in Hilo will be teleconferenced, so you can go to the West Hawaii <br />Civic Center and watch that meeting in Hilo tomorrow morning, it starts at 10:00 a.m. and you <br />can take part in it by testifying at that point in time from the West Hawaii Civic Center and also <br />from Waimea, the Council Office in Waimea. We will continue to listen to what people have to <br />say until we finish drawing up our final plan. At that point we are required to go out to two <br />public hearings, one in Hilo and one in Kona and justify our decision, I guess. The dates are <br />where all the materials are on the table, the schedule of meetings. Please don't feel like we're <br />locking you out tonight, you know there is plenty more opportunities and we do want to hear from <br />people, we really do. Yes, come on up here. <br />ELIZABETH HARDY <br />(At this time Elizabeth Hardy came forward to address members of the Commission.) <br />MRS. HARDY: I'm Elizabeth Hardey, and my question is the next time that the public is going <br />to be able to see what you're doing, will you have maps that aren't, you said these were not <br />exactly the way you had decided to have them. There have been changes, and I can understand <br />that. That looks expensive to make but the next time will you have more accurate maps as to <br />what your thinking is? <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: No, because the next time is tomorrow morning and we will not have an <br />opportunity between the time we get home tonight at about 11:00 p.m. and tomorrow morning at <br />10:30 a.m. to put together any more big maps for you. <br />MRS. HARDY: I can understand that. Okay. But down the road you will? <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Down the road there will be yes, we will work together on a final plan and <br />then when we go out to public hearings, which as I said would be one in Kona and one in Hilo, <br />then that map will be there and there will be the smaller zoomed in pages also, so that people can <br />see details of that. <br />MRS. HARDY: With the streets and such? <br />0 <br />
