Census Blocks -- -some are strangely designed and too large. More thought needs <br />to be given in shaping them, particularly at Mauna Lani - Waikoloa hotels examples are: <br />Block 150010217041072 - -Takes both Mauna Lani golf course and Waikoloa hotels <br />Block 150010217041035 -Takes makai side of Puako Beach Road all along the coast <br />2. Training -- -more time can be spent on training - - -the maps as is were wonderful and <br />easy to use, luckily MikeM figured out how to get the numbers in the census blocks <br />which should have been displayed automatically from the start. Ability to split screen at <br />least two maps -- -that way you can see the current and new you are working on. <br />3. Definitely the 4.99% either way was helpful but keeping communities of interest <br />together is more important, so maybe going up 7 -8 percent on either side would be <br />better as long as it stays below 10 %. <br />4. Growth -- keeping it in mind is ok but more emphasis should be place on the now <br />since so much can happen (like Puna and Kona) or not happen (Kau and Hamakua) <br />Aloha, <br />Joe <br />
