appropriation for the software, so that we do not have to depend on the <br />State's negotiations or timeline. <br />3. ESRI software <br />a. convoluted means of accessing for commissioners /public. <br />b. paper roads on maps are misleading, erroneous. <br />c. included roads, subdivisions that no longer exist (i.e-, Royal Gardens <br />buried under lava). <br />d. did not show all roads /streets (i.e., Shower Dr. cross- streets on north <br />side of drive), or identify all subdivision /community boundaries. <br />e. difficult process to print a map - or a zoomed -in portion of a map. <br />f.

There is a historical basis for <br />this overriding sentiment. <br />c. Maximum Council District Deviation (a): limitation to 4.9996 deviation <br />per district as an overriding mandated priority no matter what, and <br />despite public input that keeping communities together should be <br />
