3. Poppe: Prefers 6 - 3 system (i.e. 6 <br />districts with 3 at -large). Agreedthat Council <br />Chairman should be one with most votes_ Pointed <br />out that the majority previously agreed to offer <br />to voters an alternative in district represen- <br />tation; hopes that when majority votes on an <br />issue in future, all members will actively <br />participate in final decision, even though some <br />members may not agree with the majority vote <br />(Tape 1:2:43). <br />4. Nishikawa: Refrained from voting initially <br />because feels council members should be concerned <br />with whole island instead of individual districts <br />(Tape 1:1:8). <br />5. Cushnie: Prefers 9 districts with none <br />at -large, but would agree to a 6 - 3 option; <br />would also consider a 7 or 8 member Council. <br />6. Juvik: Nine single -member districts might <br />be "cleanest;" but a 6 - 3 mix would be a bridge <br />from the present system to possibly a total <br />single -member district system in the future. <br />Council chair should be elected by Council from <br />the 1 - 3 at -large candidates. Also supports <br />minimizing gerrymandering (Tape 1:1:23) and <br />considering some semblance of the present <br />judicial districts. <br />7. Greenwell: Prefers 9 single -member <br />districts; but would alternatively vote for 8 <br />districts with 1 at -large Council chair. Also <br />prefers city manager, but feels like it's too <br />different an option to offer voters at this <br />time. <br />8. L'Orange: Strongly urges commission to <br />offer district option to voters. Feels all <br />commission members should voice which option they <br />prefer, whether or not they vote for one or the <br />other. Prefers 9 single -member districts. But <br />would vote for an alternative if single -member <br />districts are included in a combination option <br />(i.e. 6 - 3 or similar). Feels the largest vote <br />getter may not have the blessing of the majority <br />of Council people when chosing Council chair. <br />B. L'Orange: Suggests putting this on next agenda <br />when all members will be present to cast votes. <br />670 <br />
