Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – May 14, 2019 <br />KS: I would suggest to take those concerns and this is also what we were <br />counseled – through your State GMAC representative and to – so that’s <br />Ryan, right, Kohatsu, take those concerns to him and he can bring it up at the <br />next State GMAC meeting is what we were instructed. I understand what <br />you’re saying – there maybe there’s other ways that I don’t know but that’s <br />how we were instructed to counsel you. <br /> <br />TN: So we as an advisory board are being counseled by the State and we’re the <br />County of Hawaii – on our natural resources. You don’t have an answer... <br /> <br />KS: I mean – we’re tasked with managing State lands and State resources and so <br />we – whether you like it or not – have to go by State laws and State rules and <br />part of that is the State Game Management Advisory Commission – so I <br />would try to work through that. <br /> <br />KU: Who has the authority to make the decision? I’m sorry Kanalu – I know you <br />gotta take a lot of gas here but you’re an employee so who has... <br /> <br />KS: I take it every time I come... <br /> <br />KU: Who has the final authority to make the decision? Is it Bob Masuda or just the <br />person’s name? I’d just like to know... <br /> <br />KS: The Governor. <br /> <br />KU: The Governor – OK. I see. Good to know. <br /> <br />KS: Am I wrong? I’m glad my boss is here too. <br /> <br />SB: Aloha, Steve Bergfield with Forestry. I would suggest if you’re asking for a <br />person to talk to go to the chair of our Department and the representative on <br />the State GMAC is First Deputy, Bob Masuda, so if you make that <br />recommendation then between our chairperson – Chair Case – and Deputy <br />Masuda and our administrator Dave Smith – those are the three main people <br />that will give direction on things that we’re asked to do. <br /> <br />NP: Can we make the request to you and you can take it to them? <br /> <br />SB: You can – but I think it’s also... <br /> <br />NP: Richard – wait a second – don’t go yet... <br /> <br />SB: You certainly can make recommendations through us and we will share that <br />with those three people that I just mentioned but I think another way to do that <br />is to it through the State GMAC Commission, which was formed by state law. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
