Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – May 14, 2019 PD: I would address Susan Case a lot. I’d \[unclear\] her face as much as possible. These guys all staff people. I’ll be dealing because of your level all at the top and not with this. This is what you’re gonna hear all the time. Dime a dozen saying the same thing over and over just for job comfort – they not going really take care nothing. TN: Would you suggest to us that we address this – as to how we address this because as Pali says that the next level that we address is wouldn’t be you because you’re just taking orders, as you say. SB: I think I mentioned that earlier and Palikapu agrees with me on that that that’s who you should be addressing your comments to as far as our chairperson – our administrator – and say in that letter – like I suggested through your GMAC representative for the State and then also directly to the Chairperson. PD: And one thing I saw lack was – there wasn’t nothing about gathering rights Article 12, Section 7. And it’s embarrassing that you guys work for DLNR and you don’t know those rights.

So you gotta be more strong – no scared – submit your own management plan and let ‘em go like this and figure out what’s this, what’s that, what this, what’s that is. But don’t accept this at the last part and then they try fit you in with your concerns – you should be up front – be part of the whole planning – if not – plan yourself – and then give it to them so that when they do their plan you got yours already that they got to incorporate in the draft. No scared, I mean... TN: Pali? Would you be part of our planning? PD: Yeah, if you like. TN: Thank you, Pali. TN: Terri Napeahi with Pele Defense Fund – since the last presentation that I have given – there was some conversation with our community and I heard from the State GMAC regarding the fact that, you know, and conversation about there isn’t a State Management Plan because that was stated in my last presentation and then someone from – a worker – an employee from 23
