Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – May 14, 2019 <br /> <br />JO: Yes, Jim O’Keefe here. Yes, the Mayor has tasked somebody on his staff to <br />work with us on getting some recommendations of where to proceed. We’ve <br />been working with – that person’s Malia – and we’ve been working with her <br />getting a summary of the kinds of things that are required for proper shooting <br />range safety, environmental management, hydrology, you know, the whole <br />works – and we have presented a list of several sites and the pros and cons <br />of those sites – the kinds of things that would take for each or any of them to <br />become a working group and we’ll be awaiting a response from the Mayor’s <br />Office on that to see where we go next. <br /> <br />BKK: Jim, what sites are those? <br /> <br />JO: That would be Puuanahulu, Puu Kaohe and 16-Mile. <br /> <br />BKK: Thank you. All right – next – Communications Committee? \[Pause\] <br />Committee on Mauna Kea Information sheep task force? \[Pause\] Anything <br />from the Committee on Wild Game? Nothing? OK. Anybody – any <br />commissioners’ reports? <br /> <br />COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS BY DISTRICT: <br /> <br />NP: Not particularly for my district, but I made a motion that we respond to Tony <br />Sylvester’s request that we talk to DLNR or DOFAW about this hunter survey <br />and I looked for it and the survey’s been closed, so they removed it, I guess, <br />because possibly there were a lot of complaints about it but I think a hunter <br />survey is a good idea to feel the pulse of the hunters – the problem was that <br />the questions – Tony pointed out that the questions were all sort of geared <br />toward getting the hunters to say, yeah, we want to just go and have’ open <br />season and kill ‘em all, you know? Like using hunters for eradication <br />purposes, so, even though the survey has been closed I feel that we still <br />maybe should respond to Shaya suggesting questions that would be <br />beneficial to the hunters that they could respond in a way that is giving them <br />options to support renewable resource so, anyway, should I pursue that? We <br />made a motion – the survey’s closed... <br /> <br />BKK: I believe Tony was supposed to send both of us something regarding that? <br /> <br />NP: Right, he was but then he said he didn’t have time. I corresponded with him <br />and said that I would do it. <br /> <br />BKK: OK. We’ve already made a motion for it \[unclear\].. <br /> <br />NP: Yeah, so we should even though the survey’s closed. <br /> <br />BKK: Is there any other commissioner’s report? <br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />
