Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – September 10, 2019 <br />next piece and the next day the County mower came in – picked up the rocks <br />that was in that area and he mowed it and it’s actually being utilized by the <br />soccer players. <br /> <br />NP: So it’s really efficient where there’s rocks... <br /> <br />MC: A very good part about the animals – utilizing the animals – we can go where <br />tractors can’t. Rocky terrains, gulches, so – you can – by utilizing goats and <br />sheep you can actually lessen the herbicide use even more by using – than <br />using tractors and herbicides – cause where the tractor can’t go they’ll <br />herbicide – we’ll just come through with animals – so I’m hoping I can prove <br />more that the animals are worthwhile having around and utilizing them in a <br />professional manner. Any questions anybody? Come on? Somebody got to <br />get questions, yeah... <br /> <br />JO: I’m only allotted one a night. <br /> <br />TN: This is Teresa in Kona. What’s your next project with the County – have they <br />talked further with you and contacted you to do more areas since this project <br />was successful? <br /> <br />MC: We’ve been in touch, um, they are working on different sites around the whole <br />Island – so they are looking at putting 3C goat grazing at County parks <br />around the whole Island. So they’re sitting down and gathering where would <br />be the best to utilize us. <br /> <br />GH: Grayson from District 6 – are you in conversations with the State? <br /> <br />MC: Not at this time and moment, um, I will be in contact with them to do more on <br />the side of highways – in-between medians – and whatever land they can – <br />they would like to clean up in an environmentally friendly way. <br /> <br />TN: Are you in touch with the Department of Transportation both County and <br />State? Are you in touch with the – now that you’ve met Kanalu I hope <br />something will come to fruition for you here – but, um, have you come in <br />contact with other departments that could use your services – both State and <br />County? <br /> <br />MC: Not at this time and moment, um, I’m – how can I put it – I don’t want to bite <br />off more than I can chew at this time and moment. I see a green light going – <br />starting with the County at the parks and hopefully we control stepping stones <br />so we can be as efficient as we can and professional as we can to get the job <br />done a 100%. So we’re gonna take small little stepping stones and get up <br />there. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br /> <br />
