Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – February 11, 2020 County calendar specifically for today it says no events for February. So this is not even online. So that’s concern number one – on the county calendar and number two it’s challenging for people, I know, I have three kids, I have a full time job – I’m sure for you guys too this is a volunteer position – it’s very difficult to get here to find the time when everybody can be here especially so on the week night when we really want to be home – not so much doing homework and cooking dinner but taking care of our children. I think that often times we forget that participating in these events is a luxury that a lot of people don’t have and so we really need to find ways to get this information and get community feedback at places where your community is so I would really like to recommend that perhaps with the help of Roy we hook up with the Council Members in each district and find out what community association meetings are active – whether it’s Jaerick’s, whether it’s Keaukaha Community Association \[unclear\], Leleiwi Community Association and then provide some of the information or some of bills at those kind of community meetings and really use those community meetings to do the outreach for you, right, so rather than this group doing the outreach using the community associations to do the outreach and actually get people there to provide feedback – so they could then provide the feedback. Often times people don’t necessarily feel like they have a place to sit at the table but they’re a lot more comfortable talking amongst their neighbors and amongst their peers and so that’s also a great way to collect data that can be kinda fed back to the work that you guys are doing. Thank you. AA: Any questions or comments? Say, Mark? Nora? So to that question – how come – or maybe Donna – one of you, I guess, how come the meeting’s not posted. DUH: It is posted. It’s on the web and it’s posted. TN: Abraham, Teresa – District 8 – could I speak to Lucy. Is that her name? AA: Louisa. TN: Louisa. Hi Louisa, Teresa – District 8. If you could you could leave us your contact number – how to get a hold of you and your email address – we can have Donna send you our notices directly and you can help us to have the community engage with us. LL: Thank you. TN: Would that be possible? LL: Yeah. My phone number is on the sign in but I can be by email. TN: That would be great. Thank you so much Louisa. 27
