IC: Yeah, no, these are all good ideas, I like it, I mean, I’m open to anything, you know, we’ll find the logistical challenges in each and every aspect, but I’m open to all kinds. We do have some of those – a powerline is one example which is up at Waiakea which is a dog rested for six months out of the year and I think that makes people pretty excited when July 1 rolls around cause they know there hasn’t been anything but a few outlaws in there during the previous 6 months. I haven’t had a lot of reports back this year about how it is but it’s definitely based on \[unclear\] there’s opportunity for that and it’s a great idea where we can maybe even decide some places – maybe it doesn’t have to be year-round seven days a week, maybe, I don’t know, some, or winter is when you want to do it – but this is just the discussion I want to incite, I guess. NP: Well, hopefully, they can have a continuation with the next meeting and as new information comes up. Thank you so much. Is there anybody else? Go ahead. SM: So, Ian, Stanley, you happened to talk with Kanalu about Puuanahulu? IC: Yeah, I just, I mean he had no problem with it. I actually talked to him a day or two after we spoke and that was the extension from one more month of \[unclear\] right? SM: Yes. IC: And he was fine so it’s something that when we make a bigger, more - a package to present to get comments on and you guys can take it back to your district constituents to kind of get feedback, then we – we’ll just add it in. And I was trying to pick some low-hanging fruit to get this done but \[unclear\] ones that you can think of just add ‘em in and – cause I’m not familiar with each district’s situation, you know… SM: Right… IC: ….I get a lot of calls about pigs in Puna but like whether or not that’s gonna change if we change the rules over there – I don’t know. There’s just a lot of subdivision next to the small forest reserves. 25
