Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – October 24, 2016 PC: Well, I mean, the answer – part of the answer I was gonna give for your earlier question, though, was, was that, you know, ultimately, land managers that might be using rodenticides – they’re going to look at the, you know, all of the, the information and, you know, possibly if there are non-targets such as game animals – they may chose not to use rodenticides in that, that way – in that area... TL: Um-hum... PC: ....because it’s a tool that’s not appropriate for that area. So it really – it’s dependent upon the site specific questions and issues there and, you know, of course, game mammals if there is hunting is something that’s going to be considered, ah, whether or not they use that in that particular situation – so that’s what this programmatic EIS is supposed to give people that perspective and, ah, you know, make sure that that’s not being impacted if that’s – if they are there. TL: Um-hum... Thank you... TN: Tom? Can we ask questions, Tom? TL: Yes ma’am? TN: Can we ask questions? TL: Absolutely... TN: Um, it was mentioned that there was a public scoping back in March in Kona – do you know what date that? PC: I would have to look that up... TN: Because I would love to know who attended. I certainly would have been there if I had known – and others. PC: It was... TN: And who attended and where was the meeting... PC: It was over at the Kona – West Hawaii Civic Center – I think that’s where you folks are know actually. TN: \[Unclear – sounds like “Is that Patrick?”\] PC: We probably had twenty plus people there. We had more people here in Hilo. 15
