Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting
<br />Minutes – May 23, 2016
<br />supporting the commission bill – that’s our number one, ah, and that, that
<br />came in, you know, a month ahead of time. So I think you’re right, Mark, I
<br />think that preparation, um, for us is something that we’re gonna have to
<br />get involved and get better at too.
<br />
<br />MB: Well, you know, I mean, Tom, my only point is, right, my, the point of the
<br />question was, um, you know, we’ve been trying to push legislation through
<br />for now probably three years, um, and we’ve not been successful to this
<br />year and every year we learn something that makes us better, right, and,
<br />um, I think it’s important that, you know, we, we continue to get better,
<br />right, what worked, what didn’t – what do we need to do down for next
<br />year, I mean, shall we say every GMAC member needs to go? Right? I
<br />mean there’s all kinds of things that we can, we can do to improve the
<br />outcome, right, so that’s my only point. Because it resides in your head
<br />and Nani’s head and, um, Kalani’s head, you know, I mean, we all – it
<br />would be helpful if we all - cause we’re all pushing for the same stuff,
<br />that’s all – just get it out, right?
<br />
<br />TL: Along that line, um, one of the things that you might do for us is write your
<br />thoughts down, um, so we can, you know, start a compilation of thoughts
<br />on that.
<br />
<br />MB: I’ll do that, Tom.
<br />
<br />TL: OK. I know Nani has thoughts, I have thoughts, others here have their
<br />own opinions and we should get those.
<br />
<br />BH: Can I mention something? There’s two things that, um, that was
<br />mentioned and I think this commission could do – could address that and
<br />it’s already, um, some commissions are doing it and then this commission
<br />actually is mandated to. One of it is – at the end of the fiscal year –
<br />because, um, I’m sorry I cannot tell if that’s Mark or John, OK, um, what
<br />Mark said is, you know, have a list of accomplishments. At the end of the
<br />year for every commission that is created by charter, um, there is a report
<br />that goes to the mayor, um, I think in that report and it becomes, I mean, it
<br />becomes a history of this commission for the year and it’s – because there
<br />is a change in administration some commissions – a lot of the advisory
<br />commissions, especially, want to communicate that to the next
<br />administration – that you are a valuable commission, you are a committed
<br />commission, um, you have people in the community that are committed to
<br />the purposes and the goals of this commission, ah, so you should mention
<br />and you should mention all your achievements and what your endeavors
<br />are. The other thing is what’s, ah, Mark said is other commissions what
<br />they do is as soon as the legislature opens up – we know what bills are
<br />already on the table, um, maybe the legislative committee for this
<br />commission should brief or – we should have listing already – of any bills
