Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br /> Minutes—October 19, 2015 <br /> OK, this is looking at a statewide organization. I believe that in the August <br /> meeting this body voted not to pursue looking into that statewide <br /> organization. I believe there was a vote on it, I suggest that you folks go <br /> back, relook at that section and I don't know how you would do it— make <br /> an amendment to re-do the vote or something to that effect so that this <br /> can actually be legally on the books. Because if you're voting on <br /> something and it was done away with, I don't think you can talk about 'em <br /> at the next meeting because you already voted on it. So it's just a <br /> clarification thing. <br /> B. Castillo-Hall. Past actions may be reconsidered by any person who was <br /> part of the majority who voted on the action in the first place. <br /> S. Araujo shared that he received a letter from the Department of Land and <br /> Natural Resources, addressed to the Hawaii Hunting Advisory Council and <br /> he believes they still acknowledge it to be alive. The letter was pertaining <br /> to the EA that they are doing in the Laupahoehoe forest regarding fencing <br /> and eradication, <br /> Chair Lodge stated that the organization voted out of existence. The state has so <br /> much stuff on the books that they don't erase. <br /> D. Yoshina stated that if it was legislatively created body, the legislature would be <br /> the one to take it off the books. Perhaps people who were on the <br /> committee on this island, maybe they disbanded, if it's still on the books <br /> you may be able to resurrect it. Not sure where the discussion will go but <br /> it wasn't sunseted it's still alive. <br /> Chair Lodge stated that Steven Araujo was the president of the Hawaii Hunting <br /> Advisory Council. They had minutes and by-laws and whatever that was <br /> drafted by the group itself, but when the money expired the group lasted <br /> one year and then it was voted to disband and they did. But now it's <br /> brought up again by the Governor's Office, so we're actually looking into <br /> seeing if that's even a possibility, and being funded through the Wildlife <br /> Revolving Fund. <br /> Action: GMACs Government Affairs Committee will research whether the <br /> Hawaii Hunter Advisory Council is a legislative or an administrative <br /> creation. <br /> VII. DISCUSSION <br /> 1. Mark Bartell on the Pros and Cons of the Air Land Water Advisory <br /> Committee in place of a dedicated Game Management Advisory <br /> Committee Statewide and whether now is the time to pursue it? <br /> 2 <br />
