Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br /> Minutes—September 21, 2015 <br /> c. Draft Meeting Rules — Rules of Meeting conduct for receiving public <br /> testimony, notification of meetings and agenda items, etc., published <br /> minutes, summaries, reports. <br /> Meeting follows Robert's Rules, <br /> Chair requested that items to add to the agenda be in writing to him or the <br /> secretary. Items on agenda have a brief detail so someone from the public <br /> can read it and understand it and actually comment or give testimony. <br /> The Chair has the flexibility to ask for and accept testimony written or oral, <br /> but usually on agendized items. <br /> Communications from the public could also be included on the agenda <br /> and folks could provide testimony on those topics because it is on the <br /> agenda. <br /> We lack follow-up. If somewhere in the meeting we actually looked at last <br /> agenda, the last meeting, the meeting prior to that, and somehow, whether <br /> we were given an action item or we need to follow-up with the public on a <br /> certain topic I would say our discipline around that is less than stellar. <br /> New Business would actually be the public testimony, it has to tie in with <br /> one of the agenda items. <br /> Staff will work on coming up with the wordage to place at the agenda <br /> alerting folks how to get an item on the agenda. <br /> d. Mayor's support for Legislative Agenda — HB104 recognition of our <br /> game animals as resources; Families Afield — Apprentice License for <br /> hunting. Are there other important Legislative Agenda items to <br /> consider? <br /> Mayor is very supportive of H BI 04, Families Afield —Apprentice License <br /> for hunting. He also said if more funding is needed he would increase our <br /> budget for more trips to the legislature and helping with the Heritage Day. <br /> Action: M. Bartell motioned that GMAC add to its legislative agenda a <br /> statewide game management advisory board. Seconded by N. <br /> Pogline. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Action: Ike Yoshina motioned to resurrect Families Afield. Seconded <br /> by N. Pogline. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> M.
