Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes—April 20, 2015 list or whatever, I'm just making up numbers but...It's that kind of thing. So there's not a negotiation with PONC. It's up to the council people then to pass the resolution, Once that resolution is passed, then property management— Hamana and Alex put on a different hat— and then they go and they negotiate for the price for that parcel, you know, within the realm of the budget they're given by council. TL When you said that an organization has to bring the packet together— is that something that GMAC could do? CM: You could if you had the time. I've never seen [tape break] actually— OK— let me put on the hat of the council now. Mark —what else— Mark I don't know if you guys were live yet— but what I was telling Tom — I represent both PONC and GMAC, OK, so I'm counsel for both of them — so as it comes a time where it—where GMAC were to put together a proposal for PONC — because I assist PONC in reviewing those applications — I wouldn't be able to help GMAC put together their application — OK— let me have that right out front. Also, as far as preserving or putting properties up for preservation — I think you're going outside of the scope of GMAC. If GMAC were to find someone to champion it for them —that would be another issue. I know we've discussed — not as a board issue—the possibility of four more board members or current board members forming a separate organization and that kind of thing would be a perfect thing to be the champion of this kind of initiative. KID: This is Kalani. So can we get one list of all our commissioners that represent that PONC and can we work with them individually and have them present it, right? CM: No. It's like you're trying to individually lobby judges. MB: So but easements or conservation easements and other easements are acceptable to PONC? CM: That is one of the things that PONC is authorized to look at for a recommended purchase, yes. It's just that they've never done it yet. DY: So if I understand you, what you've said, GMAC as a body cannot nominate? CM: See —when you look at the charter of GMAC — see —we'll call it the charter of GMAC - because it's in the charter— it says GMAC —their job is to advise state, federal and county agencies on matters pertaining to access, hunting, cultural resources, that kind of thing. But, so, that's how 6
