MM: So that question was raised and so what we did is we went back and looked at the Executive Order from the State. The executive order specifically says skeet range – trap and skeet. It doesn’t allow us to do anything else there. AA: Is there any way we can go back and look into and changing that order? MM: Change the Executive Order from the State? AA: Yeah? MM: Um, well, that’s something that’s gotta be talked about with the State, ah, I’m not 100% sure on that… SM: Stanley – District 1 – and that’s because that’s Hawaiian Homeland or? MM: State… SM: But… Where the gun range is – is it State land or County land? MM: So it was given to the County via Executive Order and the Executive Order specifically states that they’re giving it to us for this specific purpose. And a pistol range was not part of that purpose. Um, if that’s something that this group wanted to petition the State for, you know, where right not we have no intention of turning that into a pistol range. AA: Abraham – District 5 – well, not the whole area but just a section, you know, of that area would be great – that’s kind of like updating, so that’s something I guess we can look into… MM: Well, yeah, it would be… AA: Would you… MM: Yeah, it would be a change of the Executive Order which would have to be approved by the Governor… AA: Right… MM: ….go through the DLNR Board and all that… AA: Great… MM: If that’s something that this Commission wanted to petition the State for, next thing would be the money, how we’re going to do it and is that site specifically, I mean, cause we’ve got a transfer station back there – we’ve got quarries back there – is that site suitable for a pistol range – I don’t know those answers – I’m not an expert at this – I just read through the Executive Order that says these are your explicit – we’re giving you explicitly for this purpose and pistol range was not part of that one. 4
