a. Steven Bergfeld, DLNR, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) Branch <br />Manager, Hawai'i Island to discuss land easement for access and land <br />purchase. <br />Steven Bergeld —Aloha everyone, Steven Bergfeld from the Division of <br />Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW). Abraham asked me to talk about several <br />things, so I'll kind just go through the list that he gave me. One of the <br />questions was the wildlife access coordinator position and what is the <br />status of that, since Dave Pin left for another position. Currently we <br />haven't hired a new coordinator. Admin is currently recruiting two <br />positions, one is program specialist, and the other is a wildlife biologist. <br />Both position is funding 50/50 ...And that position Jason Omick will be <br />supervising. They will be taking on the activities that Dave Pin (sp?) was <br />doing before he left. Several accesses was asked to be talked about. <br />Barbara can you pull up the Honomu slide <br />Barbara- Barrett? On your end. <br />Steven Bergfeld — So this access road, if see the red line on the right side of <br />the screen just before Akaka Falls some white fencing and stuff and this a <br />County homestead road the green outline that goes up to the Kawiki <br />section the Hilo forest reserve and when the landowner just Makai of the <br />forest reserve does the subdivision proposal they were required to provide <br />access to the public. Currently, the status of that access is the landowner is <br />waiting for the State Attorney General and the County Corp Counsel to <br />finalize their Quit Claim agreement of the access road to determine that the <br />County as owner of the road. The new alignment will allocate a broader <br />access corridor from the top of the road to the forest reserve between the <br />gulch to the North and the old zig zag aliment to the south. The road exist <br />pretty much, you can see the outline on the map of the homestead road in <br />the highlighted green area, that hasn't been established yet, so, we working <br />with the County on their MOA to create a trail to the forest, once the AG <br />and Corp Counsel finalize their agreement. Anybody has any questions on <br />that access. <br />Abraham: Where are you guys at, just waiting for them to respond? <br />2 <br />
