of the legislature. That bill got veto, I think not too long ago. To me everything is going to the governor for his decision. Abraham -Did you get your question answered Teresa? Teresa- No, it still didn’t give us the process so, we just have to look into it. Abraham- Yea you just have to call the boards and commissions office and see what they say. Thanks Teresa. 8. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Abraham – ok Announcements, hey Kanalu, you still there? Kanalu- Yeah Abraham- sorry to bother you but give a brief announcement on the live goat salvage at Puuhonua o’ Honaunau? Kanalu- I guess, I can review really quick what’s happening over there. Abraham- Yeah, because we have a big audience tonight. Kanalu - The Park reached out to us to assist with removal of goats from the Puuhonua O’ Honaunau National Historic Park. I guess their rules don’t allow them to give animals away in a live capacity but we do have a memorandum of understanding between our two agencies that allows us to assist them with the management of the goats and big mammals, and because we can assist them they asked us to basically help them distribute goats that they are going to trap to the public. So, as a result of that we developed that we will just do a lottery. Last time I checked we had 25 applicants. So the park will be doing the trapping and were just handing the goats off to members of the public who come and meet the criteria that we set, which is trailer size and taking a certain number of goats, so the deadline for that application is tomorrow and then we are going to do that th draw next week Wednesday and then on August 11 we’re giving the goats away. They anticipate somewhere around 500-700 goats around there, maybe a little more than 700. Any questions or thoughts on that? Abraham: Does anyone have any questions or comments for Kanalu on it? 18
