Abraham- So basically we are asking the Mayor to file a lawsuit against the State <br />in regards to, what this letter is about. Can I have a motion to move this letter <br />forward? <br /> <br />Sinclair – Chair, Sinclair. <br /> <br />Abraham – Yeah, Sinclair. <br /> <br />Sinclair – A few concerns, number one this wasn’t on the agenda, to be, who <br />drafted this letter, is the question I have too, was that you Abraham? You got <br />somebody else? <br /> <br />Abraham – A member of the public. <br /> <br />Brian – Well I, Brian Ley - District 4, I suggested it to somebody with the recent <br />fire that almost took out the Palila habitant that since we have the meeting <br />tonight, let see if we can get a letter, we talk to Mitch Roth when he was a <br />candidate, about doing this and he said that it was a feasible idea, that the County <br />has sued the State before in the past about Ariel eradications. And you know it’s <br />something that was done before in the past like I said it has become a fire hazard, <br />I have friends who live in the surrounding areas that are terrified of these fires. <br />And like we said, you know, a good wind and we are seeing communities get <br />wiped out.
