Kanalu – So you guys, have any questions, like more details that you want from me, I can answer? Kean, District 2 – Kanalu, in your statement did you say you going to take down the grass to basically nothing? Or you just going to cut the grass. Kanalu – We are cutting the vegetation down. We are not going to make just dirt- but we are going to make it very short, we are going to use a brush hog, and mulch everything down to very short. Kean- How long will that take in your assessment including what you are using? Kanalu – We, honestly, I don’t know exactly how long that will take. We have a very small window that we can work with because of the different uses on the mountain. So really we looking at a month before the game bird season, where we are going to be available to do the work. It’s probably, it’s going to take a few years for us to get to the point where all of that roads are expanded the way we want it to, couple years. Kean – You answered my questions. Stanley – District 1. This is an ongoing thing, you guys going to maintain the Rosen firebreak all the time, or is this just one time? Kanalu – The biggest, what we claiming for the exemption, is to expand it. But once it is open up, then we will maintain. Yes. Stanley – thank you. Sinclair – I just want to ask - Somebody – I hear some background noise, if you are not speaking could you please mute your microphone? Brian – Kanalu, you guys have any plans on doing anything on the real thick dead vegetation up there? Kanalu – The thick Naio? Brian – Yes, I didn’t want to miss pronounce it. The dead Naio and thick grass. In certain areas it’s just a firebomb waiting to happen. I mean it jumps the highway that was a fire break, so it jumped from PTA into the game management, so you know we got lucky today, but it does not mean we will get lucky tomorrow. 3
