the islands – I just happen to know this island better than I know the others. Anyway, <br />that’s – that’s that and if I could take just one little bit to give an update on the feral and <br />wild animal – mammal issue – when I first talked to the group here it was moving target <br />– I felt like I lit a match and fuse came by and, you know, this seems to be a pretty good <br />interest in controlling feral and wild animals on all the islands and I had mentioned <br />David Tarnas having taken an interest in that and that he is looking – I’m not saying I <br />know – he’s looking to create some legislation this year with other people. He’s looking <br />for suggestions, um, I’m not real close to David, I like him, but I’m not, you know, like <br />tell – I just know him – but I do know that he is interested in getting recommendations <br />and the Cattlemen’s Association is interested in being a part of this and I hope that this <br />group will take its opportunity to be a part of it as well, so that’s, you know, it’s a way <br />bigger deal than me – I was just – I just found out about it early and brought it to your <br />guys’ attention. So thank you. <br /> <br />AA: Thanks, Peter. Any questions or comments from Commissioners or the public at this <br />time? <br /> <br />BL: Brian Ley - District 4. Basically, I guess, is what would you like to see us do? I know we <br />would like to manage the land and stuff like that but, I mean, what is your vision of <br />GMAC doing to help you get to where you want to get? <br /> <br />PS: If there were – Peter Simmons – just thinking out loud – but if there was a committee of <br />interested people from this group I can see if there’s a committee of interested people <br />or group of people from the Cattleman and HFIA to see if we want to start figuring out <br />just what you’re saying – I think it’s in a pretty early stage – we might as well – and <br />finding out, you know, the realities of those lands, ah, I think we’re still finding out so <br />that’s… <br /> <br />BL: \[Unclear\] Department of Forestry would let us get away with and stuff like that too. <br /> <br />PS: I think, well, we have Ian Cole on the…here <br /> <br />BL: Yeah… <br /> <br />PS: ….line here and, you know, so far as I know then that opposed to making proposals but <br />mainly I’d like to see the Legislature say, yeah, that’s what we intended – those lands <br />are supposed to be used for recreation and forestry. Now – what are your suggestion? <br />How can we do that and we know DOFAW doesn’t have the money and the resources to <br />do that so we have to be more creative, and maybe they will come along and help us – <br />we don’t know – but to start off I think that we get to know each other – work with each <br />other – find ways to back up hunting and forestry together – that’s not a big ask – and <br />pursue this together. That’s my desire, I guess. <br /> <br />AA: Any other questions or comments from the public? <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
