the light shines on them or in full view of the community. So when we put the rocks back in that
<br />corridor our break-ins reduced significantly. We were basically fixing that fence almost every
<br />month, probably twice a month and I want to share with everybody on this call – the repairs get
<br />costly. On the light side maybe $1,500 dollars on the heavy side, upwards of $8,000 dollars
<br />every time that we have to fix that fence. So, again, the last thing is – with the hunters going in
<br />their job isn’t to protect our site and I appreciate what you’re saying but the fact is that you
<br />folks go into the forest area, right, and that’s where you guys are – that’s where you guys should
<br />be, bad people still come in there so, you know, a couple of things again – we saw a marked
<br />improvement as far as the number of times that my fence got broken into – we saw that they
<br />dropped – while it’s not entirely – our cost to keep repairs going on at Volcano’s decreased, um,
<br />and then lastly, you know, as far as not allowing the hunters access, um, right now we’re just
<br />talking about vehicles – I am – I would more than happy to allow hunters to drive back there if
<br />we could put up a pipe gate and then, you know, you guys want to go and get access through
<br />the DLNR or DOFAW of whatever and be able to drive back there – I think you guys might want
<br />that as well, right? And then lock the gate behind you? I just don’t want it to be unfettered
<br />access and that’s kind of where we’re working right now with DOFAW is if that’s something that
<br />we can do then, by all means, you know, the hunters are happy, you guys can go in there
<br />whenever you guys want. Just work with DOFAW on getting the access codes. I have no
<br />problem with that – so that’s all I want to share with everybody. Thank you.
<br />
<br />AA: Thanks, Mike. Abraham – District 5. So, it goes to actually – it’s not just this situation but, you
<br />know, it’s just a wide comment, you know, the hunters/gatherers and even fishermen we get so
<br />much reprimanded because of like you said, of that black, of that – what did you call ‘em
<br />
<br />MK: Bad actors…
<br />
<br />AA: So, you know, we get – we in general get penalized and restricted a lot because of that –
<br />because of that type of bad apples, so, as far as, you know, that I just cannot stress that enough,
<br />um, we get so much restricted, so much areas, you know, because of the few bad apples, I just
<br />know that, and by you saying that that just…
<br />
<br />RM: Maybe, there’s a way that we could come up to set a satisfactory conclusion, you know, but the
<br />current situation definitely needs to change…
<br />
<br />AA: Well, the, thing is…
<br />
<br />RM: ….if it’s bad actors that causing that, um, you know, we all understand, um, but unfortunately
<br />it’s happened so what are you guys recommending besides the current situation. Definitely, the
<br />current situation is not working for us because like Mike was mentioning between $1,500-
<br />$8,000 dollars every time we fix the fence it’s twice a month it adds up.
<br />
<br />GD: George Donev – District 9 – if I may ask a question to Mike and Ramzi – that picture you showed
<br />– that fence is that your boundary to like the site or? That you’re blocked off with boulders
<br />whose land is that? Is that your land – the transfer station land?
<br />
<br />MK: That’s the County’s land…
