9. COMMISSIONERS REPORT BY DISTRICT: <br /> <br />AA: Thank you, Barbara. Ah, Section 9 – Commissioner Reports by District. Ah, <br />District – 1, vacant. District – 2, Leomana? <br /> <br />LT: Ah, aloha, District 3. Leomana Turalde. Um, I guess the only concerning thing <br />about my district is the Department of Land and Natural Resources or the board <br />is voting on water rights – having to do with Hilo – and holding meetings on <br />Kauai. Ah, yeah, that just, ah, I don’t know, that – the water in Hilo feeds all the <br />animals in Hilo and given the Wailoa State Park – the pond – I think this past six <br />months they’ve been doing construction if you guys saw inside they’re capping <br />off a couple of the wells to Wailoa. I don’t know how that affects our wildlife but I <br />know it does. Ah, yeah, that’s my report for this month. <br /> <br />AA: So is that something you want to put on to the agenda? You want to look into that <br />so we can put ‘em onto the agenda and maybe we can have more… <br /> <br />LT: Oh, can we do that? Yeah, I mean, I don’t, I’m trying to think of how to get more <br />information. Can we get someone from the Department of Water for, um, give <br />a… <br /> <br />AA: Yeah. OK. Shoots. <br /> <br />LT: Leomana – District 3. I’d like to put a discussion about water on the agenda for <br />next month. <br /> <br />AA: Ah, District – 4, Brian Ley. <br /> <br />BL: Brian – District 4. District 4 has been pretty busy. I had a chance to talk to Helen <br />Tupai – she’s running for Senate District 1 and Holly Osborne, she’s running for <br />Senate District 2, and Junior Tupai who’s running for Lt. Governor. I had a <br />chance to talk to all three of these individuals about GMAC, what we stand for, <br />what we want to do and we got a lot of strong support and they were really <br />excited with what we were doing and, you know, like everybody else there’s a lot <br />of people, I always assume it’s just tribal knowledge but, ah, you know, a lot of <br />people have no idea what’s going on on Mauna Kea and other places so they <br />were all excited and everything else like that so, you know, they made a pass at <br />Primary – so if they make it we have some good friends in the Legislative season <br />if they can get past November so – we’ve got a foot in the door and made some <br />good progress with them. And also, Abraham and I – we had a Zoom meeting <br />with Hawaiian Shores about the pig problem. We discussed some issues and <br />everything else and that turned into number 2 – Abraham and I met with the <br />DLNR and Hawaiian Shores and we went about checking access to the hunting <br />area from Hawaiian Shores cause we figure if we can get some better access for <br />the hunters to get in there we can keep the pigs down and they won’t be <br />wandering into Hawaiian Shores and from that Abraham and I had a lot of <br />25 <br /> <br /> <br />
