<br />AG: Austin Griffey – District 6. I second that motion. <br /> <br />AA: OK. Open for discussion. Any discussion from Commissioners? <br /> <br />LT: Do you know how manta ray tours there are? <br /> <br />AA: OK, guys, sorry, I missed a step. I guess we’re supposed to make a roll call vote so Sylvia, <br />can you make a roll call vote please. <br /> <br />SW: Oh, no, no, that’s right, I’m sorry. <br /> <br />AA: Oh, not yet. <br /> <br />SW: No, not yet – Deputy Corporation Counsel, Sylvia Wan. What I was just trying to provide <br />some parameters as far as the discussion – at this point because the motion for creation <br />of this PIG – the discussion should probably be geared towards the parameters of this <br />particular group that she may want to create as well as whether or not it should or <br />should not be created. That’s all. Just providing parameters. <br /> <br />AA: Thank you. <br /> <br />AG: I got a question. District 6, Austin… <br /> <br />AA: Go ahead, Austin. <br /> <br />AG: I kinda missed what was going on \[unclear\] stuff going on there, but Natalie, what is our <br />plan? Are you trying to put a stop to the Manta rays or permit number list of how much <br />people are actually doing it or what’s your game plan there? <br /> <br />NR: So basically what – the issue that I came across is – how can GMAC help regulate and <br />sustain the oceanic preservation due to too many people working without permits <br />doing, I guess you could say, illegal manta ray tours. So, they want to know if GMAC can <br />help them out by coming up with like suggestions through the county about harsher <br />fines – like a fine if they’re doing this illegally. Because you’re only – get they – the <br />county only gets x amount and that’s’ already full, but, yeah, down in Keauhou there’s <br />so many people down there doing it 7 days a week – literally like 24/7 so I guess I can <br />look into to see how many people are actually doing it and then providing that, I mean, I <br />really don’t know its just their concerns. <br /> <br />AG: OK. Got it. Thank you. <br /> <br />RD: Chair? Chairman, some further advice. I have the DLNR news release of October 27, <br />2022, essentially, it’s additional community input ahead for proposed manta viewing <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
