folks in a position where you could do some work on thatTrail where it abuts or crosses your property so that you can further that hope on my part? MOORE:At this point, Na Ala Hele recommended that signage be put up describing the Trail but also limiting access because it isnt traversible at this point. They recommend due to liability concerns that they do not provide public access at this point. GRAHAM:And, so, therefore, in the future if things could get improved elsewhere on the Trail so that public access could be, were still stuck with the problem that the Trail is not in a good, you know, its not in good enough condition to service public access in that portion which is adjacent to you folks property or on your property, is that right? MOORE:Correct. It would need substantial stabilization, reconstruction to have public access. You know, again, theres only about 30 meters, 100 feet or so, but it would need allthevegetationcleared,theredhavetobesomestabilization.Thewalls,portionsofthewalls are crumbled. Theres a little gully on the southern side where the stones have fallen into the gully, so its not in good shape right now. LAU:Commissioner Graham, you can see on the map on the wall on the right hand side in the preservation area which is the lighter-shaded area, at the very bottom, theres an area which contains the Judd Trail. So that would be the 35 meters or so of the Trail thats in the preservation area. GRAHAM:Right. But the bottom line of where I was coming from and all was you folks are not prepared to do any work on the Judd Trail, even though its not passable at this time? At some point in the future if it would get passable, it seems like we would already wish that this part was cleaned up. MOORE:Correct. Certainly, you know, getting the right personnel available, it could be stabilized and interpreted, reconstructed and signage put up that would give the public something, some coherent information. GRAHAM:Right. And far as the work on the ground, the stabilizing the Trail and all, is there some other party other than you folks that are more appropriate to do that work other than ? MOORE:Weve done that work but we usually sub-contract out with people that are more familiar with rock work. You know, we dont have somebody on staff, but weve done reconstructive work on similar jobs in the past. GRAHAM: And would it be, do you believe it would be inappropriate for you folks to do that kind of work on this segment of the Trail in this situation? MOORE:Well, as a private consulting firm, thered be a choice of, by the landowner just choose whoever he would like. But certainly our company would be qualified to do that as well. 4EXHIBIT C
