CO: Aye. <br /> <br />AA: District – 9, vacant. Six ayes, no nayes, motion passes. Any statements from the public on <br />agenda items. <br /> <br />SW: Chair I just note for the record; I haven’t had any members sign on. <br /> <br />3. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS: <br />Chair Abraham Antonio welcomes anyone that may want to say something regarding an <br />agenda item may do so anytime throughout the meeting. <br /> <br />4. Commissioner Report by District: <br /> <br />AA: Thank you, Sylvia. Open to Commissioner Reports by District. District – 1, Robert Duerr. <br /> <br />RD: OK, quick update. We were able to contact the Army Corps on Oahu and they will be able to <br />meet next month to give their presentation for the Laupahoehoe Harbor update and the <br />second thing this regarding that myself and fellow Thomas Fratinardo, who former US Marine <br />and a retired Hawaii County Police officer – met at Chair Heather Kimball’s request to discuss <br />game of nuisance animals: feral pigs in District – 1. So, we kinda – the bottom line was <br />conservation \[unclear\] discuss was conservation and some kind of plan to, you know, know <br />where things are going. Heather Kimball is looking after the Legislature to convene a meeting <br />of the Legislators to kinda get on board and at that time what I’ll do is – when that’s solid – I’ll <br />reach out to the Chair, Abraham, and see that you’re available. A House Bill 1089 which was <br />privatizing the harbors, um, yesterday it was deferred and primarily to the efforts of Senator <br />Lorraine Inouye and as District – 1 GMAC representative I’d love to see a letter coming from <br />GMAC thanking her for this effort. Essentially, DOBOR was doing this without any public input <br />and with budget numbers that were a little questionable. The other news is that I got a notice <br />yesterday from DLNR communications that 41 DOCARE officers have graduated and 14 will be <br />coming to the Big Island and so there’s a broad range of duties for these officers – it might be a <br />good thing in the future to kind of like bring in somebody to give an overview – maybe meeting <br />the officers. <br /> <br />AA: Yes. <br /> <br />RD: Yeah, that’s all I have. <br /> <br />AA: So, um, for that letter. Do we need to put that on the agenda or can we…? <br /> <br />RD: So, put that on the agenda for next month. So two weeks draft a letter and then have the letter <br />on the agenda and then ready to roll… <br /> <br />SW: So, um, what you’re introducing is new business. So because you are proposing to draft a letter <br />supporting \[unclear\] because you’re the proposer I guess you could probably put it \[unclear\] <br />you gotta have that letter already drafted by the time \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
