AA: OK. Thank you. Statements from the public on agenda items? Any statements from the public? <br /> <br />SW: Chair there’s no one signed up for statements from the public. <br /> <br />AA: Thank you, Sylvia. Moving on to Commissioner Reports by District – District – 1, Robert Duerr? <br /> <br />4. Commissioner Report by District: <br /> <br />RD: Nothing new this month. <br /> <br />AA: OK. Thank you. District– 2 is vacant, but we have a concerning issue in District – 2, up on Mauna <br />Kea in the DHHL lands. There was some recent contracts that was put out there that is now on <br />hold and they’re eradicating – it’s a contract to eradicate cattle, sheep, and feral pigs up on the <br />mountain. It is in DHHL land – it is a very highly resourced area – there’s till people gathering <br />from that area – gathering the carcasses for meat and stuff but, there’s people up there that are <br />just shooting ‘em and leaving ‘em for dead and that’s pretty much a big problem and I think <br />there should be a PIG created for this to create and investigation of what’s happening up there. <br />If you guys are in support of something like that then can someone make a motion to create a <br />PIG to investigate the eradication of the game animals up on Mauna Kea in the DHHL lands. <br /> <br />Action: Motion made by L. Turalde, to create a PIG to investigate the eradication of the <br />game animals on the DHHL properties. Seconded by Austin Griffey. Motion carried by <br />poll voice vote with 6 ayes, no nays. <br /> <br />LT: Leomana, District – 3, I’d like to make a motion to create a PIG to investigate the eradication of <br />the game animals on the DHHL properties. <br /> <br />AG: Austin Griffey, District – 6, I second that motion. <br /> <br />AA: Any other discussion from the Commission on this concerning issue? <br /> <br />LT: Leomana, District – 3. I just saw a couple of videos last night – a couple of people are posting <br />videos of just cows and leaving their carcass right there just to rot. Looks like some people are <br />going inside and shooting cows already and eradicating – I’m not sure what’s going on – maybe <br />I’m asking a question if you know more. I just saw videos last night. <br /> <br />AA: Right. Austin did you have a question or comment? <br /> <br />AG: No question but, I feel like we need to get the public more involved in this situation for sure. It <br />seems like no public ever attends any of our meetings. I guess we gotta spread the awareness a <br />little better on our end and, yeah, it’s pretty sad what’s going on up there – I don’t agree with <br />what they doing – eradication – it seems to be DHHL is doing that to all their properties island- <br />wide and that’s kinda their game plan is to – seems like reforest and for the future harvest is <br />kinda what it seems like to me. But I’m not \[unclear\] public I haven’t done much research about <br />it. <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
