the mining of the rare earth minerals in the Clarion District – if you guys just Google about the <br />reef, anyway, this is a good way to bring up the reef and mooring problems in Kona with all of <br />the illegal moorings going on. If you just Google it – Coral Reef – it has to do with the <br />Laupahoehoe Boat Ramp, it has to do with the Hilo and Keaukaha boat moorings, it has to do <br />with the Kona moorings, and this is all due to reef destruction. Anyway, I just wanted to bring <br />that up and finish my report for Keaukaha. And the moorings that have to do with the canoe <br />paddling in Hilo Bayfront is sand all the way out to the break wall – and the break wall is our <br />shallow reef and so there’s no moorings – it’s all blocks on the sand – just so you guys know. <br /> <br />AA: Thanks, Leomana. <br /> <br />LT: Mahalo. <br /> <br />AA: So, yeah, Cortney, I think they had some things in the news that came up in Kailua Pier about <br />that topic about the mooring and the canoe paddlers and all that. <br /> <br />CO: With the race? Is that what you’re talking about? <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, they postponed the race I think for like a week or two so they can investigate… <br /> <br />LT: That’s the Hilo side. They switched it all the way to Hilo – they’re not even races in Kona, um, <br />and I think the Paddling Association is being fined like a real huge amount, so. <br /> <br />NR: Yeah, it’s all over social media. All the photos are posted. It was very sad. <br /> <br />AA: OK. Thanks. We had a public comment from Council Member Kagiwada’s office, Sylvia… <br /> <br />SW: Um, OK, this isn’t technically on the agenda, Chair. <br /> <br />AA: It’s a public notice. <br /> <br />SW: It says on the behalf of Council Member Kagiwada. We’re still attempting to find a <br />Commissioner for District – 2, to join you all, please let us know if there’s anyone you all know <br />who may be interested and available to join GMAC for all of the good work that you’re doing <br />mahalo. <br /> <br />AA: Thank you. So Leomana and Robert left already. If you guys know anybody else in Hilo in District <br />– 2, that would like to join the Commission please put in the application. OK. Now can we get a <br />motion to close. <br /> <br />NR: Wait, Leomana did you see my note in the meeting chat? <br /> <br />SW: OK, Deputy Corporation Counsel Sylvia Wan – I’m just going to let you know you shouldn’t be <br />talking to each other in the Chat. <br /> <br />NR: Oh, my bad. <br /> <br />SW: Because it’s \[unclear\]. <br />30 <br /> <br /> <br />
