LT: Yes, sir. Just to make a comment on that – for the last five years I was sponsored by my <br />sponsor’s \[unclear\] for bow hunting, actually, so once you guys get that in order you can <br />let me know and I’ll more than willingly come up and check out these areas. <br /> <br />MM: Awesome. Thank you. <br /> <br />LT: Thank you, sir. OK. We can move on to the next one. <br /> <br />MM: OK. So, let’s go to Laupahoehoe boat ramp, some real, good news – we met with Army <br />Corps of Engineers two weeks ago and they have sent their letter up to Washington DC <br />saying that they’re seeking approval for their 38-million-dollar project for the seawall. <br /> <br />RD: Oh, wow, that’s awesome. <br /> <br />MM: Yeah, so, ah, the head of Army Corps here in Hawaii signed off on the letter stating that <br />with the amount of money that they see that they can mitigate all the hazards – if <br />there’s any coral there that they can take care of that in the proper way, so they’re <br />asking for max funding and the Army Corps in Hawaii met with us and they said they <br />want to move forward with their project so that is real good news. That means that we <br />may be able to do both projects simultaneously instead of just doing the boat ramp and <br />then waiting for their funding to come through for seawall. We are setting up meetings <br />right now with our Army Corps to talk about Laupahoehoe Boat Ramp and they Kahaluu <br />Beach Park restoration work, so, once we have that meeting – what I can do is I can <br />shoot a communication to GMAC, ah, just a simple communication if that’s OK… <br /> <br />LT: Sure. <br /> <br />MM: … with you guys to give you an update and if you need me to come on to explain it more <br />I can this is really good news. We weren’t expecting that – we met down at Kahaluu <br />Beach Park and they just broke it on us to let us know that they had sent the letter off <br />saying that 38 million – the 38 million dollars project is something that they want to <br />move on and we already have our funding on our side for the boat ramp and we are <br />doing our scope of work in house already for that so… There’s nothing – I don’t think <br />that there’s going to be much holding us back once they get their final approval. <br /> <br />LT: All right. Mahalo. <br /> <br />MM: You’re welcome. And so, any questions about Laupahoehoe Boat Ramp or Seawall that I <br />can try to address for you guys? <br /> <br />RD: Ah, Chair, I have a question. Maurice, ah, it’s not so much a question it’s just a big <br />mahalo to you and Parks & Rec and everybody who worked on this – the County, the <br />Mayor, that’s really great news. Thank you very much. <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
