June 18, 2024 - GMAC Minutes actually referred to us by the Council Member from District – 2, so that they, I guess they wanted to hear what she had to say as well. SW: Chair Kimball, yeah… LT: Chair Kimball. SW: So, you could come to the front… LT: Yes, ma’am, aloha. You can come right here, anywhere you can get on the camera, or you know… Thank you for coming and presenting today so we all can learn, you know, this is a plan proposed to Puna, and a lot of the people in Puna don’t really have experience. The district is – a lot of people are moving in – buying property from around the world – fences are going up and so this was a part of the mock plan that they came up with and we’re trying to just educate the community on their task force that they created and the measures that they, you know, potentially could take. So, thank you. SW: So, I’m sorry, she needs to log in so that she can share her – my understanding is she has a PowerPoint… KL: I do, and I just wanna thank you all for showing up and if ever that was proof of why I need to be here. Those were the comments, so thank you for showing up. OK, let’s see. LT: Aloha everyone, like I said, before I mentioned – the GMAC Commission – we talked about HogStop two years ago, we decided that we as a Commission we don’t support HogStop. We don’t support any kind of, you know, control over our wild game animals. We are a pro-wild game commission. We’re started to protect our wild game. A lot of the people are part of the Commission we eat the animals that are out there – and so I just wanted to let everyone know that the views and opinions here are not of the Commission. We already have the statement that we wrote in July 19, 2022. It’s a part of our package if you guys go on top of the County website with GMAC you guys can find this letter, and I just wanted to make that know that GMAC, you know, we support for pro game animals, so thank you. 5. PRESENTATION: a. Stephen Holmes, representative from Sierra Club Hawai’i Island Group, presenting “Clean Water Act Enforcement and Policy Implications”. b. Kaui Lucas, representative from Kaulike Project, presenting education of “HogStop and the science behind its efficacy as a contraceptive for feral ungulates”. KL: I’m Kaui Lucas, I live on Oahu. Born and raised there. The sole distributor for Hawaiian Islands for a product called HogStop. None of which I have sold so that was somebody’s question, and I haven’t pursued it because the dis-information that came out two years ago was so violent I 11
