Larvicide – which is a poison to kill mosquitos, mosquito larvae, that report’s not been substantiated by DLNR reports with specifics. The other thing too is, there’s been reports that aerial spraying of herbicides is also happening on the mountain. It might be something of interest to find out just what these herbicides, how much and how the application’s going and taking a look at some of the details of this. Both of these would both seemingly have EA assessments with reports on exactly what they’re doing. That’s all I have for District – 1. LT: Thank you. Any questions? Nope? We’re moving – you know what property that is, I mean, maybe you can tell us a little bit more about that later, on herbicide \[unclear\]. Ah, moving on to District – 3. For District – 3, a lot of the big concerns are coming from the airport road – I don’t know what’s going on in back of the airport, or the mall area by the dump but it’s driving a lot of the – like always the pigs out back into the front of the entrance of the airport. Last week it caused a traffic jam. We had at the top of Waiakea-Uka a lot more people buying the properties up there in the last two months so, I think, oh, about a mile of fencing went in and it’s driving more pigs on to my road. Other than that, I spoke with most of the mayoral candidates about the water treatment facility and its pollution into our fishing village of Keaukaha – they all claimed that they have a lot of focus going into repairing our wastewater treatment that pollutes the water and, that is the update me for District – 3. Thank you. Next – District – 4. BL: Brian Ley, District – 4. A sustainable herd of pigs still in Puna. We’re doing really good, so we don’t have to worry about that – running out of food any time soon. \[Unclear\] And, I reported several months ago about an incident on Puna trail – Kololi Point – where some guy with a hatchet, half dressed, was threatening people claiming people he was a DOFAW officer and Jackson Bower said, ah, told the person that they would never see him again, but a couple weeks, months ago – I didn’t get a chance to share this at the last meeting – ran in to the guy, same place, same situation – screaming obscenities at her and everything and Jackson Bower went on vacation and is not answering emails on that one. Pohoiki ramp – I know they were supposed to start dredging on that – haven’t heard anything, \[unclear\] you know, it’s \[unclear\] all over the time on that one and there was a meeting with Dr. Kimo Sunday with a bunch of disgruntled hunters and gatherers talking to him about what he would do as Mayor as far as addressing these issues with – I know the one gentleman that was talking there’s a legal suit going on Hamakua Coast where some private citizens put a fence up, denying access to fishermen and the County’s not doing anything about it – it’s something the County should do – private individuals shouldn’t be fronting the money for a law suit with a guy that’s violating County code, and we were talking access to the hunting areas which the County has some easements but nobody’s enforcing it, stuff like that, we were just letting him know that there’s a lot of disgruntled outdoors people with the County situation with what they’re doing and not doing so that was my list of things for District 4. IKK: Let’s talk about that later. \[Unclear\] Yeah. See what I can do. BL: Thank you. Oh, one other thing. Welcome to the new Corporation Counsel. IKK: Thank you. BL: And I hope everything goes good and hopefully you we don’t catch you doing anything unethical like lying to us like the last person did on several occasions. 5
