Home

CO: Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to say welcome to our newest Commissioner – thank you so much for joining us and serving. We’re grateful to have you. Thanks. And thanks, Abraham for all of the amazing information you provided today, we really appreciate you continuing on with us as we move along. OK, a couple of announcements regarding some volunteer workdays. The first one is gonna be at the Kiholo fishpond and I will go ahead and send Barbara all of the details for registration, so that you have it if you want to forward it on to anyone in your community who might be interested. The Kiholo st fishpond volunteer workday will be this Saturday, September 21 and it sounds like you can still register and join, and they have these volunteer days once a month. The second one is Puuanahulu fire break volunteer day to sign up, so that will include some work on clearing and expanding existing fire break alongside the Puuanahulu bluff and th that’s taking place Saturday, September 28 and that’s gonna be at the bluff hiker check in station by the Country Club so up, up above the other entrance. So anyway I’ll send those details on – the contact information – to Barbara for anyone who’s interested. And that’s all I have for my report, Chair, thank you. LT: Thank you very much. Mahalo. Mahalo for that and moving on to District – 9. JA: Justin, District – 9. The only notifications that I’ve got are just some public service announcements. Pick up your brass when you’re at the range, regardless, if you’re a hunter, shooter, whatever, pick up your brass and your friend’s as well, before somebody shuts it down on us. And the other one is, ah, was brought to my attention as an avid hunter of A and G. There’s gonna be an aerial eradication that was not published on the website, and I’ve noticed that the last few times they haven’t been publishing. ththth There’s another eradication scheduled for October 9 and 10 and October 30 at A, G and K. The exception is this time they’re not closing down the Slice for archery. So, for those of us that like to archery hunt on the Slice it’ll be open and that is all I have. LT: Mahalo very much. That last one about the them not publishing it on top of the website – there’s a handful of people who reached out to me this past week sending me pictures about the collection and the Mauna Kea shut down – making that statement – it’s not on the website, it’s not on the website – I looked on the website, I couldn’t find it, so I think we need to address them and their publication and PSA with this cause it’s junk that we get it through the Hawaii Tribune Hearld only. JA: Yeah, it’s strange. TWC: Taysen, District – 2. I wanted to second that, yeah, we need to – all I say is - suggest address an advisory letters to DLNR just to updates on, making it public notice to where these aerial shootings will – when they take place – make it publicly noticed – other than just having on check-in stations. LT: Um-hum. 22
