AA: (Abel Aquino) Absolutely, way too many boats and having your engine on and the props
<br /> spinning, people in the dark is really a recipe for disaster especially with one death
<br /> already. But, another possible solution, when the jet ski island, when the barge was being
<br /> utilized by the jet ski island in middle of Kailua Bay, we put some lights on there, ran it for
<br /> about 3-4 months, and we had a Manta population every night within that. So, we could
<br /> expand the industry a bit. We have the bay by, possibly put a mooring that has powered
<br /> light that lights up. Make a secondary, third dive spot at Kailua Bay. I know there's one
<br /> by the airport, that is also being used, not as bad, not as crowed out there, but it could be
<br /> another solution, then we'll have another spot in Kailua, issue those permits and make
<br /> them site specific.
<br /> LT: Noted that down...Ok mahalo very much, anymore comment? None seen, moving
<br /> forward...Moving forward to District 8 Mrs. Cortney Okumura...
<br /> CO: (Cortney Okamura) Mahalo chair, and welcome Commission Aquino, we're happy to have
<br /> you, thank you for being here and for your service. So, kind of link to that, former chair
<br /> Antonio sent me on July 1st, DLNR put out an announcement that DOCARE is now doing
<br /> Marine patrols, on all Islands, and one of the patrols that happed on Hawaii Island, was
<br /> at Keauhou during the night, to patrol these operation happening off of Keauhou Bay, it
<br /> says that they did numerous safety boarding, which they check the presents of required
<br /> safety equipment, ensured that the vessel were properly licensed and permitted. That
<br /> sounds like as far as that situation went. I'm happy to hear that this is going to be carried
<br /> forward and you have got some great ideas, thank you for doing that. So, anyway also
<br /> for awareness, if anyone that is interested, so you can just go to the DOCARE website,
<br /> that article is there for more information about where they've been patrolling and things
<br /> like that. And then, for ... I'm not sure if the public, if anyone has heard, there's going to
<br /> be some public hearing put on by the police department, where, I guest the public is going
<br /> to be invited to share our thoughts on the proposed changes to the rules of gun permits
<br /> and licenses, and the first hearing is going to be on Monday, August 11t", at West Hawaii
<br /> Civic Center, and the second one will be August 14t", at Aunty Sally Kaleohano Luau Hale
<br /> in Hilo. I can send this information over to Barbara, it was a public announcement that
<br /> went out. It does say that written comments will be part of the official records on this
<br /> and any comments sent in after the hearing may not be considered, but if you want to
<br /> read out there's link out on the proposed rule changes, I can send it to you guys as well.
<br /> So, if you are available, you can get your information from there. That's all I have. Thank
