agenda from the years before. So, I just wanted to bring this up and say, "Eh, we still working on it. We brought down from 800 to 400 words of mouth we are still waiting on the letter, and we're going to go back and follow up. I just want to give an update on that situation. Yes, sir... ?: (Steve Araijo) Could you get it down to zero? Listen up HRS 195 is NARS ... inaudible...This area is not a natural area reserve; NARS has no jurisdiction outside of their boundary. Do not give them jurisdiction because it's the first step to take the rest of the land hold it to zero because I believe that area is outside of the prison boundary which makes it forest reserve. Okay, you have a forestry. Forestry cannot give anything to NARS, NARS cannot give anything to Forestry. To become a NARS, there is a procedure. It has to be ...inaudible...it has to go through NARS membership. It has to pass through NARS commission, if pass the NARS commission, the Governor has to sign it or else the NARS commission is not enforced. NARS commission can not say, we want this", okay no matter what reason they give you, especially if it is a beautiful koa forest. Because the partnership that is NARS national park, Kamehameha Schools, Kamehameha Schools has about 2,000 acres of koa right there above that was the old Keauhou Ranch ???? they took the Kulani prison area Kulani prison area consist of 10,000 acres there are giant koa stands in there, I've been there. And in the old days, for you're guys reference, you could hunt in Kulani prison, no firearm, knife, bow or spear. Okay, hunting was allowed in it. So, that area should not have any other jurisdiction, but forestry and the guys' name is Nick Augustus. If you guys going give them 400 acres, you are giving them people's land, and they going take the 400, then in two years it is going to increase to 800, later on it going keep increasing. Hunters are going to lose more land and then what, going be like Palila? Okay, going take 100 years to get something back? Don't give them the land, fight them, LT: Yes, Sir, ?: (Steve Araujo) Fight them tooth and nails. LT: I like that idea of Zero! ?: (Steve Araujo)They took Kulani prison... LT: It'll really take support for all of us to go down to Zero! Even me, I'm still learning about NARS and how they apply their land. So, thank you for that. ?: (Steve Araujo) If you allow that, if you guys going go this commission to take back 400 acres, go give your information marketing, the hunters will be pissed off. LT: Mahalo...Moving on to Agenda Item #7—7A We have statement from the public.... 30
