BK: Excuse me Chair, we lost Abel, so I'm going to call him...
<br /> LT: Okay thank you...
<br /> BL: All right for District 4 [inaudible] Pohohiki, we're on a roll we were too far ahead, now
<br /> there are delays on equipment that they had scheduled wasn't available sooner and last
<br /> time I was over there, they were putting the crane together and they look like they were
<br /> moving forward...so the. It's going, it's just slow now, we were on a good roll. The
<br /> inaudible...pigs are doing wonderful well, and as far as the broken water for the goats up
<br /> in the hunting area mile marker 18, is still broken after a year. Corporate Counsel can I
<br /> ask you a question? Is there any possible way the county can file suit against the DLNR
<br /> for not following the law we have passed. They were to provide adequate management
<br /> for our game animals. Broken water is a bare minimal, and we even can't get that, and
<br /> we got people complaining about the animals being on the road looking for water and
<br /> food and the State can't even keep the waters functioning after a year and I would be
<br /> interested if the County would step in and say this is a State Law you guys need to do
<br /> your job. As far as that, public access seems to be a big thing, back to that Cell Tower
<br /> for the Goat turning area has been closed, I think for the whole season which was one of
<br /> the prime areas lock and loading hunting. I know that the Golf course has been
<br /> complaining about the goats and everything, I don't know why that has been closed
<br /> hunting muzzle loading for the goats, when goats seems [inaudible] and we're not
<br /> having access areas where we can effectively hunt, especially for the handicap...it's easy
<br /> access, nice terrain...for the handicap hunter...prime location, and the county Kimball
<br /> your lady talking about [inaudible] to go to Waipio valley, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly,
<br /> for locals and everybody else. It was brought up in a meeting and what she would like
<br /> to implement. And I know we have had problems with access in the Ka'u area and
<br /> everything else and we've had meetings every week and I know we need to do
<br /> something, and if we could do something about public access to hunting areas and
<br /> everything, with the County and State, because I know the County isn't enforcing these
<br /> land owners, when they sell the property it isn't being recorded an easement, that they
<br /> are supposed to supply an easement for the public, either for the shores, or public
<br /> hunting areas, and everything else like that. You know, access...for everybody on the
<br /> island is being severely, we need to look into that. And I have three (3) months of notes
<br /> from these meetings...And we have fire seasons, we were having multiple fires, I
<br /> reached back out to our lady Jill, talked to our environmental guy and he just blew me
<br /> off...and I've just come to the conclusion that the County, State, the Federal do nothing
<br /> for fire management. We do nothing as far as what standard practice as far as the rest
<br /> of the nation, don't control fires, don't keep fire loads down, we don't do anything... so
<br /> all the government are hand in hand with all the fires we were having...and when we get
<br /> another disaster fire like Mauna kea, Waikoloa, and everything else, everyone throws up
<br /> their hands, and say, "how did this happen?", it's because nobody has done anything for
<br /> the past ten (10) years that we've been screaming about, we need to do something
