Mr. Imoto stated that 2 -3 years ago, the Legislature mandated that <br />state lands that are zoned AG land be turned over to the Department of <br />Agriculture. These lands have already been identified. His division also <br />had a chance to identify lands that they could manage under the Land <br />Division, approximately 80,000 acres. <br />Mr. Imoto informed the commissioners that monies are the major concerns <br />to manage and maintain these lands. Mr. Imoto indicated that possible <br />avenues for obtaining more monies for their budget would be through sale <br />of timber, conveyances taxes from water shed, and the legislature may be <br />looking at monies received in the forest reserve land income, (i.e., rental <br />of cabins, etc.) to fund their budget. Mr. Imoto indicated a shortage in staff <br />and manpower. Mr. Imoto also indicated that the State must be careful in <br />their selection of lands or property, as some of the properties come with <br />problems, (i.e., landslides, falling rocks, etc.) In the long run, the State <br />would be responsible to mitigate damages. Mr. Imoto indicated that the <br />State and County can work together by obtaining lands with the Trust for <br />Public Lands. The Trust was responsible for obtaining the Carlsmith <br />parcel and Honuapo. <br />CLARIFICATION ON APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />Commissioner Garovoy made a motion moved to further amend the amended <br />minutes dated January 23, 2006, as previously approved, seconded by Ms. <br />Schuster and carried unanimously by voice vote. <br />Commissioners voting ayes.
