Mr. Stanbro is interested in seeing <br />the Cohen property protected through other means. There is a <br />willingness at the state level to protect through acquisition. <br />Mr. Stanbro suggested that in terms of ranking "in priorities" he suggested <br />for our next list, which is due this December, this commission include <br />something that states "level of threat." <br />Commissioner Schuster stated having this commission hearing the <br />comments of the people who have the information is an idea, because this <br />commission doesn't always hear everything. This commission needs to <br />establish better communication between other agencies. <br />Mr. Stanbro further stated that the State has developed an application <br />package for the Legacy Land Fund which will be finalized next week. <br />Randy Kennedy from the Department of Forestry and Wildlife is currently <br />managing it. <br />Commissioner Flores requested to Mr. Stanbro that he draft a letter as to <br />what capacity the Trust for Public Land could work with this commission <br />and /or the County of Hawaii so that there is a clear idea of how <br />partnerships can work with and what capacity. <br />4.
