Game Management Advisory Commission Minutes, April 15, 2013 Page 14 D. Yoshina : I just want clarification since the public is watching and the motion need to be stated clearly so public understands. B. Command : So, repeat one more time the motion. D. Yoshina : Yes, in the future, up to now I’m good. C. Bailey : I concur with Dwayne [Yoshida] I always keep the proposal in front of me that this is basically an advisory position and so I try to make sure I’m always looking at that when I'm investigating something for some public member that asked me to look into something. I almost did bring up if we should ask if we should bring to the mayor before we ask anything further from Andy Treharne regarding this Sportsmen’s Caucuses. We're really not part of it. They (NASC) organize it themselves. It will be a tool for the public and the commission. We’re not promoting it. I just introduced it to this organization and asked how come we have no state representative. Chair Sylvester : Question: Lincoln [Ashida] do you see any problems in this approach. Reply: No. Thank you. Any further discussion? P. Bueltmann: Just some information sharing, picking up some different things mostly with invasive weed control. I have a report here. Sorry Mark [Bartell] and Cleon [Bailey], I’ll get a copy over to you if you want. The cover sheet covers the article course control and weed control with sheep and goats. One study was done in New Zealand and the other in Australia both similar to our area here. [Indecipherable] Invasive weed control is one with goats and sheep, pretty bad up the mountain. Fireweed control using the same thing, sheep and goat. One single solution, a cohesive management plan using both sheep and goats along with herbicide and other types of mechanical control. But just not one single solution for that, good reading and good ideas. We already know that sheep and goats keep down a lot of the invasive plants that are here already.
