Game Management Advisory Commission Minutes, April 15, 2013 Page 19 So, working on getting the funding but tricky thing because they are trying to reduce the amount of people in there and the expenses but they are weighing it out by how many people are buying guns. So, I’ll tell you this as far as the annoyance and the inconvenience for not being able to register your gun on time, as long as somebody at the Police Dept. who has the authority tell them that you have a set date to come in or whatever, then you’re okay. Because we get registrations all the time that are not exactly to par, they don’t have a picture on there or the address is funky or something, and we still hey, the Police Dept. put it out. It’s not my [Indecipherable] and we just have to accept it. It’s an inconvenience not to be able to use it but as being prosecuted [Indecipherable]. Chair Sylvester : Next meeting looking at Monday, May13, at 6:30 pm same place same time. PolyCom will be fine. Under announcements, might not be the right area to do it. But, I want to talk about the County packet but I got two things one was that I talked to Jordon Jokiel, he is th anxious to be with us. I’ll schedule him on the agenda for May 13. He has information that he would like to share with us also and we can ask him questions. I think that’s really good. He seems like a really nice guy to work with. The second issue of a concern, I don’t know where we want to go with this, just keep in your mind, I’ve being approached by several prominent hunters complaining that there’s too many pig hunting tourneys. In fact, three just this past month. They want to know if we can do something about this. Don’t have to decide on that right now. Just think about that for now. And last, the County packet - meet with Lisa Hadway - she is in support in ways to work with us to find new sources of revenues for the Wildlife Revolving Fund. Find private grant opportunities, marketing and state directed money. Okay, we need to come up with ideas that secure funding though the Wildlife Revolving Fund. How can the County Mayor and the Council help us with that? We need to set up a meeting with Senator Kahele and Solomon to gain support to increase money allotted to the Wildlife Revolving Fund. We are currently discussing that with Councilman Onishi and Representative Evans.
