Game Management Advisory Commission <br />Minutes, April 15, 2013 <br /> <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />D. Yoshina <br />: Sounds like a lobby group an organized lobby group. What are our <br />obligations and responsibilities of GMAC? Responsibilities downscaled to what these <br />guys want to do? I don’t know how we justify this. <br /> <br /> <br />T. Lodge <br />: To answer your question [Dwayne]: How I think that this will benefit us? <br />We have issues that we are developing. We have different things that we come <br />across, we have ideas and most of what we do will require legislative response for a <br />lot of it will. And by having sportsmen people in the legislature who are sportsmen <br />and there are a bunch of them. A lot of them are bird hunters actually and a lot of <br />them are fishermen. These people are already sympathetic to us so we can bring <br />them the issue whether it is DLNR, whether land or no-net-loss which was offered to <br />us at one time by the way of the hunters and was turned down. These are people I <br />think that we can bring them the issue, the legislative issue and let them run with it. <br /> <br /> <br />D. Yoshina <br />: What would be our role? <br /> <br /> <br />T. Lodge <br />: Our role is to bring them the issue. They are not out hunting and tramping <br />around in the forest and we are. We have our constituency who are running into these <br />issues. This idea of the sheep, for example, why don't we have a place to put our <br />sheep? We're coming up with the ideas. We are the only advisory group right now <br />unified in the state - to me the others coming along if we're successful but we're it for <br />right now. We can bring them these ideas for them to run with. Cindy Evans is a <br />good example of somebody who has been helpful along those lines. I'm definitely for <br />it. <br /> <br /> <br />C. Bailey <br />: Add comment to Tom [Lodge]toward Dwayne’s [Yoshina] question - <br />when I introduced myself to Mr. Treharne in pen and in phone conversation, I let him <br />know exactly who we are and I wrote down the proposed ordinance number 12-110 <br />this body that we are and what facet we are and what we suppose to do. So, he does <br />know who we are and what obligations to the state and the federal and the mayor as <br />well. <br /> <br /> <br />M. Bartell <br />: A thought on how to proceed. I think it sounds reasonable, right? It <br />would be great to get Andy [Treharne] on the telephone with this group by ourselves <br />to explain in 15 minutes or less what this is all about, what he needs to make it happen <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
