<br />Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – July 21, 2014 <br />that ended at the Hilo Forest Reserve. Ron Bachman is the person at DOFAR <br />that has been consulted by the county regarding this issue. Why wasn’t this <br />commission included? We met with the county in May and this was not <br /> <br />mentioned. How do we remedy this? <br /> <br />B. Command will look in to the matter and speak with Larry Brown since this is <br />regarding public access which falls under subdivision planning. <br /> <br />A question was asked about any updates to a letter that was written to Mayor <br />Kenoi regarding a public access to the Kaiwiki section of the Hilo Forest Reserve. <br />The letter was sent because it was confirmed that the county was unable to <br />conduct a survey to mark the access route in the field due to higher problematic <br />priorities. Any process on this issue ended when Jordan Jokiel left. <br /> <br />B. Command said that he will have a conversation with David Penn who recently <br />filled that vacancy and see about restarting this project. <br /> <br /> <br />Wildlife Revolving Fund which is supported through Hunting License, <br />Stamp and Tag Sales <br /> <br />T. Sylvester said not much going on just the rehashing on what went on at last <br />legislative session. Current money allocated to the Wildlife Revolving Fund <br />insufficient for the department to carry on the objectives of HRS 183-D - The goal <br />for this last legislative session, although the bill didn’t make it in there at all – we <br />were working with DLNR. The $750,000 plan which started off as the <br />comprehensive game management plan that trickled down to $250,000 and then <br />it just died. Deputy Chair Esther Kia’aina who handled this particular bill has <br />moved on to another job. Jesse Souki has replaced her. <br /> <br />It was determined that GMAC will pursue this issue for a better understanding of <br />where the funding goes and who controls it. <br /> <br />Chair Lodge will invite Lisa Hadway, DOFAW Administrator to the next meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The meeting ended at 8:32 p.m. due to the failure of the audio stream <br />between Hilo and Kona. <br /> <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted by, <br /> Barbara Kossow <br /> Secretary <br />ATTEST: <br />Thomas H.
