Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – August 25, 2014 C. Masuda: Chair, the next testifier is Stephen Arullo. Mr. Arullo is not \[unclear\] the next testifier is Kerri Marks. K. Marks: Oh, hi, everybody. I have a general comment on the entire agenda and it’s entirely missing from the laserfiche system. I also have to comment on \[unclear\] support \[unclear\]. This is not the only connection to software because the room was too small and too hot and the equipment didn’t work so the meeting started late and people left and got disenfranchised. I did not take issue with the hunting commissioner at all but the staff that is recording \[unclear\] a lot. None of these agendas are available on Laserfiche until after the meeting. For tonight’s meeting there was some confusion about whether we were to meet in this room – Puna Conference room – or the Aupuni Conference \[unclear\]. There was never posted in a public place other than the bulletin board outside this building for anyone to check on them. So I am requesting Bobby Command to make sure that the staff makes sure that all minutes, agendas, and any other pertinent documents are posted in a public place so that the public has access to them. That is all. Mahalo. Chair Lodge: Thank you \[unclear\]. C. Masuda: Next one is Richard Onishi. C. Masuda: Next one is Speedy Birdfeld. C. Masuda: Next one is Gary Thomas? C.

So my \[unclear\] question to the board is if there’s any way you can bring some fees on them – should they get caught, or even if the hunters see \[unclear\] please report it to the police officers and tell them \[unclear\]. In this day and time \[unclear\] backwards instead going forward. I need help, and I could use some help, any kind of help. And that’s why I’m here. Chair Lodge: Thank you. That is something that we will address actually. C. Masuda: Ryan Kohatsu R. Kohatsu: \[Unclear\] thank you for coming here. You know I appreciate what DOCARE has done \[unclear\] officers so I appreciate – I was getting at – my question – would be – based on the \[unclear\] Robinson out there – there are only 12
