<br />Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – August 25, 2014 <br />management plan for this island and I think that should be your number one <br />priority and you shouldn’t be doing any \[unclear\] with the state or bringing state <br />officials here to negotiate without your game management plan first. If you have <br />the plan done then you got to tell the state what they’re position should be on it <br />according to your principals and I think that’s your priority and I say to the public <br />who passed the resolution and voted the resoulti9ipn in that that’s what we <br />expect you to do and we encourage you and give you support to do that, you <br />know, anybody can go down to one computer and download a game <br />management plan from any of the 49 other states and work on one draft for this <br />Big Island and bring it to the next meeting and call up the Hawaiians and <br />practitioners and others to testify to that draft so you can improve it for the next <br />meeting. And I don’t know why that’s not being done, you know, we trust you <br />guys, you know, we trust you guys representing \[unclear\] districts to serve us and <br />do their jobs and if you do that I think we’ll \[unclear\] this hakaka between <br />ranchers and hunters and others and then using words like poachers and others <br />that make all the hunters look bad, yeah, I think we need to work on this plan <br />together and if we do that I think you’ll do a great service to all of us and we will <br />back you up 100% and thank you for getting the work done. <br /> <br />Man: I have some testimony. <br /> <br />C. Masuda: The next person testifying is \[sounds like Mel Griffiths\] <br /> <br />Chair Lodge: I need to comment to that last gentleman. <br /> <br />Man: Is that Tom Lodge? <br /> <br />Chair Lodge: Yes, sir. Tom Lodge. To answer your question specifically, a game <br />management plan has been addressed not only last year, it’s currently being <br />addressed again this year with the legislature. <br /> <br />Man: Can you make it public for us to see? So we can put feedback into it? <br /> <br />Chair Lodge: We have a game management plan that we’re asking the <br />legislature… <br /> <br />Man: Can you make it public for us so we on this island can look at it and give <br />feedback? <br /> <br />Chair Lodge: There is a game management plan already in existence that has <br />not been released by DLNR. We’re trying to get that document released and <br />we’re told that… <br /> <br />Man: \[Unclear\] not DLNR… <br /> <br /> 17 <br /> <br />
