Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – September 15, 2014 how do those things get resolved. If we find out what State Parks did and making sure that, that was used as a template by the County. Chair Lodge: Oh, I was reminded by our Corporation Counsel not to end – we are going to close here in a couple of minutes. \[Unclear discussion not picked up by recorder\] Chair Lodge: Yeah, that parks issue – he is addressing and there’s a couple more questions that came up tonight that I’ll bring to him in the morning, to Mr. Honma. OK, Lisa, thank you. I appreciate that. C. Masuda: Bobby you want to open the Mauna Kea thing for just a second? B. Command: Two or three minutes. Chair Lodge: OK. B. Command: OK. I just want to read you a couple of things. Mauna Kea State Park will be closed for renovation starting Tuesday, July 1 and remain closed until further notice. However, temporary restrooms will be provided to accommodate the public. They’ll be kept open around the clock and located in the administrative building fronting the entrance. Shut down is needed to expedite the work and ensure public safety while the parks, restrooms, parking lot, picnic areas and other things are refurbished. Maintenance crews will be using heavy equipment to improve the park located at the 34 mile marker, blah, blah, blah. And then I have found the MOA. I’ll go ahead and send you a link to the MOA which is located on the DLNR website. I’ll just read you one paragraph here. So it’s State Parks consulted with DOFAW on the process of implementing the transfer, DOFAW staff concurred that the MOA is an appropriate initial instrument but the appropriate direction for the transfer should be set aside for the areas to be managed by the County and withdrawal of this area from the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve. DOFAW provided their informational concurrence with the MOA and transfer or management and land areas to the County through the set aside and withdrawal process. You can read the rest of this but that’s probably the most important paragraph. Link to MOA: http://files.hawaii.gov/dlnr/meeting/submittals/140328/E-4.pdf Chair Lodge: Essentially is what they’re saying is that the County is in control of that, so to speak. B. Command: Yeah. But you go ahead and I’ll send you the link by email and you guys can take a look at it yourself, if you want to put it on the next agenda, go ahead and we’ll talk about it. 27
