Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – September 15, 2014 minutes – let’s have an adequate and proper minutes and words that are that saying by the person and be on it – because I look in it I don’t see the what Willie-Joe said when I remember what I said and many others. But there’s none. I mean, so why get minutes if we’re not going to get the truth. If we’re not going to be the real minutes – words spoken by the people who testify then what’s this all about - why get minutes? Get minutes on what you want to put – what you want to put? Or the people say. I think if you’re gonna have minutes hereafter that the minutes should be concurred with what people said – this is why they come to meetings and give their suggestions and when there’s minutes – put what they said! Not just delete that. That’s what I find right here. And I don’t want to see \[unclear\] I don’t see any other things that right now I mean I like to hold my reservation until Lisa explain this. Thank you. B. Command: Mr. Chairman, this is Bobby Command. We’re taking minutes, we’re not doing, we’re not transcribing the meetings, right. So we’re not gonna have a word for word transcription of what happens at the meetings. Chair Lodge: We’re gonna have a summary? B. Command: It’s a summary of what was said at the meeting. I’m not saying that something wasn’t necessary or anything like that but I’m just trying to give you the difference between the minutes and the transcripts. Thank you. S. Hart: Steve Hart, Big Island Bird Hunters. The agenda item I’d like to address at this point is the new County Mauna Kea Recreation area cabins and restroom facilities. I’ve looked up the charter for the County parks and everybody I hope has got a copy of it now – and the first one I think I had on there was places prohibited to animals including dogs and cats and the exact wording in the County Charter is except as otherwise provided it shall be unlawful for any person to take or permit any dog, cat or other domestic animal whether loose or on a leash or in restraint on or about any County beach parks, Mauna Kea Recreation area is nowhere near a beach as far as we can get. I don’t know how the interpretation would be when the County’s actually involved with up keeping the park but at the current time, if we run our dogs pre-season if it gets interpreted other than what’s written here we can be in violation of the law by stopping to use the restroom facility with our training dog inside the vehicle. My discussion on this one particular point is to ask this commission to please advise the County Council and the Mayor that there needs to be written stipulation that would exclude this part from the domestic animal and if you want to be specific about which ones it could be actually written into as dog or cat or whatever such is – you may feel would be reasonable. Next, on the other page, this is again from Parks and Recreation – Section 15-12. Weapons Restricted. In recreational areas the use and possession of all firearms or other implements designated to discharge missiles which area capable of destroying animal life shall conform with all applicable federal, state, and county laws. Such firearms and other implements shall not be used in a manner so as to endanger persons or property 5
