Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes —October 27, 2014 right, ten and ten. The fees for the tags on the island of Lanai are gonna go up and I think they're going up, you know, some of them were $5.00 and they're going to $25.00. Non-resident fees are slightly going up as well. But I think it's something, you know, that a state game commission could really look at and as I've mentioned, much of this — I know it's complex but there's a statute and then there's the administrative rules and some things are in the statute and you have to change the statute. You can't just make an administrative rule to say something — and that's how we got in trouble the first we set fees at the Board of Land and Natural Resources — not an administrative rule — and that's where the lawsuit— where we lost that income. Man: [Unclear] tag fees.. L. Hadway: At this point, yeah, they have tag fess, but I'm not certain they went up but I'm sorry I don't... Chair Lodge: You know [unclear], excuse me —we're getting to the point where we have two other really critical things we have to get... L. Hadway: Yeah, sorry...It's on line, actually. Chair Lodge: OK. I want to bring up two items here for consideration of the commission. 5: GMAC — Items for Consideration and Implementation: Chair Lodge: One of them is the legislative committee right now has a lot of work that you're doing and they're doing a lot of work independently and having to bring it back to the commission to talk about. And I am suggesting that the commission move to give the legislative committee carte blanche authority to transact whatever we're doing with the legislature, whether it be rules, whether it be testimony, whether it be creating bills, negotiating like with DLNR on different things and to advise and seek resolution to items that might be subject, you know, to committee referrals or other ideas that we might have, but that the legislative committee be given carte blache to conduct their business free of interference — not interference — but just free from having to come back to the commission. Would you please...? T. Sylvester: I make a motion to secure approval of GMAC to give powers to the legislative committee to negotiate, testify and advise on all legislative issues pertaining to the appropriate legislative session. Chair Lodge: Any second? 34
