Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes —October 27, 2014 Chair Lodge: Oh, I know, I appreciate that. We don't want to be off in hand cuffs. M. Bartell: So a thought, right, if we had a — during session — right— leading up to and during session — if we had more of the members of the legislative sub- committee do an update of, you know, reasonably detailed update of actions taken, decisions made blah, blah, blah, blah to the rest of GMAC I think that's an important thing, because Ike is trusting us — but at least he may or may not depends on how he votes on this dog gone thing — and so is Willie-Joe, and so is Paul and so is Kalani. So I think Tom during session that that's almost a mandatory, yeah. Chair Lodge: Well, yeah, we have committee reports that— every meeting that we have —which would be at the time to, you know, bring that to bare and so that people know what we've done — there's a committee report. Not that there's anything that the commission needs at that point for discussion we can move forward with no emotion to do whatever we need to. Ok, so where were we with our motion everybody? Action: T. Sylvester moved 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; seconded by D. Yoshina; Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Chair Lodge: Along with that we also have standing and ad hoc committees that are created every once in a while for special items and right now we have a committee for access issues and we have committee for the outdoor heritage I think right now. And there may be other things that come up that require a special ad hoc committee and I'm moving or suggesting that the commission again secure approval of the commission — the GMAC — to give powers to those various standing ad hoc committees to negotiate, advise, seek resolution to items that are subject to committee referral —we say hey take care of this that someone brought up to the commission — that they be able to take care of it unless it requires, you know, some major action on behalf of the commission. That if they can resolve an issue in the committee itself that they just go ahead and take care of that. W. Camara: As far as I understood that's what the committees already does, I mean, that's what we already said when we made the committees, right, is to do all of that, so I don't understand. Chair Lodge: I just want to make sure that we know that we have the authority to do that. W. Camara: OK. 37
