Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes —October 27, 2014 Chair Lodge: And that we are giving permission or are giving you the authority to — if you have an access issue and you can negotiate it— do it. If it's something that needs to come back to the committee — then so be it— but if not— that's the whole — let's move on... Action: D. Yoshina moved to secure approval of GMAC to give powers to the various Standing and Ad Hoc Committees to negotiate, advise and seek resolution to items subject to committee referrals and other related committee interests; seconded by W.

There were supposed to be a bunch of hunters there's to give their ideas and their— let us know where the areas of concerns were. One hunter showed up to that meeting — so that kinda goes with what Tom was saying and also Ike is in line - I mean everybody, I mean, you know, when these people put this meeting and nobody shows up — so it's easy for us to keep complaining but I can't do anything unless I have the suggestion from the people. But anyway, it was a good meeting — I did — on that note — I did talk with David Penn about the access. One of the places is that area that we're currently working with — for the —with the County to get the easement surveyed —just in a 38
