Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes —October 27, 2014 nutshell — and there was a whole line of different areas — also some private property places that we had to explain to these guys that it's not really anything we can do about because they're private and that's it. The other thing from my side was just the concerns about PTA and eradications and I'm actually been having a lot of people call on that. Chair Lodge: Can I ask the DLNR a question on that? Talking to David Penn he said that Finance Factors is what we're talking about that property of Finance Factors that there was memorandum of understanding that they had agreed to and that was gonna have to be sent out to the different wildlife departments and I was curious if you folks had a chance — has that happened yet? L. Hadway: I'm imagining it's with the Attorney General's office and then if there's an MOU between us, the County for access — it'll go to the Board of Land and Natural Resources once the AG has reviewed it— so that it's matter of scheduling a board meeting. If there's only one board meeting in November and one in December— so I'll try and catch up with Dave on the status of that. Chair Lodge: Oh, very good. OK. Thank you. District 2? D. Yoshina: This is Ike Yoshina. Mostly I've also gone to the public access meetings. I'm going to try and meet with professional staff at the county to get some clarification on some understandings that I have that may be in error, but, so I'm trying to clarify that. I also attend the Na Ala Hele meetings and, you know, that's a commission that I think more of us should take an interest in — because they're talking about the historic trails — but there might be — I think there might be possibilities of collaborating with them to get, I hope, access to hunting areas and the fishing areas. So that's why I go to those meetings. I've also attended meetings with the PTA. I think one area that I've not done so well at is Iiaisoning the community and frankly, I don't know how to do that. I mean, I'm willing to meet with anybody, but just putting the invitation out there means that people have to contact me and if anybody is interested in doing that, come see me afterwards. I'll give you my phone number. I'll give you my email and you can contact me. I've had a few people walk up to me at various places to talk to me — I don't know who they are, right? And 1, you know, I'm not good at names anyway, so if you come up and talk to me and I act like I don't know who you are, please forgive me for that.. It's not that I'm not interested or anything, you know, I'll talk to anybody. So, that's my report. Or one more thing. I received this letter from the Fujiyoshis' a couple of months ago and I thought that we would be taking action on this, but since no one has — I'm gonna write them a personal letter, because my name is on this and I'm just gonna send it out and it's gonna be 39
