Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes — June 20, 2016 TL: So another group outside of DLNR could do the same thing to undo this? CY: Sure. TL: OK. Would that be something that — at this point you have a lot of unhappy people because and I can testify to this that DLNR and or maybe the board does not listen to their constituency. I have a stack of signatures — about 2,000 people on Puu Makaala, for example, that were disregarded completely, I mean, it just, and there's no significant impact statement where obviously it made a huge impact to an awful lot of people. And, you know, you're abandoning these constituencies when you should be serving them, I would think, right? CY: Tom, you asked me to come here to talk to you about this Kaupulehu, and I'm happy to do that but, ah, you know, I can't, I don't want to sit here and talk about every issue that comes up with the DLNR and if you're talking — if you're saying that, ah, we're not listening to people — there were a heck of a lot of people and are a heck of a lot people who are strongly in favor of this proposal — I understand — it's not that I — and I understand that there are people who are against it — I'd hear that — it's not that I didn't hear that — I heard it.

Say two years from now, three years from now — it doesn't work — how do we get it to be changed or stop? . CY: There is a five-year review that's gonna happen at the Board level — like where Aquatic Resources has to have a review. Basically in order to change this rule before the ten years is up — it would be an administrative rule change — that's how it would be done. KD: OK. Cause see my whole thing is we looking at this area as the so called being impact — been my area going get impact you going be problems, you, for making that kind decisions, even though you one volunteer for 17
