Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 17, 2017 bathrooms, you’ve got rooms, you’ve got gun ranges, you’ve got overhead cover – you got target sheds. You don’t have to fabricate anything – all you have to do is make an agreement with Hawaiian Homelands... TL: A lot easier said than done... R: My name’s Robert, they’re just re-doing the drag strip down there – put a lot of money into it. Hawaiian Homelands goes from the airport clear down to King’s Landing. There’s a lot of property down there. You can certainly make an agreement to get a lease from those people to go ahead and use the existing range that is there – you’d save a lot of money. DY: My comment would be this – we would certainly check that before we did anything but I think there are some questions about the land and the use of the land. We’ve already had the councilperson from that area raise issues about a composting facility on that land – so, I think we have to ask and see what’s happening and by the way they’ve not released the lease for Kipuka Ainahou, right? So, you know, they’re looking at their land or their capital assets and, and we’d have to go in there and ask, OK. KD: You know, I gotta voice this stuff, I mean, if you ever worked with Hawaiian Homes you get so many litigations that it’s not going be funny, I mean, gentlemen – people – you guys gotta see what’s going on in it – you get one military person that is giving facts about years out – accomplishments up on the mainland – you get one guy here tellin’ he’s with – he’s dotting his i’s and crossing his t’s – you got one guy offering scholarships – get together – you get the police department – you get one centered place – he’s just asking for material – county – now is the time for get up your guys council members – get ‘em in action – get ‘em approved. Did we – we already get county workers maintaining the Mauna Kea State Park – what is just one two-mile away for go service up the bathrooms or what have you – that the military just gonna be open arms – you say what? And we going just do this – this guy can facilitate – you can facilitate – I mean, it’s unbelievable. Hawaiian Homes – no sense – we cannot even put Hawaiians on the land – you think you guys go get that? I just telling the truth, guys. I deal with that more than any of you guys. I see one win-win situation, I mean, if you guys – nobody can see that I don’t know what to say. Federal like give the land with certain. If we gotta hit up our county council – if I gotta fly Honolulu, which I every time do with legislation, right now coming up this session – and hit up the senators for - eh, come on here – look at this. All we like is funding. And why not make it one of the best facilities possible. \[Technical difficulty – line dropped\] 33
