Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 27, 2017 newsletter which I encourage you all to go and sign up for – so, I mean, we’ve been working off the plan. WJC: OK. It just would be nice to see what we’re working with – I mean, what we started with. WJC: I’d just like to have a paper in front of me to read. ‘Cause as of now, all I know is there’s this supposed draft that we paid fifty grand for but nobody has ever seen it but the people who got the fifty grand and DOFAW. I don’t know – to me that doesn’t sound very good for the public and that’s the first I’ve ever heard of the money involved with this but, so that’s why it’s kind of irritating me a little bit, anything would be nice. It’s almost ten years. JS: Excuse me. OK. This is Jon Sabati speaking. I was a volunteer on that working group and that was like almost 12 years ago – all the members that were on the working group were volunteers and nobody got paid so I personally do not know what the money was spent for. So that I believe we can get the answer probably from Scott Fretz. TL: I can give you that answer right now. The money was paid to have the draft compiled and it took a year to have that compiled. And Dick Hoeflinger was the gentleman that was selected to compile that draft and that is in fact where the money went as well as there was the other things that go along with it, right, worker’s comp and some of that other stuff that goes with it. So that’s where the money went. TN: This is Teresa. If the report was compiled and completed – I figure compiled means the draft has been completed – so that’s what you have as a working document – so that’s the document we’re asking to have a copy of... WJC: Correct. TN: And we’re asking if that is doable and that’s all we’re asking that it be sent to us. Thank you. DY: Just for clarification. If it’s possible to get that document and the new draft – that’s what I would like to see. I would like to see the original and your new draft, because I’d like to make a comparison to see what’s been changed – what improvements have been made – those kinds of things – if there are any policy statements in the original versus what you guys have produced – that would be helpful. So, you know, Teresa might be asking for the original document – I’d like to see both, if possible. Thank you. 10
