Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 27, 2017 TL: OK. Conditions and restrictions – we could have something for you within a month and that would give them then time to be distributed to the state commission. JC: I think it’s very possible and that’s a great strategy to get started – get something together – get it to Jon and to Ryan – I think when the commissioners do come together in August they’ll be bringing forth their priorities of people that they spoke with and if those are the priorities chosen then we can plunge right in and get those working – I know Shaya is very interested in working on those and has been talking to me about the process of getting started in its rule changes as well, so... It’s time to do it. The time is right. ll. State Game Management Advisory Commission implementation and processes. Discussion on how we work together? DY: What I just heard Jim say – was you’re sort of setting up this communication thing that you want us to talk to the state game commission members from this island and let them know – is that right? JC: Yeah. That’s probably the best – what I envision with the state – with communication with the admin – always welcome to contact me directly – that’s fine – but I see your first and most direct avenues towards that is either through the districts or through the state commissioners and they can - just the official line of communication is better, but... TL: In my opinion, the reason why we have a state game commission is to facilitate things like this. We are on the same table and it working together to facilitate things quickly. Let’s shoot for like in December TN: If this dates back since 2007 all the way up to 2015 – what has this DOFAW group done so far and if anything at all has happened – and I’d like to see it done before December because if we have to go through legislation – I’d like it be prepared for the next legislation process - so I think a October date and one November date would be wise. ‘Cause if there should be any drastic changes to the rules we’d like to push it through this upcoming legislation session. They’ve had all these years to work on it – I’m so confused at the timeline that has passed and nothing’s been done by this department – it baffles my mind that none of this has been worked on – even with previous community input – understandable that the equipment may have changed – they’ve been updated and all of that is material – but the written rules itself wouldn’t you have something already drafted if this has been ongoing since 2007 – your department, your administration, your staff help might have done something 13
