Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 27, 2017 JC: I haven’t put one - they’ll have to assign that themselves – after they see the workload that’s in front of them. TL: Anybody else have any questions? DY: We’ve been interested in this for a long, long time and I would hope that the State Game Management Advisory Group lets us see it. JC: Right, certainly. DY: And so it’s rather interesting that we don’t even have a copy. And I understand about drafts and so if you have a draft then you tell us it’s a draft and we understand the protocols of that. So I would appreciate getting a draft. TN: Is it all right for every member of the county GMAC to receive a draft copy for those of us who are just recently on board – we’d like to know what it’s all about and see how it affects our area. Is that possible? TL: I would assume it’s possible. TN: Then I’d like to receive – I’d like every member to receive a copy of that draft. JC: OK. I’ll discuss that with the working group and the commission and they can distribute it as they see fit. TN: And what is your contact number so we can follow-up with this? JC: My contact number is 808.587-4187. TN: Thank you, Jim. TL: Any questions from the community for Mr. Cogswell on the Game Management Plan for the Big Island? Steven? Come up here and use the microphone. SA: I’m Steven Araujo. I also understand that a game management plan was written for this island, right? Fifty thousand dollars was paid from the Hunters’ Wildlife Revolving Fund for that plan. I don’t think that anybody should request it – it was bought and paid for through the Wildlife Fund which is the hunter’s license money. Demand it. Don’t ask for it, it’s yours. You paid for it. So this is my advice to the council – tell ‘em you want ‘em. I want ‘em by this date by this time. It’s been years everybody only ask – demand it. Get it on your desk in the mail, email or whatever. OK. Thank you. 8
