Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2018 TL: We will hold our elections in March. MH: Yes, you won’t be surprised this time when it ends up on your agenda. TL: OK. Rats. OK. So we had another question on – Donna? You wanted the meetings on Monday, is that, because Willie-Joe is no longer going to be here so you don’t care? DUH: Well, initially, I thought the meetings were on Mondays and so we really just need to be consistent about the night or the day – Monday or Tuesday. TL: Well, the reason why we’re doing it tonight on a Monday is the fact that we were going to accommodate Bob Masuda and Chief Farrell in that they couldn’t be here tomorrow and, um, my personal opinion is that if I can accommodate one of our commissioners that’s what I want to do and Willie- Joe in the past has not had an opportunity to be here Monday without great inconvenience to his family and so this why we’ve been doing it on Tuesday night and I agree with that – I don’t know – but anybody want to... JO: I have a teaching commitment coming up Mondays – it goes from early March through the end of May. So Tuesdays is the only one I’d be available so. TL: OK. So, you know, Donna, we love you, right, but it looks like it may, we may be sticking with Tuesday for a while. TN: So, Tom, Teresa in Kona – are we confirming Tuesday, then, to be our meeting date? TL: Well, it’s easy to get a consensus here is Tuesday being a better day for everybody. TN: Thank you. ANNOUNCEMENTS Next Game Management Advisory Committee meeting will be held February 27, 2018 TN: Could we have one of our meetings bringing up hunters’ issues that hunters themselves come into our meetings? I haven’t heard any hunters bringing up any issues that they may have and want to speak about. That one of our meetings be dedicated to the hunters... TL: Well, all of our meetings are dedicated to hunters, actually. 21
