Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2019 TN: Yeah, I know we support them, but because it’s 2019 it’s a new legislation – do we need a letter from GMAC to keep supporting on these bills? SM: This is Stanley – I think that’s why she went down – representing GMAC – and then... TN: Yeah, but they didn’t see every legislator so we need to have our voice on every legislator’s desk that GMAC supports these bills – that Nani supported – you know what I mean? I mean... I mean if you don’t have something on paper saying we the GMAC Committee support these bills – then it goes over their head because there’s 25,000 bills at the legislation, you know, and so they need something concrete. MH: I also would just like to make a point of order that you need to get approval from the Mayor – if you’re gonna write a letter as a Commission – it needs to be approved by the Mayor. BKK: So does anybody want to send a letter in support to some of these bills to send to Mayor Kim first and then... TN: It should be from the Legislative Committee. BKK: And then – work it to the Legislative body in the State? NP: I can do that. TN: Do we need a motion for that or we can just have a... NP: Should I write a letter and present it at our next meeting? BKK: It might be too late by then... NP: Time is of essence... BKK: So I recommend maybe there should be a motion on the table. GD: George here – can we give a certain committee the power to do that so... BKK: We could refer it to the Legislative Committee maybe and then go from there. So is there a motion for the Legislative Committee to. NP: I’d like to make a motion that the Legislative Committee address the Mayor concerning our bills to ask for his support. 30
