Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – January 29, 2019 <br /> <br />GD: Yeah... <br /> <br />MH: Yeah, it can be but, yeah, on your own independent website I would have to <br />check our policies and get back to you on that. <br /> <br />Shooting Range Working Group <br /> <br />BKK: So for now is it all right if we table this discussion until the next meeting? So <br />the next committee report is for the Shooting Range Working Group. I’m not <br />too sure... <br /> <br />NP: So Tom couldn’t make it and he wanted to give a Shooting Range report so <br />he gave me a text to read and I can if you guys give me a moment – it’s long <br />and I don’t know if I want to read it all but... <br /> <br />BKK: Just and FYI – I did receive a letter from Council Member Tim Richards <br />regarding the Shooting Range Working Group. As far as he’s concerned – <br />there was no correspondence between the two and so I was hoping to make <br />some communications with him from the Shooting Range working group. <br /> <br />NP: OK. Over the last three months the Gun Range Committee has had a number <br />of meetings with Parks and Recreation, State DOFAW representatives. <br />Initially, DOFAW, Parks & Rec Administrator Roxcie Waltjen, Parks Project <br />Manager Jeff Ochi, and Parks Planner James Komada through a series of <br />meetings regarding the site selection of Puu Kaohe – just east of Mauna Kea <br />County Park and Facility adjacent to PTA. Initially, we – me with Joey Mello, <br />East Hawaii Managing Biologist; Dave Smith DOFAW Administrator out of <br />Honolulu; Commissioner Jim O’Keefe, Stanley Mendes, Tom Lodge and <br />myself, as well, yeah, I was there, too, as Past County Commissioner Ike <br />Yoshida and Parks representative Ochi and Komada. This land is DOFAW <br />land and DOFAW was in full support of this venture, unfortunately, there was <br />some communications misinterpretations of who would be involved in the <br />building of the Range and it was referred to the Board of Land and Natural <br />Resources where Deputy Chair Bob Masuda – Bob Masuda apparently had <br />forgotten the numerous communications and documentation provided him by <br />Commissioner Tom Lodge and nixed it as being palila habitat and the noise <br />was going to be prohibitive. \[Technical difficulties\]. <br /> <br />BKK: Nani, is it possible to summarize – we’re getting to the time limit... <br /> <br />NP: I guess the summary is that things are happening and Parks & Rec is working <br />on that and, of course, there’s opposition but if not the project is going <br />forward. <br /> <br />BKK: Does anybody have any questions for Nani? <br />34 <br /> <br /> <br />
