RE: A Resolution Requesting that the State Department of Land and Natural
Resources Abandon any Effort and/or Plan to Eradicate Feral Cattle Within the
Honua`ula Forest Reserve Located on the Slopes of Hualalai by Helicopter Hunt.
1 move to amend Resolution No. 67-09 by inserting diacritical marks in the title so that it will
read as follows:
"A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF
LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES ABANDON ANY EFFORT AND/OR PLAN TO
ERADICATE FERAL CATTLE WITHIN THE HONUA`ULA FOREST RESERVE
LOCATED ON THE SLOPES OF HUAL[ 4]ALAI BY HELICOPTER HUNT."
I also move to amend the first "BE IT RESOLVED"clause, by inserting diacritical marks so that
it will read as follows:
"BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that the
State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources abandon any effort and/or plan to
shoot feral cattle within the Honua`ula Forest Reserve located on the slopes of Hualalai from
helicopters as proposed; and"
Proposed amendments are in Ramseyer format, and bolding has been retained for illustrative
purposes.

Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL
RESOURCES ABANDON ANY EFFORT AND/OR PLAN TO ERADICATE FERAL CATTLE
WITHIN THE HONUA`ULA FOREST RESERVE LOCATED ON THE SLOPES OF HUALALAI BY
HELICOPTER HUNT.
WHEREAS, the cattle industry is an important part of the agricultural foundation of the Hawaii Island
and the industry is economically threatened; and
WHEREAS, portrayal of the cattle industry as damaging to our ecosystem further diminishing its
chance for survival; and
WHEREAS, the proposed shooting of cattle in recovered pasture land is unacceptably dangerous to
hikers and adjoining property owners; and
WHEREAS, the effectiveness of the mission of this program has not been demonstrated as valid and
this procedure is questionable at best; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that the State of
Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources abandon any effort and/or plan to shoot feral cattle within
the Honua`ula Forest Reserve located on the slopes of Hualalai from helicopters as proposed; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Land and Natural Resources work with the
Cattlemen's Association and various conservation groups to establish a safer, humane, and effective process for
achieving success in their mission; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall forward certified copies of this resolution
to the Honorable Governor Linda Lingle, the Chair of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, the Director of
the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and Mayor William Kenoi.
