New officers elected to the board. Berm opened. Lake boat needs maintenance. Meeting with Olomana Heights developer go over their efforts to minimize impact to lake.

Addition of areas eligible for associate membership. Change of Bylaws to allow associate members to be approved by the board. Discussion of the results of the Title Review and the actions needed prior to the expiration of the current Protective Provisions in 2016. Update on Lake health and the actions and conditions related to the Delta construction project.

The berm was opened at an inopportune time and flushing was minimal. Planning for annual meeting in October.

Title Guarantee initial report but still a work in progress. Annual meeting planning and agenda. Water main break.

The recent berm opening led to a large amount of water exchange and remained open for 5 days. The Lake clean-up crew has gone out three weekends and cleaned up some of the algae. Annual meeting planning.

There were not enough board members present to make a quorum, so an official meeting was not held and minutes were not taken.

Due to recent rainfall, the Lake elevation is at 1.9 ft. With the Siphon Project the goal will be to keep the Lake at 2 feet every month. There was a Lake clean-up on April 7th and another smaller one recently. The response to the special assessment has been good. There have been some positive and negative feedback regarding this issue.

Bob Twogood presented a proposal to the Board which involved putting a string of kayaks in the Lake at the Kukilakila boat ramp. Following Mr. Twogood’s presentation, the board voted with against the plan. There was discussion about the November Special Meeting and the criteria now before the Board to request the special assessment. New slate of officers for consideration. A new committee to review documents on membership as well as review and propose changes to by-laws. Recent fish die-off (including large barracudas) was probably related to low Lake levels following an untimely opening of the berm.

Per research into bylaw requirements regarding directors required to be Active members and the definition of Active Members neither Mr. Bourke nor Ms. Turner meets these requirements. Also neither Mr. Bourke nor Ms. Turner is an Associate Member since the Board did not place their nominations before the Corporation general membership for approval as required by Article XI, Articles of Incorporation of the ELRA. Their resignation was accepted. Clem Clemmer also resigned from the board. A new board members Stephen Kofsky, Alan Richardson and Greg Colbert were voted onto the board for the vacant seats. The water quality has decreased due to lack of water exchange with the ocean. The recent rain did increase the Lake level from 1.25 ft to 1.75. Bob B had a meeting with Ross Sasamura (new head of Facilities Maintenance) to stress the importance of opening the berm on a schedule. Recent dredging by the Lanikai Bridge will not help flush the Lake.
