The lake is relatively healthy given the stresses of the past years. The berm was opened just this morning. The lake has remained at a lower than desirable level and salinity is higher than normal. Last month when the stream mouth closed, the level was quite low (~1.0 ft) and the siphons adding water from Kawainui Marsh brought the water surface elevation up to 1.5 feet. Bob Tassie approved as new board member. Discussions with Kamehameha Schools about the DPP, other actions relating to DPP. Annual meeting planning.

The meeting discussed payments, negotiations and upcoming mediation related to the Delta litigation.

Modified encroachment agreement information posted to website, block captains meeting with residents, lots of cocopods in the lake and oxygen levels improving. Due to the siphoning project at Kawainui Marsh, lake is 6” higher than it would have been without the siphoning. City & County will open the berm tomorrow morning.

Discussion of best means of paying bills from the ELRA checking account. Discussions continue with Kukilakila Community Association (KCA) relative to a variety of legal and financial issues to allow ELRA and KCA better cooperation in maintaining the lake. Vote to change encroachment fees. Two members resign from board because of work conflicts.
Lake is relatively healthy given its recent history of stress, but lower in water surface elevation than usual. Excellent exchange of water from last berm opening. Salinity is higher than normal, water has been observed to be cloudy in some instances. Some complaints of bad smells and midges. Siphoning project begins. Fish stock appears to be good, including larger papio.
