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.

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.

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.

The berm was opened a week earlier then the date Bob B had specified so the flushing was not effective and left the water level low. Motions regarding collection of fees, eligibility of certain board of directors and request for legal opinion.
