Introduction of Board of Directors A brief introduction of current and new board of directors was made.  Appreciation was extended to Gus Gustavson who has volunteered to continue on as part of the litigation committee.

Margaret Novack– 1st Vice President

Financial Report The Profit & Loss report and the current balances were reviewed.  Jennifer reported that all bills are current and there are no pending expenses at this time.

Delinquencies  Instead of sending reminding letters, the Board will go out into the community and discussing resident’s accounts directly.  Block captains will be responsible for designated resident homes and will be available to answer any questions the residents may have.  Michele offered to organize the block assignments.

Lake Health Bob B. reported that the lake is nice and high.  He stated that the last opening was on schedule and there was a good exchange back and forth.  Because the berm had not been opened for some time, the water from Kawainui stream was stagnant. When it flowed out, it resulted in a fish kill near the Wanaao Bridge where Kawainui Stream joins Kaelepulu Stream. There was no fish kill in the pond. Bob further shared that some of the species of fish which were killed — mullet, ama ama and papio— have not been seen in abundance here in a long time.

Bob is working on getting hull identification of lake boat for registration.

Executive Session:

The board went into Executive Session to discuss the update/status of ongoing litigation.  In addition to the board, Gus Gustavson, Bob Bourke and Cindy Turner were also included as they are a part of the litigation liaison committee.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 pm
