Insurance Coverages: Greg informed the board that our current insurance broker- Matt Len has informed him that upon further examination of the renewal from Essex, it was found that an exclusion was made for anyone being in lake (i.e. swimming, diving). We are currently being offered a one million line of coverage. If we choose to get an excess line of coverage, it will be increased an additional two million.

Executive Session:
The board went into Executive Session to discuss the update/status of ongoing litigation. In addition to the board, Bob Bourke was also included as he is a part of the litigation liaison committee.
Continuation of Ongoing Business:
Kamehameha Schools DPP: Greg informed the board that our attorney Beverly Hiramatsu is looking at all of the documents and discussed the history of the lake being conveyed over from Bishop Estate.
The Lake was sold to the ELRA under the assumption that we would be able to do assessments to maintain the lake. The ELRA is asking Kamehameha Schools to help clean up the language clarifying that ELRA is the enforcer of the assessment. As Kukilakila does have some responsibility to help maintain the lake, Greg stated that he is planning to sit down with Kukilakila board to discuss assessments as a cooperative relationship rather than an enforcement standpoint.
Kukilakila Boat Ramp Dredging: Bob B. shared that Matt from Goodfellow Brothers would like to arrange for a meeting between ELRA and Kukilakila sometime this or next week.
Reassigning Block Captains: Michele is working on the reassignment of block captains. She encouraged the Board to continue to talk to their neighbors and ask their concerns.
Using Title Guaranty Information: Greg reported that he has the spreadsheet from Title Guaranty with regards to the home owners for the lakeside homes, wetland properties, associate members and Kukilakila over the past 5 years.
A motion was made to pay Title Guaranty $3,197.90 for the lot information. It was seconded and all were in favor.
Upgrade of Financial System: Alan informed the board that the QuickBooks Online Program was not as attractive as he had originally thought. He shared that billing must be done individually and not as a mass billing. He stated that the plan was to allow several people access to the data, but he is facing a lot of road blocks. He plans to figure out if we are able to work around the road blocks within a month.
Lake Health: Bob B. requested the board spend approximately $200 on water sampling from the lake.
A motion was made to approve this. It was seconded and all were in favor.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:33 pm.
