C. House Committee
1. Long Term Renters
If a renter is paying the current fee of $15/day, the AOAO makes $5,475 a year. If
there is a monthly fee of $250 for anyone that is a full time renter the Association
would make $3,000. If there was a one-time fee of $450, the Association would lose
a little over $5,000 a year.
On motion of John Mullen, seconded by Dick Schweickert, the Board unanimously
approved renters that stay 30 or more nights to be charged a monthly resort fee of
$250/month pro-rated based on the $250 beginning April 1, 2015.
2. Parking – Speedi Shuttle
Speedi Shuttle proposed an agreement in which would provide HBR a commission
of 15% on SpeediShuttle and Arthur’s Limousine reservations booked through a
portal that would be made available on HBR’s website. Commissions would be
calculated on the Base Fare, before taxes and fees and are earned when the
transfer is complete.
On motion of Joan Bettencourt, seconded by Dick Schweickert, the Board
unanimously approved a contract with SpeediShuttle, which Mike Rembis will sign.
The certificate will be signed upon review and acceptance of their documentation
on insurance.
3. Bicycles for the resort
It is a Grand Pacific standard to have bicycles available on property. Jim has
gathered quotes for cruisers. In addition to the quotes obtained for the bicycles
themselves, helmets and bicycle locks would also need to be purchased. Joan
recommended a cap of $1800 for all of the bicycle expenses. There was concern
regarding liability and maintenance on the bicycles. It is not a GPR requirement to
have bicycles on property.
Action Item: Management to speak with the Pool Cave vendor regarding bicycle
rentals on the property. If the Board decides to pursue, then the bicycle discussion
will be added as an agenda item to the next meeting.
D. Facilities Committee Report
1. Spalling
The spalling project that was approved at the last meeting for the 4000 building
was over budget by approximately $10,000.
2. Tennis Courts
The lower courts required additional maintenance as they were in the worst
condition. The hard courts will last longer than originally expected. Work on the
4
back parking lot is anticipated to begin April 13, 2015. A charity event will be held
on May 9, 2015 to celebrate the completion of the tennis court remodel.
Action Item: Scott to send out a reminder to Owners and Renters two weeks prior
to the start of construction.
Peter Burwash’s agreement expires June 2015. Mike Rembis renewed a two year
agreement that can be cancelled at any time without cause with 90 days notice.
Action Item: The tennis program will remain on the agenda for the May meeting.
The Board will review the contract and renegotiate if necessary.

Two large fans from Home Depot are being installed. All one bedrooms are
expected to be complete by July 21, 2015. Phase 1: one-bedrooms; Phase 2: Dryer
Vents by Shioi; Phase 3: In-house installation of bathroom ventilation in the twobedrooms.
4. Elevator Service Contract
The state requires HBR to have a contractor inspect the elevators on a monthly
basis. Scott has brought down the cost from $600/month to $300/month.
On motion of David Blank, seconded by Dick Schweickert, the Board unanimously
approved the elevator service contract for Mike Rembis’ signature.
5. AT&T Tower
The AT&T Tower is still in the preliminary stages. One site inspection has been
completed and the gathered information has been sent to their engineers. Three
preliminary locations have been established, which are furthest from homes. There
are at least three more site inspections before a contract will be presented.
6. Beachside Roofing
The roofing project has been complete including the BBQ area at the lower pool,
laundry rooms and tennis shop. The only roof that is not complete is Happy Talk,
which is not a responsibility of HBR as Jimit owns the roof.
7. Kaba Key Cards
Scott is still waiting on information from KABA keycards. They are shipping out on
March 27, 2015 and are scheduled for installation on April 20, 2015.
8. Pool Bar
Avery is working on obtaining the permits for the pool bar. Management has
received some bids for the electrical and plumbing of the pool bar. There will not be
a final cost until Avery can get the clarification on some items from the county.

On motion of Dave Blank, seconded by Dick Schweickert, the Board unanimously
approved the reserve expenditures for the pool bar in the amount of $25,000.
E. Finance
1. Reserve Reduction Chart
The Reserve Reduction Chart was reviewed and explained.
On motion of John Mullen, seconded by Fritz Leutheuser, the Board unanimously
approved the expenditures for 2015 itemized in the table attached to these
minutes.
2. PSI Invoicing
Princeville Solar, Inc. will be charging 55,494 kwh at $.3434/kwg. Management is
hoping to get PSI on an automatic payment so each charge will not have to be
approved by the Board.
Action Item: Scott to clarify whether the principal amount of $4,250/month is
reflected in the balance sheet.
On motion of John Mullen, seconded by Kent Oehm , the Board unanimously
approved the automatic payment of the PSI bill.
On motion of John Mullen, seconded by Geoff King, the Board unanimously
approved the December and January financials provided within the board packet.
F. Legal
Legal expenses were discussed with Bill Byrns including the eighth amendment to the
horizontal property regime, the second amendment to the Management Contract,
Jimit’s letter and the tennis agreement. Management is currently awaiting his legal
opinion on the mediation legal fees. Scott will be gathering information for Bill Byrns
for the switchgear liability.
G. New Board Members Committee
Brad Schultz and Mike Lynch are new candidates to be considered for election onto
the HBR AOAO Board.
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. Health Insurance Commission
Dick Schweickert clarified a question regarding the broker’s commission billed for the
current health insurance policy. HMSA, the current carrier, requires the employer to
pay the broker commission directly, instead of including the commission in the
premium.
6
B. Property and Casualty Insurance Renewal
The renewal takes place on May 1, 2015. Dick Schweickert has recommended shortterming the policy this year from May 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and renewing it
on January 1, 2016 to coincide with the fiscal year. If there are increases in value midMay, that effects the budget for the balance of the year. The AOAO is currently at
$275 per square foot, the Board would like to see $300 per square foot as the
replacement cost for all of the buildings. The AOAO and VOA have contributed a large
amount of funding into the renovations of all units, which is Business Personal
Property and should reflect an increase in those values. It was recommended to
increase the Business Personal Property to $9,000,000.
VI. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Owner Forum/Correspondence
There was no Owner Forum or correspondence.
