Peter, a visitor and HOVE lot owner, expressed his concerns regarding the extended use of our roads and the cinder pits during early (before 7:00 AM) & later (after 5:00 PM) times and on
Saturdays & Sundays. Thereafter followed a lengthy discussion as to exactly what the community could do to regulate the heavy trucks, principally Kona Cinder and Soil, from operating at the
aforementioned times. Steve directed Gladi to call Chuck of Kona Cinder and Soil to inform him of the complaints and to find out if he was going to continue to work at these undesirable times.
Also, find out if he would be willing to sign an agreement or at least verbally agree to schedule the company’s work during the hours of 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM / Mon.- Fri.
Old Business:
The “Abandoned Cars” problem was again discussed. There are several groups that are addressing this continuing problem and are trying to get our elected representatives and the county of Hawaii
involved in finding a viable solution.
Another visitor, Anna Young, expressed concerns regarding the HOVE road crews’ tearing up of the area of roads on Hukilau and Catamaran for six (6) months and not
having a backup plan to finish the road when the water truck needed repairs. The board assured her that this was an unusual set of circumstances and that the road maintenance crew would make
every effort to prevent the previous situation from happening again.
New Office Building — There was some discussion of the type of building we would construct but nothing was formally changed as to the content of the building. No new information was submitted
since we are still awaiting bids to be submitted.
Trust Fund Management — There was some discussion of our investment policy with Merrill Lynch as being too speculative but no changes were made at this time.
New Business:
Long Range Plan — Vern, Steve Graham, Gladi and Mac Kaupu need to have a meeting to discuss and update the long-range plan. They agreed to meet the following Monday morning.
Government Appointee Endorsement — Steve asked if the board would agree to send a letter drafted by Loren Heck stating his qualifications for his board position and possible appointment to the
County Water Commission.
A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to accept Loren Heck’s letter as drafted and send it to the County Water Commission.
Naalehu School Yearbook Donation — the board decided that the Corporation would refrain from setting a precedent by making a donation but that the board members could each make a donation
individually, which they did.
Board Member Resignations — John Villesvik resigned because he is leaving the area. Steve Graham resigned because the meetings were impacting on his work.
At 6:00. an Executive session was held.
A motion was made and passed to give a $500 bonus to each full time employee of the road crew; a $250 bonus to the Executive Director (since she has not been in the position very long) and a
one-time award of $500 to the Office Assistant for diligence and honesty.

total monies collected to date hut that he should receive them before the next hoard meeting.

been authorized to report to fires and accidents and to respond when their help is expressly requested.
Block Address on Street signs – The Board discussed that we do have someone who would be willing to visit the Hilo Planning Department and discover how the numbers are assigned in order to
investigate the feasibility of adding numbers to the Street signs. The Board suggested that the previous investigation would have to be done before we assign financial budget figures to the
project. The Board also directed the Executive Director to call the surveyor, Tom Lapera. to give us an updated process
report of the road surveying as that would also have to he completed before any signs could he permanently relocated on the roadways.

discussion.
Concerns of Owners - The Board directed the Executive Director to talk to Mac Kaupo, the road crew foreman, to find out if we need more signs or if we have enough “Caution. Loose Chip” and
“Dangerous Corners” signs in place and also to keep closer attention to intersections with dangerous conditions. Also, the Board instructed that if anyone should have a complaint regarding any
unsafe conditions on our roadways. that they should call the Executive Director or come in and fill out a complaint form and we will address the problem as soon as possible, according to the

Executive director: Steve announced that we have a new Executive Director and will be approved by the Board at the Executive Session following the Directors meeting. Rudy Kaupu asked what the
job description is and Steve gave him a brief description saving that the job is 2 fold which would entail the supervision of’ the road crew in addition to the office administration.
Minutes: The last minutes were approved as presented and mailed. General Discussion Forum:
Scope of Maintenance / Level of Assessment: There was as lengthy discussion on this matter. Steve gave some background information regarding fog seal coats. Safety was discussed in length with
the possibility of more warning signs on newly chipped intersections having loose chip. Also encroachments of plants and walls was discussed. The commercial truck haulers was also discussed.
Frank suggested that any one having a complaint should either come to the office or call and have a complaint form filled out.
Ongoing Problem of Road Encroachments: This was previously discussed but added that after our survey is completed. we would be sending registered letters informing lot owners of their
encroachment.
Ongoing Problem of Abandoned Vehicles: Earlier, the procedure to haul abandoned vehicles away was to haul them to our pit and the County would pick them up in time. This has since changed for
various reasons and now the police would need to he called, they would come and tag the vehicle as abandoned and after so many days. the County should haul it away.
Use of Block Address Numbers on Road Signs: Steve stated that according to Steve Graham, a map in Hilo has an address for every lot and it is public record. Currently, finding an address,
especially in an emergency, was difficult. so it was suggested we might have the address numbers contained for the block posted on our Street sign. This would not be a “road improvement” but
something to check on for costs. Personnel Action Committee: Steve said we needed a committee to work with the Board and the county. The road Corp. cannot be political, so we need a committee.
Merle said he could work with the committee. Steve said anyone interested could give their name to Jeannie at the office.
Other Topics: Rural road standards were discussed. If the County were to adopt a standard, possibly they could accept the responsibility for the maintenance. This would be a long range goad for
us.
Bill Lucas stated that he had heard that funds were misdirected or lost in the Corporation accounting. It is rumored that money has disappeared. He asked the Board if there was any truth to this
or is any accounting being done. Steve said that an audit is being done with no final results as \et. He also said that if the audit is okay, then the rumors were wrong. If the audit is bad, he
will go to the attorney as this is not a Board decision. It will also depend on the lawyer if the information is to be released to the community. Bill further stated that he had contacted the
State Attorney General’s office and had opened a file. Once they receive a follow up letter, they will be compelled to follow up. Steve said that the Board is dealing with it now and if wrong,
the corporation attorney will make any decision to the Board. He stated that .Ann Fukuhara is our auditor and the Board has not decided about the attorney.

HOVE RMC FORUM
Saturday February 23, 2002
(l0:00 to 12:00)
1. Close some entrances?
No, there is no real advantage to closing any, and if we close them now it may be difficult to officially’ open them in the future when our population and traffic density have increased.
2. Raise assessments for guardrails?
No. Guardrails would be nice, but delineators and rocks are sufficient for now if it means raising assessments. The Board should continue to investigate the possibility of getting grant money.
3. Sue owners who encroach?
Don’t sue; it will only take more money for the lawyers. Give the owners sufficient warning (at least 60 days, but 6 months or more would be better) and then rip out their property that is still
encroaching. If they sue, fine, go to court.
4. Use speed bumps?
No, we don’t need them. They might cause accidents and probably wouldn’t stop the speeders anyway.
5. Change speed limits?
No changes are needed at this time. We might consider raising the boulevard limits to 35 mph in the future.
6. Change rebate policy?
The current policy is acceptable. Some said it encouraged them to pay on time; some said it didn’t matter that much and we should use the money for roadwork (possibly guardrails).
7. Stipends for Board members?
Don’t change the by-laws. If you pay Board members, you may get people who only come for the money, not to help the community.
8. Levy charges for junk cars, etc?
There was sympathy for this idea, but in practicality it can’t be easily done and could create extra legal expenses and more problems.
9. Civic responsibilities?
The purpose of the RMC is to maintain our roads; don’t do anything else.
The most general complaint, which was brought up under several discussion areas, was the widespread pothole problem. We need to put priority on repairing potholes. Everyone agreed that the forum
had been worthwhile and we should have them twice a year: once during the annual meeting (October) and again in the spring (say March or April).
