TAPRC 4th Quarter Meeting

December 7, 2004
Held at the Pelican Resort - St. Maarten  2:00pm 

Attendee's:  Bob Ryan, Norman Dodson, Steven Helling. Marion Holmes,  
Richard Sutton, Len Matsuaga, Angel Estrada, Luis Cabrera.

Len Matsunaga briefed the board on the legal matters that were still on the 
table.  Those being Telem, The Real case and F&B.  

At this time, Eric Millet brought in Will Klein to give the board a presentation of 
a special program that Sky Med was planning to offer to Pelican Resort owners.

Norman Dodson gave the board a review of our financial condition in 
preparation for the AGM.

A report was given on the progress of the Vincard program.  The new vincards 
will have the pelican logo on them as well as some advertising. The cards 
operate all doors now; however the vehicle gate arms need to be programmed 
to accept the cards. The discussions with our concessionaires are ongoing. 

Communications were discussed.  The board agreed with this task being 
undertaken by ISCO.  We will soon be running an informational banner at the 
bottom of the screen on channel 15.  There are also plans to add 3 additional 
television channels after the first of the New Year.  Fox will be added along with 
two other channels.  Cable television was discussed, however the cable 
company wants to charge full rate for each villa, which makes it impossible for 
the resort to do financially.

30 to 35 units were completed in the refurbishment program during calendar 
year 2004 at a cost of approximately 20 thousand dollars per unit.  The PCIP 
budget for 2004 has been allocated and one of the elevators that were 
proposed in 2004 will actually be installed in 2005.

Royal Resorts presented the board with a conceptual blueprint drawing for a 
new beach bar.  There are no present plans to build a new beach bar, however 
this is one of our long term plans. 

 Frank Roozen visited the meeting and updated the board on our legal matters 
and answered any questions the board members had.   The board then 
discussed the articles of association and term limits for future board members.  
It was agreed to discuss this at the AGM for some type of action in 2005.  The 
final item discussed was fiscal unity.

With no further business to discuss, the board adjourned at 6:00pm.  

Steven D. Helling,  TAPRC Board Secretary
