Greetings Marriott TUG'ers 
We returned from two glorious weeks at Ko'Olina.
Our vacation coincided with the annual owners meeting so we attended and learned a lot.
Also spoke one-on-one with the Board President, the Resort Manager, the Owner-Relations Manager and the Director of Operations.
The new building, Hale Oahu, anticipated start-date of construction: 2020 !!!!
Along with Marriott's spin-off of the timeshare business, a new business direction came into play. In the past, each timeshare was evaluated independently. Thus, if it was financially feasible to build more units at a given timeshare, a green-light was usually given.
Under the new operating procedure, all timeshares are lumped as one and if it's not financially good for the whole lot, a red-light would burn.
Another upgrade, in process, will be a rearrangement of furniture in the studio lock-out. A small table will be added so a couple could have meals together instead of one sitting on the sofa and another on the bed.
A upgrade to the parking-garage's gate-lifting method. Currently you need to use your room key-card which often fails the first 3-4 times.
A new card will be issued where all you need to do is to tap it against the controller.
They mentioned other items but this is all I can remember.
