 CURRENT, ACTIVE MATTERS:

 ARCHIVED, PAST NOTICES:

EV CHARGING:  You can sign up for EV Charging here: EV Charging Sign-up Sheet.   
The interim policy that is temporarily in place is as follows:

• HOURS OF OPERATIONS: electric cars may be charged in the 6 stalls marked (“Guest Stalls / EV Charging”) from midnight to 7 AM, Monday through Sunday.   During the hours of 7:00 AM – 23:59 PM, EV charging is strictly prohibited as the same stalls are exclusively used for Guest Parking. EV cars that are charged at night must be removed from the Guest Stalls by no later than 7AM.
  
• VEHICLES: only passenger vehicles with valid tags (registration and safety check) and valid Hawaii insurance can use the charging stations.
  
• USERS: EV Charging is available to registered Foster Tower residents only.
  
• SIGN-IN: users must sign in for EV charging on Foster Tower’s portal
  ​(http://www.fostertower.org/resident-portal.html) before entering the EV charging stalls for charging.
  
• PAYMENT: residents must download the Loop app from the App Store or from this QR code >>>>>>>>>> 
  The Loop app will activate the charging stations and will allow you to pay for charging. 
  The charging rates are set by the Board of Directors and are subject to change,
  based on market conditions.  The current rate is: 50¢/KWH (as of 2024). 
• CHARGER TYPE: Foster Tower’s EV chargers are Level 2 chargers. Level 2 charging typically adds about 25 miles of EV range for every hour of charging.
  
• FINES: Residents who violate Foster Tower’s EV Charging Policy will be fined $200 after one warning issued to their apartment. 

GYM USE:  We continue to operate our on-site gym on a dual platform of having both "Reservations Only" and "Open Hours" timeslots to accommodate the different needs of residents.  During "Reservations Only" times, only ONE person may use the gym at any one time on based on signing up for the reserved timeslot on our website.  This rule is strictly enforced.  Please do not ask someone who signed up to use the gym if it's OK to use it while they are in the gym.  They may be too polite to say "no."  If these rules are not followed, we will need to turn off gym access to those residents who violate this rule.

Residents MUST sign up to use the gym by adding their name onto this Google Form: GYM  RESERVATION  FORM

​

Residents using the gym must wipe down all used equipment BEFORE & AFTER each use.

Please use extra care during quiet hours (11 pm - 7 am).  During these hours, residents may work out in a quiet manner (treadmill, stationary bike, free weights, yoga, etc.) but must refrain from listening to music, talking on the phone, or dropping free weights or weight stack bars.  Should we receive noise complaints, we will need to revoke the temporary quiet hours use.

NEW SECURITY SYSTEM: Foster Tower is in the process of adopting a facial recognition access control system.  Residents (short- and long-term) can register their faces to be used for access control. There are numerous benefits to the new system:

• it's more secure than a fob-based system where fobs could be passed around freely
  
• it doesn't require residents to carry anything to access the building; conversely, there's no fobs or keys that could be stolen and compromised either.
• it's hands-free!  We don't have to touch doorhandles, and we don't have to dig in our purses to find our fobs/keys.
  
• we can set it up remotely and ahead of arrival.  Just email our office at fostertowerwaikiki@gmail.com your (a) registration form, (b) waiver, and (3) your photo and we'll set it up in the system prior to your arrival or the arrival of your residents/guests.  You can find the blank registration forms here on our website, along with instructions for taking a usable photo.​
