December 2020 Newsletter

Aloha Kamalani Community,

We hope everyone is staying safe and ready for the upcoming holidays.

On behalf of the AOUO board, Marilyn, and Sean - we want to wish everyone a happy holiday and new year!
 

Large Trash Items

We've been having issues with large trash being left outside the community's dumpsters. It's important to note that we are charged fees whenever trash is overflowing the containers. Our trash service does NOT pick up large items left outside of the dumpster as well.

We had an incident where someone had left two box springs outside of the dumpster, and the trash service refused to pick it up. Sean has graciously picked it up with his truck and dropped it off at the dump - but this is not his responsibility. Please do not leave large items outside the red trash bins.

Also - please break down all boxes prior to placing into the bins. With the holidays approaching, the trash bins will fill up with more than usual trash. Please be considerate and ensure the lids are closed. If one bin is filling up, use the additional bin on the side to prevent overfilling.

Mahalo!
 

Pressure Washing

We're in the middle of pressure washing the buildings - please pay attention to the schedule posted outside the mailbox. One week reminders are left on each individual's door.
 

Snail Treatment

We have a few problem areas around the community with snails. We're looking into having a few flower beds treated, however it's important to note the chemical used is toxic for mammals (cats). Please make sure to keep any cats / dogs away from these areas.

We’ll be treating on 12/23 - the same day as our quarterly pest control treatment. There will be a follow up treatment on 1/22/2021.
 

Midgens

A few within our community have noticed a large swarm of midgens (Non-biting midge flies or chironomids). These are very inconvenient - but luckily only live 3-5 days. As a precaution, we’ve treated the detention pond near building 8.
 

AC Maintenance

We've had issues of AC units leaking condensation within the interior drywall, causing mold and damage to the neighbors below. This has happened on a few occurrences. To prevent a very costly repair, ensure that your AC is well maintained. Make sure the unit is draining towards the outside away from the building.
 

Annual Meeting

Due to the Mayor’s Proclamation effective November 12, 2021, meetings of more than ten people indoors or outdoors, social or business are not allowed. The Annual Meeting has been rescheduled again until April 17th at 10:00 at Calvary Church in Wailuku at 31 N. Church Street. We should know more by mid-January.
 

Board Member Election

Calling all would be Board Member Volunteers, at the next Annual Meeting, the election will be held to fill nine Board Positions. It will be necessary to elect at least one member from the flats and one member from the townhomes, other than that, all are welcome to submit their Bio’s or resume’ to serve on the Board. This election will be for all owners either by proxy or by ballot at the meeting. Please email Marilyn if interested!
 

AOUO Fee Reminder

Please remember, AOUO fees are due on the first. On the 10th, a late fee is applied of $50.00 and interest charges begin to accrue. Please ensure you get your payments in on time. The association has been forgiving due to the financial difficulties so many of owners have had during COVID but the grace period is over and beginning January 1, 2021 these late fees and interest charges will be strictly enforced again.
 

December Board Meeting

There will not be a Board Meeting in December and the next Board Meeting will be held on January 21, 2021 at 5:30 via teleconference.
 

Secure Home

With the holiday time approaching, please make sure to be keep your doors locked when leaving. We haven’t heard of any break ins within our community, but we’d like to remind everyone to secure their homes when leaving.
