OLD BUSINESS

 

Larry recaps the unauthorized hiring of Jung and Vassar by Karen Kudlo.  Paul Myers and Karen signed the retainer fee check of $1500.00 and Arleen and Paul Myers were the people who are documented as using the attorney’s services, even after they were no longer on the board.  The retainer has been spent and then some.  Larry goes on to remark that Jung and Vassar sent out three letters that said they were authorized by the Kula Kai View Estates Board of Directors, when the Board of Directors had not voted on them, had never approved them, and had never even seen the letters.

 

Attorney Motion:  Don moves that we return to Lacy and Jackson as our attorney and that we send a letter to Jung and Vassar telling them that we no longer need their services AFTER we receive all the documentation from them.  Seconded. 

Vote:  Unanimous in Favor.  Motion passes.

 

Update on Easement Issue – Barb Capocy

Barb reports that she spoke to Rhonda and that Rhonda said she will be sending Barb an email.

Motion:  Don moves to table sending the letter until Rhonda’s response.

Seconded.  Vote:  Unanimous in favor.  Motion Passes.

 

Email Voting, Voting Rights for Officers.

Don presents his proposed email voting rules and voting rights for officers (who are KKVE property owners) via a bylaw change. 

 

 

 

 

Much discussion leads to no motions being placed at this meeting.  Don says it is urgent for us to be able to do business via email as a few of us are leaving the island.  Rex says we can have discussions but cannot vote.  Don says we can vote but the vote must be unanimous according to the bylaws.  Ron takes exception to email being “written assent”.  Nothing is resolved regarding this issue.  Rex suggests we have an attorney interpret our bylaws on the subject.  Don resigns from the email committee.

 

Letters of Violations

Don discusses 18 letters the previous board sent out to owners, plus some that the board did not authorize.  Of those 18, 3 were chosen to be sent to an attorney, without the authorization of the board.  Don said he has spoken to many of the recipients and he also said he would like to have the board go through the covenants versus what the letters say.

 

Annual Payments to Officers

Ron makes motion to issue no payment to any officer for this past year.  Seconded.  Vote:  Motion Fails.

 

Ric makes a motion to compensate Barb Capocy $500.00 for her current work and efforts she has put forth from December through March.  Seconded.  Vote:  Motion Passes.

 

Website

Don moves that we set up a committee to pursue getting an association website.  He volunteers to chair the committee.  Agreed.  Don recommends John Wilson for the job.  Elton from Aloha Broadband is also able to set one up.

 

Insurance

Ron discusses the expensive insurance the board has and a motion to drop the insurance was discussed approved.
