Hawaiian Shores Community -- July Board Meeting

WATCHDOG © 2011

Hope you are planning to attend the upcoming Board Meeting on Saturday. The Agenda has been posted. Some of the items are listed below.

Of keen interest of course is the various reports. They are to reflect the activities of the various committees as well as a report from the Director of Operations and Management. The Watchdog has posted notes from each of the Committee meetings held this month that have been noticed to the community via the OFFICIAL HSCA Website Calendar. [See list below under 'Reports' to find the links to those notes.] You will note when arriving at the calendar the absence of the schedule for the "Ocean Park" Committee, though, once again they are on the Agenda with a report! The Watchdog schedules a weekly reminder to verify what is scheduled at the community calendar and no such meeting was noticed. For the past three months the Board has been queried as to the place and time of these meetings; each time the response was somewhat cavalier: "Oh, we just get together down there and talk and have our meetings..." Each time, members from the audience remind the Board such meetings are to be noticed so the public might arrange to attend. Still, a month later, another report and no public meeting noticed.

Reports:

• Report from the Director of Operations and Management
• Committee Reports and Recommendations
o Finance, Infrastructure, By‐Laws, Community Relations,  Architectural, Ocean Park,

Old Business:

• Status of actions on tenting/roofing the Stables – Kevin Wibberley• Revision of Water Rules to Allow billing to commence every 2 months – Eileen O’Hara

This may be an item you will want to voice an opinion about. The monthly fee currently is $50. Going to a 2 month billing cycle will mean the consumer will then budget $100 per billing cycle. Normally, businesses do not move their customers into a situation where certain failure through late payments will accrue and may wind up being so excessive the consumer loses their water service. What will they do with the "late fee?

• Status on Nenue foreclosed property – Eileen O’Hara"• Bid for solar system for Honu Street Pool – Mike Moylan, Pacific Solar Products• Tax status of Ocean Park site – Eileen O’Hara• Final review of draft of survey to be sent to members with mid‐year packet – Caroline Weber• Update on RFP publication and planning grant option ‐ Eileen O’Hara

New Business:

• Maikoiko Park utilization and maintenance issues

This issue is one the membership should be very involved in discussing. As decisions are made monies will be appropriated. The renewal of the Cell Tower discussion has been kick started. This one met with a great deal of angst and resistance the last time -- in 2007. Though most of the individuals who were most vocal and active in opposition no longer live here perhaps those who have moved in or still remain will have some objection. It could be a great thing to have a Cell Tower erected but it should be a great thing because many members are pleased with the idea.   

• Mid‐Year packet – Identify items for inclusion and specify target mailing date
