Angie’s 2010 Annual Letter
Aloha Everyone!
I hope this letter finds all of our valued members enjoying their summer and in good health.
The past year has again been very active for our Association. Enclosed for your information is the 2010 annual meeting packet. In addition to this
letter, you will find the following:
I know many members do not live on island and some have not visited their property for years. Therefore, I encourage you all to read the
enclosures. I believe being informed adds to a feeling of community. I also want to remind everyone about our website: www.milolii.org. You will
find many resources there such as our community documents, past minutes, vendor information and pictures of improvements of the
subdivision. The real estate section writer for our local newspaper West Hawaii Today contacted us with a few questions regarding our
subdivision for an article she was writing. I thought you all might enjoy reading the article.
At the annual meeting the following members were elected to serve on the Board for fiscal year 2010-2011:
Vicki Swift - President
Gwen Keliikoa - Vice-President
Teresa Grabham - Treasurer
Angie Bowman - Secretary
Carl Ramsey - Director
Linda Kam - Director
Uwe Gunnersen - Director
I would like to highlight a couple of items for your information:
The cost for our General Liability Insurance three years ago was approximately $15,000. For the past couple of years it has been $10,200
annually. This year the cost was reduced to $9000. That’s a $6,000 reduction in 2 years!
Through good business practices by the Board, at fiscal year end, the Association came in under budget in the amount of $13,000+. The Board
voted to designate 85% of those excess funds for road paving in 2010-2011.
I want to thank all of those members who paid their annual assessments on time and thank those of you who are making regular payments.
One of the roads assessed and labeled “high priority” by the Road Committee was grossly in disrepair and has several year-round residents.
Your timely payments enabled the Board to pave the road earlier this year (see enclosed pictures).
I want to encourage anyone who is still in arrears, to contact me so we can make payment arrangements. I will work with you to help bring your
account current. Please understand that the Board has a responsibility to collect annual assessments to pay for operating expenses and road
maintenance. Any member who is in arrears 6 months or longer is subject to a lien being recorded against their property. If a lien is filed, it
will add a minimum of $296.40 in costs to your account.
Through the generosity of John and Vicki Swift donating plants, ground cover and trees, and Vicki Swift and Teresa Grabham donating their
time to coordinate planting, we now have palm trees, ground cover and plants lining the entry rock walls built last year at Milolii Road and
Ewalu. Gwen Keliikoa volunteered and is maintaining the plantings. Cement caps were placed on top of the two rock wall pillars. Additionally, a
beautiful welcome sign with solar lighting painted by Teresa Grabham was erected near the rock wall (see enclosed pictures to view the
improvements). I want to thank the volunteers for their donations, time and hard work in completing this project.
I, along with other members, attended a “talk story” meeting with our district Councilman, Guy Enriques. There were several items discussed.
One item Mr. Enrique’s shared of importance to our community is that the County of Hawaii deposits a minimum of $900,000 into a fund each
year. Non-profit organizations may apply for the funds. The money is awarded to non-profit companies who demonstrate a plan to use the
funds to improve the community in some manner. The Board and Park Committee will look into applying for some of these funds to improve
our park parcel. The deadline to apply is January 2011. As always the Board welcomes input from our members. You may email any
suggestions to the Board at miloliimanager@yahoo.com. I will forward your comments on to the Board.
Please remember, I am available to discuss any of the annual packet material enclosed. I can be reached by telephone (808) 328-0481 or via
email miloliimanager@yahoo.com.
Mahalo for your time.
Kindest regards,
Angie Bowman
