Longhouse Vandalism
On Thursday evening after the last board meeting, someone targeting the long house once again. This time electrical wires were cut that interrupted the ability of staff to do their jobs. If anyone has information about the matter, please come forward and help us solve the crime. All of this activity adds additional costs to the LCA budget. The current level of surveillance will have to be increased at a cost to all members. There is a reward available to information that leads to a conviction. Thank you.

Vote on Electronic Communications and Voting
Congratulations! You, the owners of our community association, voted overwhelmingly to pass the bylaw changes required for electronic communication and voting. After eliminating some ballots for various reasons (didn’t vote, couldn’t be matched with a lot, voted for more than one option, received via fax or email, etc.) we received ballots representing 237 lots, well over the 204 needed for quorum. About 91% of the votes were “YES” to make the changes, easily exceeding the 2/3 needed to change our bylaws. Mahalo to all who voted.
We are modifying the existing bylaws and will register the updated bylaws with the state. They will be posted on the official Leilani website (under the bylaws tab). The votes and the member list used to tally the votes are on file in the office and will be available for your review as soon as we scan a copy for backup. They will be there for 30 days. They cannot be taken from the office; you are welcome to review them there. Of course, you can always pay for a copy for yourself to take away (at a $1 per page it will cost approximately $150 for your own copy).
Next step – the Election Committee will make their recommendation to the Board on the 3rd party organization to run our election. We will have a decision around the 1st of October. Remember, every email we can get saves our community around $3 per mailing. Please talk to your friends and neighbors and ask them to provide an email (or cell phone number) to maximize our savings.
The Bylaws Committee – Jim Freedman, Phil Denney, and Marianne Farrell
Update on opening up Leilani to N Nohea
The county department of public works visited Leilani Estates 9/19 and did a site walk at the end of Leilani Ave. The purpose was to see if they would help the association by relocating the barricades approximately 400 feet closer to the lava field so people could access N. Nohea St. Fortunately they agreed to help. Our concern has been to provide an exit for residents of north Nohea in case another big tree falls and traps residents like it did a few years back. Thanks to Mark Hauanio for his efforts in helping make this happen.
