Dear Maui Vista Homeowner:

This year’s Homeowners’ Meeting had a 63.9% quorum. There were two candidates (Barry Richardson, and Jim Erickson) for the two open seats on the board. Since there were two candidates for two seats, the vote was passed by acclamation. Barry Richardson and Jim Erickson were elected to join Chet Hodgson, Peggy Ann Shea and Don Smart on your 2016 board.

EVENT UPDATES

1.   HNU Energy Company is evaluating how best to add solar panels to power the AOAO common element loads (exhaust fans, pool motors etc.). The flat portions of our roofs are the ideal dimensions to house the photovoltaic cells to power our common element loads. There are still some sticky issues* to resolve before a full report and approval/disapproval ballot will be sent to each owner for a vote.

*The roof on which the PV cells will be attached is more than half way through its useful life. It therefore makes little sense to install all the PV cells then in 7-9 years pull them all off so the roof can be resurfaced. HNU is crunching the numbers to determine if the AOAO can still save money on solar power if they add the cost of re-roofing before installing the PV cells. There are also some cosmetic considerations about where the support electronics (to complete the conversion of DC voltage (what the PV cells generate) to AC voltage) are to be housed. It’s looking like additional buildings will need to be constructed as the existing power rooms are too small.

2.   Air conditioners were the topic of considerable discussion at the homeowners’ meeting. A motion was put forward by several of the owners to have all bedroom A/C’s, that face onto the walkways, be replaced with interior models where the exhaust is removed by a tube that vents through the bedroom window. A ballot has been emailed to each owner to determine if we need to remove all bedroom window A/C’s
