Welcome Home
Thousands gather to welcome home Hōkūle‘a and Hikianalia, our Polynesian voyaging canoes, on
June 17th. Both sailed across Earth’s oceans to join and grow the global movement toward a more
sustainable world. The Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage began in 2013 when a new generation of
navigators took the helm and guided Hōkūle‘a and Hikianalia back to Polynesia after circumnavigating
the globe. WELCOME HOME!

It was sad to see our two Ulu trees removed. Over the years the trees had
out grown their spots and both roots and falling fruits had become a problem.
Some of the wood from the tree was saved for future wood work projects.
The Hawaiian word for tree is “Kumu La’au”. It means a source or teacher plant.

Mahalo to James Dvorak of Edward Jones for spending time with our AOAO employees to talk about
the importance of retirement planning. The AOAO offers employees a simple IRA benefit program
after one year of employment.
Mr. Kasper “Kaz” Rasmussen will assume the position of
General Manager for the on-site rental program at the Kamaole
Sands beginning July 3, 2017. Kaz most recently was the General
Manager for the Hale Pau Hana Resort, a condominium resort in
Kihei, Maui. Prior to this he had worked for companies such as the
Ritz Carlton in Singapore, Aston Hotels & Resorts, the Portman
Jarret & Kasper Rasmussen Hotel in San Francisco in a variety of roles including Executive
Housekeeper, Rooms Division Manager and Project Manager. His
wealth of knowledge in all of these different roles will be advantageous to our program, and we are
looking forward to seeing the positive outcome that will result. Kaz speaks Swedish, Norwegian and
Danish and is an active scuba diver who enjoys diving with his teenage son. He has been a long-time
Maui resident and is a member of the Maui Chamber of Commerce.

KEYS ARE NOT AN OPTION
By Lois Koenig
Living in a multi-unit shared development is not the
same as living in a private home. Because we
share walls and common space, we have
obligations which are put in place to benefit
the development as a whole. These
obligations are
noted in the documentation each of us receives when we purchase our units.
One of our obligations as owners is to provide keys for our unit to the
Association. The reason for these keys is so that our unit can be entered in case
of an emergency such as a hot water tank leak or for mandatory maintenance
such as pest control. The keys are secured and are not used for regular entry to
your unit. Our obligation to do this is noted in House Rules Article III, Section 9; ByLaws, Number 8 (a);
and in Hawaii Revised Statues 514-6(f), which state that the owner must provide keys and the Association
does have the right to enter individual units as noted above. We also need to replace that key with the
AOAO when we change locks.
In order to meet the concerns of some owners as to the security of items in their unit, the following process
has been put into place.
-Keys have been inventoried and placed in a locked cabinet in the Association office.
-A notice is posted whenever there is a need to enter a unit for routine maintenance.
-A log is kept when a key is used which lists the reason for entry and by whom.
-Doors are re-locked after entry.
It is just common sense that we, as owners, do not leave valuables in the lanai closet or visible in our units
after notice of necessary maintenance has been posted. Valuables might be described as money, jewelry,
laptop computers, cameras, cell phones and other easily removed items of value. Some owners have made
space for this type of item by placing them in a locked cabinet or closet inside of their unit.
Most Kamaole Sands owners have met their obligation, but a few owners have not provided keys as
requested. In addition, some new owners do not know of the House Rules. This makes it difficult for the
AOAO to do necessary maintenance; have your units sprayed for pests or ensure painting is complete. In
order to obtain all keys, the Board voted for a $100 per month penalty fine for this infraction of our ByLaws.
We have authorized a volunteer project in which all keys we do have will be checked to see if they are
current. Owners who have not turned in their keys or who have not turned in current keys will be notified
by the AOAO.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS
The AOAO is looking for volunteers to help with our key inventory project. Keys are physically checked
with the door lock for all units. Keys are inventoried and non-operational keys are discarded . We
anticipate the project taking place in the fall. Contact Jarret if you are interested at:
lamalani@hawaii.rr.com

Aloha Kamaole Sands Building
2, 3, 4 and 10 Owners
As we are sure you are aware, your buildings are scheduled for painting this summer (please see last
page of AOAO Newsletter). The painting of building 1 has been completed and has gone relatively
smoothly and at this point, painting is expected to be completed as scheduled. But, you may not have
understood the impact on your unit. Your lanai doors, behind the lanai closet doors and bedroom
windows will be covered for part of the time, and there is no guarantee when the covering will be
removed. The air conditioner cannot be used while the lanai doors are covered since there will be no
ventilation. There is noise from the equipment and of course, any view your unit affords will be
unavailable.
At the May 25 AOAO Board Meeting, which was attended by Terry, it was strongly recommended that
units not be rented during the entire time the building is scheduled to be painted. None of us wants
unhappy guests who will write negative reviews of our lovely property.
The three of us are owners of ground floor units on the other side of Kamaole Sands and our buildings are
not scheduled to be painted until 2018. We have some availability this summer and wanted to let you
know we would be happy to work with you if you need to move your perspective guests who have
reserved with you during your scheduled painting period.
Please check our availability on VRBO and email us as soon as possible so we can work with you on
accommodating your guests. Mahalo!

IS YOUR INSURANCE CURRENT AND COMPLETE?
Most accidents and unexpected emergencies come as a surprise. The main reason we buy
insurance is to protect ourselves against surprises such as fires, water damage or guest
accidents. Many of you know about the 2008 fire in Building 5. In this situation, Building 5
was totally shut down for several days and eight units were shut down for almost two
months. During that time, the owners of these units lost real and potential income. Some
of the owners did not carry ‘loss of income’ insurance.
Damage from a bad hot water heater, a leaking shower pan or toilet seal or a
broken pipe may come more slowly than a fire and, thus, cause more extensive
damage. In some cases where such a leak occurred in a 4th floor unit, as many
as 8 units can be involved. If such a leak occurs within your unit, you are
responsible for all of the damage…the damage to all 8 units and the damage
to the common elements. This type of leak has cost some owners upwards of
$40,000. This is why your insurance coverage is so important.
There are many things that can happen when you own and rent out property.
A guest could fall and hurt themselves. A child could have an accident.
The hot water heater could leak and mold could make your unit
uninhabitable for several days or weeks. We could have a hurricane or
other storm. Although none of us likes to think about these possibilities,
it is just good judgment to evaluate the potential of risk.
The Board has mandated that all owners carry HO6 insurance; this is not an option. It is,
however, the decision of each owner to carry ‘loss of income’ coverage and the decision on
the amount of coverage to carry is individual to you as an owner. In the world we live in
today, it is probably a smart move to opt for very good coverage.
In addition to good insurance, it behooves us to check our appliances to
ensure they are in good working order. We should check around toilets
and other pipe connections to ensure there is no leakage, Look at your
walls to ensure you see no evidence of leakage from other units. Take
responsibility for damages your unit may cause.
This note is a reminder to you, as a Kam Sands unit owner, to check your insurance
coverage and make the decision with regards to insurance that works for you.

Building Painting - Phase 1
The building painting of Kamaole Sands will take place in 2 phases over 2 years.
Phase 1 will be made up of buildings: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 & Pool Building. The start date for phase 1 is
April 3rd, 2017. We anticipate making spall damage repair to approximately 43 units during the
painting process. We anticipate phase 1 to be completed by 11/18/17.
Phase 2 will be made up of buildings: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & Lobby. The scheduled start date for phase 2 is
April 1st, 2018. We anticipate phase 2 to follow the same format as phase 1.
Phase 1 building painting will follow this order:
*Approximately 30 - 45 working days per building / Approximately 15 to 25 days per side
FRONT 1) Wash & Prep FRONT
(Parking Lot 2) Prep/Prime/1st Coat
3) 2nd Coat The same format
side) used for each
4) Doors/Trims/Walkway/Touch Up
building.
5) Wash & Prep BACK Scaffolds, lifts, and
BACK ladders will be
6) Prep/Prime/1st Coat
(Lanai side) used.
7) 2nd Coat
8) Doors/Trims/Touch Up
9) Concrete lanai spall repair
*Schedules are subject to revision pending unforeseen problems and weather
conditions. We will do our best to keep you updated on any schedule changes.
Preparation
1. Parking
The stalls fronting the building will be off limits during portions of the painting project. Please
check posted notices or with the front desk for an alternative parking arrangement during the
project.
2. Lanai furniture
All lanai furniture must be brought into the unit when the lanai side of the building is power
washed and worked on. Owners are responsible for clearing the lanai. The AOAO will charge a
fee to the unit owner if the lanai is not cleared.
3. Fire Alarm & Elevator Service
Fire alarms and elevator service will remain operational during the project.
184. Unit Entry Door Painting
Jade Painting will paint the inside of the door jamb first, then later spray the exterior of the
door. This method will reduce the drying time and the need to keep the doors open for an
extended time to dry.
Notes
a) Unit access may be required depending on the area that is being painted. The AOAO will make
arrangements with the owner if this becomes necessary. During the project, almost all access to
upper floor lanais will be done with the use of scaffolds. We anticipate heavy use of scaffolds
and ladders around the building exterior. Additional signage will be placed on the inside of the
lanai door to remind occupants of no lanai access.
b) Landscape will need to be trimmed back as needed to provide clearance from the building.
c) We are not painting the inside of your lanai closet. Items do not need to be removed. Access to
the lanai closet will be restricted during the painting process. Please plan accordingly.
d) Jackhammers, noise, dust, restricted access are all elements of this complex project.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your assistance during this painting and spall repair
project. All concerns should be sent via email to Jarret Delos Santos at lamalani@hawaii.rr.com.
EXPECT: NOISE, DUST, JACKHAMMERS, SCAFFOLDS,
LADDERS, MACHINES, LIFTS, SMELLS, COVERED WINDOWS
