  5. Approval of Minutes of 2025 Annual Meeting.
  6. Kuau Bayview 2026 Annual President's Report
  7. Financial Report: We are still in very good shape financially. Cash assets of the HOA as of Dec 4/2025 total $82,293.59 which is amazing considering we gave $12,880 back to the owners over the last five years. The insurance premium has increased $604.54 in the last two years even though we have never made a claim. I have requested a new quote to see if it can be lowered. Water rates have increased. Even the cost of the backflow test has increased 50%. We'll pay thousands of dollars for the new fence in Jan 2026. All owners are paid in full except one long-delinquent owner. Two houses sold in 20260 so we received two transfer fees. We'll not be raising the annual dues for 2026 and will be reducing the fees for 2027.
  8. Design Committee Report: This year brought our neighborhood several new roofs and one new fence. For only the second time in KB, a one-story house has added a 2nd story and it looks amazing. Mahalo to all owners who are investing in their homes thereby increasing property values for everyone.
  9. Grievance Report:
    • Laenui Pl cul-de-sac.
    • There was an issue with an overgrown Naupaka hedge blocking the view from Lot 22 but this was resolved thanks to the Lot 23 owner hiring a landscaper to get all the vegetation under control. The house had sat empty for a few months so the plants really took off with all the spring rain.
    • Dog attack at Makana Park
  10. Retention Basin & Landscaping Report: With all the rain we had in the spring, everywhere became overgrown so I have been scrambling trying to redo all the gardens, hillsides, and along Hana Hwy in both directions. It's lucky Tom & I finished the Haole Koa removal from the Retention Basin because we haven't been able to give the basin much attention this year. I planted Plumeria and Red Ti to replace the huge Hau Bush we had to remove at the corner. The Lot 43 owner had his gardener install drip irrigation to water that hillside as it is technically within his property pins even though it is a landscaping easement for the HOA.

  11. Security Report: We had 4 security incidents in 2026. Two young thieves tried to steal a truck parked on the street at Lot 4. The owner scared them off but the truck had to be replaced. A barefoot thief checked car doors on the night about 3am Oct 20. He stole a Dewalt toolbox from the back of a truck parked at Lot 91 which he ditched when he found out how heavy it was. The owner got it back. Someone stole all three of the new solar spotlights from the KB sign on Oct 25.
  12. Election of 2 Directors: The President, Darlene Aaron Brothers (Lot 7), and Treasurer, Samantha Spurgeon (Lot 37), are running for re-election.
  13. Old Business:
    • Retention Basin Fence: The County Parks Department took more than a year to grant Miranda Fencing a Right Of Entry (ROE) Permit just to allow them to drive their truck into the PCC public parking lot to install the chain link RB fence. The County required Miranda to buy insurance before they would be allowed to enter the PCC parking lot so they purchased a year of insurance specifically for this job. The insurance expired 2 months before the ROE came through. The County then demanded they get more insurance. Miranda has since refused to speak with us or the County. Every other fencing company on Maui with the equipment to pound posts has refused to deal with the County. Tom had to remove the posts himself which was extremely difficult without a miniexcavator. The amount of our time that Parks has wasted over the past 5 years is unfathomable.
  14. New Business:
    • Ratification of 2026 Budget: In 2026 we will need to pay for 245 feet of new fencing along the PCC edge of the RB.
    • Ratification of Actions & Decisions of the Board since the last Annual Meeting: The Board took only one action on 01/07/2025 to correct a minor mistake made by the 2016 Board on 08/22/2016.
    • Retention Basin Fencing Repair: Because of the delays and the absolute torture Tom & I have had to endure with Parks for the past four years, it became clear that replacing the full 245 feet of the west side RB fence at once instead of in two sections will save the HOA money and time for all concerned. We hope to get the Right of Entry Permit soon and have the fence completed in January 2026.
    • Tall Trees: As several trees in KB have exceeded the 30' limit, we are NOT going to ask owners to top them or cut them down, but we will require these owners to sign a Tall Tree Indemnity Agreement to hold the HOA harmless in case any part of the tree falls and causes damage to another property. I have discussed this with our insurance agent and he thinks it's a good idea. We don't want the HOA to be liable in any way. If a tree fell and caved in someone's roof or, god forbid, killed someone, the HOA could be sued by someone for not enforcing the DCCRs.

  15. Owners' Forum

    16. Some owners have requested in advance that the following items be added to the agenda. Everyone is welcome to speak on these issues and/or introduce new topics.

    • Dog-Friendly Neighborhood: Robert Lindan (Lot 31) would like to bring the dog-barking issue to everyone's attention and propose ways to mitigate the stressful health effects as described here.
    • PCC Sunset Curfew: Ken Garee (Lot 20) would like to enlist the help of Kuau Bayview members in requesting the County lock the PCC after sunset to prevent further incidents such as were mentioned in the security report above. Possible ways to help are filing a complaint using seeclickfix.com, a petition, or calling the East Maui Parks office at 808-572-8122. Parks rejected my request 2 years ago to add a clause to their lease agreement which would forfeit security deposits if renters allowed their kids to cause trouble in adjacent neighborhoods.
    • CBUs: Marcy Martin (Lot 21) would like us to re-poll the neighborhood regarding whether Kuau Bayview would prefer to give up our end-of-driveway-mailboxes in favor of Cluster Box Units (CBUs) at the front entrance. Apparently the mailperson has been leaving parcels at the bottom of her driveway where they are vulnerable to theft. USPS tried to convert KB to CBUs in 2013 and again in 2017, but we refused. Has anyone changed their mind? You can read all about KB's history with CBUs here.
    • Street Parking: One owner would like to discourage owners from parking on the street by placing flyers on such cars and possibly having them towed at the owner's expense. The parking is a big issue in the neighborhood. It would be nice for residents to understand the impact it has on property values, trash pick up, mail delivery, emergency vehicle access, houseless, abandoned vehicles, and street cleaning. Especially if the County of Maui is willing to come through with street sweepers. Cars parked in the streets impede the sweepers. The houseless sleeping in cars overnight in the neighborhood is a big issue. Also safety issues as we saw when the vehicle was hit&run on Lae St this past month. The Board has misgivings about this idea because of the dissension that was caused in 2001 over the 2001 Board's Proposed Parking Rules.
  16. Adjournment

Google Meet: This software is free and has a 60 minute time limit. We'll schedule 2 one hour meetings in case we go over the one hour. We'll practice in advance so that there are no glitches this time. If anyone can't
