President’s Message
For this edition of the Maili Cove
Newsletter I would like recognize and and
give a big mahalo to former board
members Dave Tunison and Darrel
Mortenson for their service to Maili Cove.
If you see Dave or Darrel around the
property please be sure to give them a
thank you.
I would also like to welcome and thank
new board members Nina Lamadora and
Cameron Gomez for volunteering their
services on the Maili Cove board of
directors.
Maili Cove was established in 1975 and
therefore requires constant maintenance.
My hope is that your new board can work
together as a team to maintain and
improve “her” to the best of our ability.
Board of Directors Meeting
The annual board of directors meeting
was held on May 13th. Due to Covid, the
1
George Butler, Editor
meeting had been delayed by several
months, however it was finally held via
ZOOM video computer application. ZOOM
worked well in that those owners off Island
could participate as well, which made our
attendance to the meeting outstanding.
The challenge came when it was time to
vote for the new board members, as
owners needed to be present to vote, or
vote by proxy. Owners participating via
ZOOM in their units, were given a voting
ballot and brought their votes down to
Unit 110 to have them counted. Old and
New business was discussed and the
meeting was adjourned. Minutes will be
posted to our website when completed.
There are tentative plans for another
board meeting in August. The time and
place have not been identified. As usual,
there will be an announcement sent out in
advance and during the meeting there will
be an owner’s forum where you can bring
up topics or discussion points for the
committee to consider.
Board of Directors Sub-Committees
There currently are 3 sitting sub-
committees, House and Grounds
Committee headed by Jamie Davis;
Communications Committee headed
by George Butler; and the House Rules
Committee (new lead to be
determined at the next board
meeting). The following is an update
from those committees:
House and Grounds committee:
Rounds are made periodically by this
committee along with the Resident and
Site Manager to identify maintenance
and repair projects. A few of the major
items to note are: 1) We are in the
process of obtaining quotes to install
an electric gate at the entrance of our
parking lot. This type of upgrade will
eliminate several of our security
concerns. 2) Live termites in our roof
continue to be a problem. If you are a
third floor owner and think you may
have signs of live termites, then please
contact the resident manager
immediately. 3) A heat pump
replacement and upgrade for the pool
has been approved. 4) Please
remember to break down card board
boxes before placing them in the
dumpster. Bulky items should NOT be
placed in dumpsters. The Waianae
refuse center will accept bulky items at
no charge, 7-days a week.

For more details on the above items
please attend our next board meeting
scheduled for late August.
Communications Committee: The
objective of this committee is to
improve communications between
owners/residents and management,
new initiatives have included the
upgrade of the Maili Cove website, the
publication of a quarterly newsletter
and a compilation of current owners e-
mail addresses. If you have any
recommendations or suggestions,
please to let us know with a
recommendation/suggestion form
available at our website (submit on-
line): www.mailicove.net. When
providing comments or suggestions
please try to be positive and provide a
sound recommendation.
House Rules Committee: The House Rules
were updated in 2020 and included
changes such as: 1) Establishing an
administrative warning & fine system for
breaking the House Rules, 2) Allowing
daytime pool guests limited to 2 adults per
unit and 3) more defined rules on smoking,
noise and pets. If you have guests or
renters, please ensure they are familiar
with the House Rules, as the owners will
be held accountable.
Updates on Projects:
Fence Replacement: This has been a
source of frustration to us all. As you
are aware, the new fence had been
approved and budgeted for several
years ago, with a beach survey
completed, bids obtained and a
contract awarded. Construction
commenced but was almost
immediately shut down, as it was
discovered there had not been a
permit approved by the City and
County. There have been several
attempts to expedite a permit through
the Department of Planning and 30 to 35 people attended the event!
Permitting, however, upon draft of this
newsletter, there is still not an
approved permit to continue
construction.
Roof Recoating: Termite damage was
discovered this past winter on the roof
and some of the support beams
holding the roof up. After the damage
was repaired, the roof was recoated
with the protective coating that lasts
And of course, no celebration is
about 10 years. Periodic inspections of
complete without a Cake!!!
the roof will be conducted to ensure
the repairs and recoating remain
effective.

Happy Independence Day

July 4th was a time for celebration at
Maili Cove! Residents at Maili Cove
organized a fantastic potluck to
celebrate the day.

Thanks to all who organized and

Spotlight on a Resident
Each newsletter we plan to “Place the
Spotlight” on one of our residents for
everyone to get to know their neighbors
better. This season we have picked
Beverly and Glenn Davis to provide a
brief introduction of themselves:
Five years ago we decided to take a
chance to live in Hawaii for a year. We
were able to rent unit 211 from Don
Thompson, so sold our four bedroom
house and moved across the country.
We fell in love with Maili Cove, and
when an end unit became available, we
were able to purchase unit 201 four
months later. We have never regretted
our decision. We love the people of
Maili Cove, the pool, the view and the
atmosphere here. The rainbows are
spectacular, and the sunsets are
unbelievable and have become a social
time for us. Glenn blows the conch shell
to pay homage to the "gods" for another
beautiful day in paradise as the sun falls
into the ocean.
What we didn't love was the humidity
during the summer months. Since we
still had family back in Michigan and
Glenn loves to garden, we decided to
become true "Snowbirds" and live in
Michigan for 6 months of the summer,
leaving in May and returning in October.

We enjoy our time at our Hawaiian
condo swimming, walking on the beach,
and reading. Glenn helps with the cactus
garden up at Makaha Towers and serves
as treasurer on the Board of Directors.
Bev enjoys planning and organizing
community potlucks (before Covid hit,
that is) and working on crafts and sewing
projects.
We are so glad that we found Maili
Cove and all of the great neighbors we
have here. And we are glad that we have
made this our home.
WiFi Service at the Pool
Mahalo to Darrel Mortenson for his
persistence with SPECTRUM Cable
company in obtaining a dedicated WiFi
connection at the pool for all to use. The
new connection name is: Maili Cove Wifi,
and the Password is: mailicovepool.
Help Secure Maili Cove
The Homeless and Vagrants present a
growing problem throughout Hawaii, and
many of us recognize the increasing
population near Maili Cove. There have
been situations when some of the
Homeless have wandered into our complex.
Please help the Resident Manager, Site
Manager and Security guards by reporting
trespassers when you see them. However,
since many owners rent out their units or
share them with friends, don’t assume
every stranger doesn’t belong in Maili
Cove, as they may have been invited. This
is why it is important to register
unaccompanied guests and renters with
the Resident Manager, either in person or
via the form on the website. This will help
the Resident Manager determine who is a
trespasser and who is a guest. If you
decide to question a stranger, please do so
with aloha, as they may be a new renter or
guest. Mahalo for your Kokua.
New Resident Manager
As many of you know we hired a new
Resident Manager who started May 1st.
His name is Ray Doak. He and his lovely
wife Deb own and live up in 305. His work
schedule is from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM
Saturday through Wednesday each week
(Thursdays and Fridays are his days off).
He can either be reached at the office
phone of (808) 697-1395 or his cell phone
at (808) 445-0342. Please contact him if
you have any issues or concerns you need
to have addressed regarding the property.
From the Resident Manager
Aloha. Deb and I continue to feel blessed
and fortunate to be a part of the beauty
and community at Maili Cove! I’m
honored to team with Patrick, whose
knowledge and long-time experience here
is invaluable. It has been a full 3 months
coordinating/researching bids for our
major projects and completing additional
5
maintenance projects - roof coating,
replacement/repair of all sprinkler heads,
painting the breezeway, power washing all
walkways, pruning trees away from
building structures, redirection for the
landscaping crew - to name a few.
Thanks to all who have offered words of
encouragement as we work, and for those
little gifts of food. :) If you have
suggestions, have questions, or just
wonder what’s being done, come ask.
We’re in this together.
PS - Until ocean gates are moved, we are
having to rebuild/replace old locks
damaged by salt air; please make sure
those are pushed shut to latch. You might
need to treat those gently as you would a
photocopy machine: No kicking or
slamming of fragile parts! :) Mahalo.
