Comments on: Next Board meeting – October 29, 2009 http://www.ilikaiowners.com/2009/10/23/next-board-meeting-october-29-2009/ Ilikai news, updates & information Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:09:58 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Olga http://www.ilikaiowners.com/2009/10/23/next-board-meeting-october-29-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-16 Olga Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:10:27 +0000 http://www.ilikaiowners.com/?p=60#comment-16 Hans, I believe Steve refers to the lawsuit against Anekona Board Directors filed by an attorney Zalewski about a year ago. As for the lawsuit against Shell: The Board does have a no-cost option in their disposal as well. What the Board should do - and should have done a long time ago - is to cite Shell for violating the Bylaws and Declaration by running their timeshare operations, give Shell 30 days to address the problem, and then start levying daily fines. This costs nothing and is the normal way to deal with violators. The Board could have done this already in March. They could do this any time. Then it would be up to Shell to sue. Whom would they sue? The Board? It would be up to Shell to sue and to prove they are not violators. Instead, the current Board, our previous legal counsel, Mr. Goodwin, and the current legal counsel, Mr. Milton Motooka, choose to close their eyes and "get along" with Shell instead.

Unfortunately, the Board with all its special interests at the time, failed to file the lawsuit against Shell prior to the latest date the lawsuit could have been filed. Thanks to Mr. Currie, the timely action was filed against Shell to preserve the statute of limitation. He was the only one to step up to the plate when no one else would risk his own money. The lawsuit against Shell is the responsibility of the Board - not an individual owner. I am pleased to know that there are owners who are truly committed to Ilikai and its well-being. Now that owners have the majority on the Board, it is time they muster the courage to do the right thing. Steve, you must be referring to the lawsuit against Shell Time Share.

I've posted re insurance. I'll look through the Board meetings' minutes re the $74K. Steve, thanks for raising these valid and important concerns. I’ve posted re insurance.

Seems like the Board didn't send out bids in a timely manner which cost us much more than it should have. Also, I understand that the group that filed the law suit, ran for the Board and then approved funds from the AOAO to pay for their legal fees which was around $74,000. I'm told the Board of Directors did not underwrite or support this law suit when originally filed. If that's the case, just because some of those who filed the lawsuit are now on the Board, why should the Board authorize AOAO funds to pay their bills? I'd like more information on this situation.

Almost the entire Board will be for re-election in March.
