Happy Holidays from Your Board of Directors:

MODIFICATIONS OF COMMON ELEMENTS:  
The below references to our Declaration and By-laws are what the Board has advised on numerous occasions regarding modifications to common elements are to be vetted through the resident manager and the Board of Directors before making any said repair or modification.  The lanais and front entrance decks are never allowed modifications.  Any damage due to the unauthorized modifications will be paid for by the owner of the unit.   If you currently have tile or flooring on top of the cement deck, you are at risk for significant costs if water intrudes into existing structures below the surface of the flooring.

PARKING LOT SAFETY
Please be aware, for the safety of all, that our parking lot is also a pedestrian walkway and drive accordingly.  Drivers sometimes move at a speed appropriate for a roadway, so be aware and watch for neighbors, people walking their dogs, and especially children.  Additionally, the parking lot is not an appropriate place for children to play, please ensure your children are aware, especially children on riding their scooters, etc.  
WEBSITE 
The complex website is now current and has been updated to ensure the latest information and initiatives are provided as we move on them.   Kaimalamarina@org.com has every form or contact number that you will need.
MARINA SAFETY
Please be aware, for the safety of all, that children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian AT ALL TIMES while their children are on the marina, and especially while engaged in fishing of any kind, which could be a potential trip-and-fall hazard that the Kaimala Marina AOAO would not be responsible for in any way.
