Aloha Ke Nani Kai Homeowners,

During the next several months Ke Nani Kai AOAO will be facing increasing costs due to legal fees and insurance costs, as well as expected increases in electricity and propane costs. As a way to manage these increases, the Board is considering making changes to the current budget.

This short survey is designed to help align future Board actions with Homeowner priorities. Please help us out by providing responses to the questions on the following pages:
- The survey should take 5 minutes or less to complete
- Each condo unit can complete only one survey; no duplicates will be accepted
- Survey responses will be aggregated for reporting purposes; all individual responses are kept strictly anonymous
- You have until Tuesday, July 3 to complete the survey; the survey link will be disabled after that date
- Results of the survey will be shared with all Homeowners in an upcoming email from the Board

NOTE: This survey is NOT a vote on changes to be made at KNK. It is simply a method of gathering owner input to help guide future Board decisions.

* With the street lights cleaned and fixed there is sufficient light during the night hours. Reduce use of electricity by cutting back on the use of outdoor lights, (e.g., replace walkway lights with solar pathway lights). Estimated savings $2,400.
* We have set aside money to continue contracts of temporary employees doing carpentry & painting work on the property. Discontinue use of temporary maintenance staff once current projects are completed (estimated completion date is August 1). Estimated savings $52,000.
* Increase unaccompanied guest fee from $10 to $20. Estimated increase in revenue: $3,000.
* Increase soda pop prices from $1.00 to $1.50. Estimated increase in revenue: $300.
* Increase AOAO fees by $40 per month per unit. Estimated increase in revenue: $28,000.
 
 
 
* Cable TV and Internet services are currently provided to all units as part of the AOAO monthly fees. In March 2013 our contract with Oceanic Time Warner will expire, leaving us the choice to continue or discontinue this service.

Which of the following choices do you prefer:
 
Renew our site-wide contract for cable TV and High-Speed Internet services with Oceanic. The expected renewal cost of this is $60,000-$65,000 per year (amounts to approximately $42-$45 per unit per month).
 
Discontinue our site-wide contract with Oceanic and allow owners who want cable TV and/or Internet services to purchase them individually. According to the Oceanic website, bundled Cable/Internet packages for basic services start at $85/month + connection fees. (See www.oceanic.com for more information and complete pricing options.)
