Meet Our New Manager
Hawaiian Tel Internet Service
The Board has accepted Hawaiian Tel’s offer for free internet upgrade to fiber optics which will increase the speed from up to 7 mb to up to 25 mb for the remainder of the current contract, which is October 2015. Non-subscribers of Hawaiian Tel can choose to switch to Hawaiian internet at no cost. If you have a landline phone, and you do choose the fiber upgrade, your landline will migrate to fiber. The existing features of your landline will remain and so will your cost; however, in case of a power outage the battery backup service will last for 6 – 8 hours.
All existing phone cabling will need to be re-routed to a new box located near your TV. There may be instances when the wiring needs to be externally installed and covered with molding.
If you choose to upgrade to fiber optics, then a Hawaiian Tel technician will need access to your unit. Each resident has the option to upgrade to fiber.
An informational meeting with additional details will be held shortly. If you have questions, please email movil@hawaiiantel.net or call the office.
How Do You Feel About a Doggie DNA Program at MV?
The Board is considering a Doggie DNA program to combat the problem within our village and would like your input. Are you for or against a Doggie DNA program? Please send a message with your feedback to movil@hawaiiantel.net.
Neighborhood Watch
Ongoing security within Moanalua Village is very important. Will you be leaving on an extended vacation? Do you work at odd hours? Would you feel safer while away from your unit if someone who lives close to you had your contact information? Perhaps your neighbor(s) would keep a watch out for unusual activity around your unit. The Board is wondering whether you may be interested in participating in a voluntary neighborhood watch program. If your are interested, please send a message to movil@hawaiiantel.net or call 836-3383.
MV Board of Directors Opening
There is an opening on the Board of Directors. If you can contribute your time one evening a month, please see one of the Board Members or send a message to movil@hawaiiantel.net.
Be A Good Neighbor
Please be mindful of the volume of your music within your unit. Oftentimes, residents do not realize that the bass tone of their stereo system or their gaming system is causing reverberations/loud noise on the abutting unit. Please be sure to keep your music and/or gaming systems at a reasonable level.
Individuals using the Recreation Center should also be mindful of the noise level of their music and keep their entertainment at a reasonable level.
Recycling
Recycling at MV is on Friday. Bag each type of recyclable separately and leave at the end of your driveway by 9 AM. Please make sure recyclables are clean, and remove lids and caps from containers and bottles.
Entry Gate
The double entry gate are to be meant to be used only for vehicles and not pedestrians. We have been experiencing many episodes of problems with the gate due to over usage. If you are a pedestrian, please use the pedestrian gate.
Guest Parking Pass
Whenever possible, please allow 24 hours’ notice when you request a guest parking pass.
Work Around Moanalua Village
Pursuant to an inspection of each building’s roof, Moanalua Village has engaged a roofer to reshingle many of our roofs. The roofing project is expected to continue through mid August. The roof tops that were deemed to be adequate will be delayed.
In addition, new dumpster roof tops have been completed. The old ones were water-logged causing hazardous condition. If you notice any light bulb outages or broken sprinkler heads, please send a message to movil@hawaiiantel.net or call 836-3383.
Next Meeting of the Board of Directors
The next meeting of the Moanalua Village Board of Directors is scheduled for Wednesday, July 16th in the Recreation Center at 6:30 PM. All residents and owners are welcome to attend.
