New KBV Ballot in the mail [separated from older thread]

If it was me and I had weeks in RCI I couldn't use by shutdown, I'd merge/extend the TPU. I think that has a chance of making them no longer identifiable as coming from this resort. It's a bit of a risk because of the fees (and if it doesn't work you've paid the fees for nothing) but that's what I'd do.first to this forum.. owners at KBV 22 years. We received

First time posting … we have been interval owners KBV for 25 years . We received a Ballot today “ consent to Vote on the Incorporation of the Association of Apartment Owners Of KBV a “ Hawaii non
Profit “. Any idea on what & why the Board is presenting this? What if any benefits to owners? The last time we voted … due to litigation nothing came from that vote. Needless to say our current ownership with Kauii Beach Villas is less than desirable.. we appreciate any information.

Did this come by email, or in the US mail?

Just got the mail: We got these ballots today, too - I have no idea what it's about.

… As owners we are entitled to an explanation and more accountability from the Board of Directors. I can only imagine how many owners have no idea what’s happening. I often wonder if the board counts on that..

I received mine yesterday and have been thinking about what the motivation to do this now would be. The one thing I am certain of is that our Interval BOD does not have out best interests in mind in allowing us to vote on this.

The AOAO states that the reason is to incorporate is to "limit association members' liability for debts and negligence of an association", "provide greater protection for its board members", and "to facilitate an association's ability to borrow funds .....to pay for major maintenance or capital improvement projects".

I question why these additional protections have become important after all these years. Is the AOAO BOD stacked with WYN collaborators like the IOA is? Why would they need the ability to borrow for major maintenance projects when they will be making a special assessment to the apartment owners? Why would the association members liability for debts and negligence of the association need to be limited.

I plan to vote NO, but will not vote until closer to the deadline so additional comments from this group can be considered.

I am not clear on the timeline, but did our BOD move forward with the remediation of Buildings G, H, and I just after the AOAO lawsuit was settled? Does anyone know anything about the settlement terms? Maybe just a coincidence, but maybe not.

I have attached a copy of the letters from both BOD's in case others have not received theirs. I would appreciate hearing comments on what others think could be going on here.

Received ours today, too. Didn’t know which way to vote. Thanks for some info. Will see what happens before deadline. You asked a lot of my questions. Greater protection for the board members? What about US? I will keep checking back. Thanks again for reading my mind.

Hello, The KBV Board of directors just sent out a ballot for timeshare owners to vote to"incorporate the Association of Apartment Owners of Kauai Beach Villas" into a Hawaii nonprofit corporation.
There was almost no explanation of what that all means for the owners? But one thing that it did say was that it made it easier for the board to borrow money? and I'm not sure that is a good thing for the timeshare owners at this point? Does anyone have any idea of what this really means? Should we be voting for or against this measure?

Aloha,
We’re at Shearwater till next Thursday and will be at KBV for the rest of February. I’ve perused the attached file. Given how few owners bother to respond to ballots like this my guess is that Wyndham will vote however it chooses. I encourage everyone who has questions to post them at the bottom of
