Roads Are Easements Not Planned Communities Or HOAs
"The real problem is that old boards do not educate new boards. So, old court docs, court orders, resolutions, policies, etc., don't get handed down. Resulting in not so much board members being in "a secret black room" and "always in the dark," but more like a group of the blind leading the blind.

I find that quite frankly to be the most insidious excuse I’ve ever heard!

So, in other words, there is no “peaceful transfer of power” between Boards?

But then, how many Boards have been elected because they more or less fought, discredited, insulted, personally attacked, name called, sued and in almost every way imaginable “shit” on the prior Board members?

Further, records, meeting minutes, court records and orders, and each and every document belong to the HPPOA Corporate Entity and not any singular or group of prior (and/or) current directors. If documents were taken, police reports should have been filed.

Having said that, I’ve served on various profit and nonprofit Boards of various entities for various reasons and generally, the first item on my agenda after being elected and/or appointed to any Board was to “get up to speed” with the entire operation and in most cases, getting up to speed by expecting any predecessor I was replacing was not the way to go about that agenda item.

At any event, I have a HPP By-Laws question:

What if no eligible voting members of HPP either come forward or are nominated and subsequently refuse to run and thus no one is elected to a Board of Directors?

Who runs the show if and when that eventually happens?

Did not say it was not peaceful. Just not informative.

Guess HPPOA needs to start charging those membership dues again.

In the meantime shouldn’t you be fighting to stop the publication of The Conch, paid for with road fees, just like you’re fighting to stop mailboxes that are paid for with road maintenance money? For consistency in your stance on how road money is used?

Nope. HPPOA doesn't mail the Conch anymore. Though they are supposed to.

Where does it say that? The bylaws state to “publish” the Conch 3 times a year.

Court docs. It was one of the conditions HPPOA told the court they would comply with.

OK - let's once again, take a step back.

Is it your contention then Patricia that HPPOA is NOT "publishing" The Conch, or "mailing" The Conch?

At any event, regardless of your contention of The Conch being either published or mailed or both, what you are then saying is that a court has already ruled that the use of "road funds" is acceptable and can be done to publish and mail a newsletter.

Here is the January 2025 edition of "The Conch" - which means it's being published.

In a time long, long ago before Al Gore invented the internet.

Am I wrong to think that a judge would allow it to be posted on the internet now instead of mailing ?

A couple of things...

One, the Conch is not just supposed to be published whenever HPPOA gets to it. There is a schedule.

Two, if you look at the past Conch that are posted on the website, you will see the gaps in YEARS

Three, the recent Conch is a "nice spread." But the Conch is not just supposed to be about feel-good, all-good stories. The Conch is supposed to educate and inform. So, think good, bad, and ugly.

There is no mention of lawsuits or updates.

There is no mention that HPPOA forgot to pay their water contract, so now are looking into (very expensive options) in order to fulfill their need to water roads to control fugitive dust. 

There is no mention that the clubhouse is going to require a lot of structural work that will probably exceed a quarter of a million dollars.

Should I go on?

The Conch you posted has JUST been made available. And again, while it is a "nice spread" and a good sell? That is not its sole purpose. It is not a church bulletin.

So, the Court Order also stated what the contents of The Conch must contain?

And again, was the Court Order to "publish" or "mail" The Conch? Or both?
