I too did not realize the extent of the BS. Honking seems simple and might be very effective. Where can I find out who is running for the board and what is the appropriate way to contact them? When is the president up for reelection?
Yes, the announcement of candidates is being kept pretty quiet. The nominations were due in to the office on September 30th. The elections committee finally met a month later. This next Board meeting should include some information.
The mid-year packet (mailed out in September)included a small pre-campaign announcement by the President that she, the current Secretary, and another Papio St. owner would be seeking election to the Board. Yes, a plug for 3 candidates paid for by association monies. Yes, all three are pro-speed bumps.
I heard that at the Election Committee meeting they were verifying 10 candidate nominations. Still no indication of who the candidates are. Your best bet would be to ask the office. They may be able to disclose this apparent closely held secret.
In the past, there has been an opportunity to "Meet the Candidates" at a forum organized by the Community Relations Committee. Don't know if that will be happening this year, but I sure hope so.
Next Board Meeting - Thursday November 10th 6pm at Honu park.
