And this is a surprise . . . because? I've been living in HPP for over 11 years now, and it never gets better no matter who's on the board or who the manager is. Significant numbers of the more reasonable people only get motivated to participate when things get desperately bad, such as when the current BOD president and manager floated a proposal to do a huge assessment to satisify the dust complaints by paving all the roads. The recent election was handled in a clearly unethical way by having the BOD president being in charge of it when she was a candidate. She was asked to recuse herself, but refused. She ended up getting back in by drawing the longest straw after a tie vote of 72-72, so it seems HPP can't even catch a break on a game of chance tie breaker! We must be cursed. And that 144 vote turnout works out to be about 16% of the 900 eligible property owners. There's a General Membership meeting on Sunday, June 30 at 3 p.m., but only go for the entertainment value because the BOD routinely ignores resolutions passed by the members with which they disagree. Only a lawsuit will produce some real changes, and that will only be temporary unless more people pay attention to what is going on.
