Expecting the board to follow the by laws, expecting to receive requested information in a timely manner, and for the HPPOA to follow through when they tell members they can get information in a specific way is not complaining, it expecting the Board members to do the job they asked for. Not everyone in HPP is a retiree who can go to an evening meeting on a work night, that does not diminish my right to know if this board is following the by laws in their actions.
The board told the members they could get information from their reps, then did not follow through and provide the answers to the constituents. My rep finally got in contact with me, and said no information without going to the meeting, but Laughing Girl was told Susan Escobar would answer her questions. Either everybody on this board doesn't know what the others are saying, or they are incompetent, or they are covering up misdeeds. I don't know which, but when there is a major upheaval like this, it is generally a good idea to try to be as transparent and consistent as possible.
Currently board members and their spouses are running HPP, according to my rep. The board is supposed to set policy, not take over the day to day management of the organization. Instead, they fired almost all the employees and have taken over the whole operation. If the board and their spouses had to take things over, what does this say about their plan for transition after firing the staff? It sure doesn't show much foresight if the only way to keep things running is for the board and their spouses to take the reins.
The board in its oversight role is supposed to be the entity that makes sure the employees are doing their jobs properly, now the board is doing those duties, who has oversight over the board? Are these board members and their spouses covered by our bond for money handling? What happens if one of them gets hurt on site, especially the person who is running the road crew? Are they covered? Did any of us vote in a board expecting them to take over operations?
