Please remember that most people with real jobs cannot participate in meetings during normal business hours, they are at work. I do think this board has enough unfinished business, like approving and posting past minutes, that meeting during these hours is justified, but don't take the absence of members at a meeting on a weekday morning to mean we don't care. I cannot burn a personal day (I get 2 a year) to attend something like this, plus my school would have to pay a substitute, but I do care what happens at these meetings.

I'm glad to see you agree that it takes a board meeting, BUT without disruptions, to get business done. Like approving minutes from the previous board meeting before they can be posted on HPP's website. Agree that there's quite a bit of unfinished business that they'll finally be able to tend to by meeting once a week. What a great idea. As HawaiiDeborah stated, hoping that order will prevail, for once, so they can get their business done. Then you'll be able to read the minutes on line like others will have to who can't attend these meetings.
