I'd like to see 10 Commandments the Board should obey.
I've been trying not to think about it, but tomorrow is the first of weekly Board Meetings scheduled in order to "catch up" with HPP business in the Activity Center Library. (room capacity about 35 people. No space for rabble rousers or concerned residents) More info. on Special Board Meeting on HPPOA website if you're interested.
Owners will not be allowed to speak, as we are "guests". We will be allowed to write our input on index cards. Not sure when they plan to respond to those, or if they plan to supply index cards. (byo)
They will be deciding if HAAS school gets to have our Activity Center 5 days a week (guess they think we won't need it) if the lava crosses the highway. Maku'u will already be congested, so what's one more school bus?
We already have commitments to several clubs and groups who rent the space on a regular basis and we also might have to use it to support our community needs as provided by Civil Defense, County, Red Cross and other volunteers.
HAAS is a great school, and I'd love to help them place their students, (up to 90 teenagers) but I think the needs of our whole community should come first. Maybe we can brainstorm another venue for the school. Any ideas?
I get the feeling that it's a "done deal" already. Apparently the needs of over 12,000 residents aren't really that important to the Board, as evidenced by us having to go everywhere BUT HPP for emergency supplies the first week after the storm. Sitting in the sun waiting for ice at the Fire Station, Churches in Pahoa and on 32nd and Pahoa H.S. for 3 hours was fun. (not) (btw, Mahalo to all the Churches who helped us)
It's too bad we never know who we're voting for before they're already Board Members. A one paragraph Bio doesn't really tell the whole story. In many cases, by the time we get to know the person, it's too late.
I really love HPP and my home but if I had known what I know now about the "Association" I wouldn't have bought land here. (hindsight is always so clear)
I hope everybody who attends the meeting will update us all tomorrow. It should be interesting to see what is decided. It will affect us all.
