Aloha Mermaid. Well said.
Ok. Back to reality.
I agree that a sturdy foundation is necessary before we can build anything, and our foundation as an Association is anything but sturdy.
One (unsettling) thing I've noticed at Board meetings is that more than one Board Member has said "I called" so and so and arranged for ------, and I always wonder if the issues "I" took care of have been initiated by a motion, discussion and vote of the BOD, or if they're just impetuous acts by individuals on the BOD. I fear the latter is the case.
The BOD is not one individual or another. It is a unit of (hopefully) 9 members. If "I" took any action, it should be because the BOD designated the person to act after due process, not just on the whim of an individual who has taken it upon themselves to act in the name of the BOD. (which has often been the case)
Unfortunately the history here is that the "majority" BOD runs the show, and dissenters (minority BOD) feel so helpless to effect change, and uncomfortable with what's going on, or afraid they're going to get sued, that they resign. This is true of this BOD and the last. These resignations leave the "majority" BOD free to "appoint" anybody they want, usually someone who agrees with their position and won't cause them any trouble. I hope this doesn't happen again with the 3 new appointees pending. I'd like to see some serious, multi viewed discussions going on before decisions are made that affect all land owners in HPP.
Those of us who have been involved in trying to set things straight here have grown weary of hearing ourselves say the same things over and over again, just to be ignored.
If the disrupters (of meetings) would just change their goal to doing right (for HPP owners) instead of always wanting to BE right, maybe we could make some progress. THAT, coupled with strict adherence of the BiLaws and laws by the BOD is absolutely necessary if we're to get anywhere near the place where my wish list can become a reality.
I'm sincerely considering moving to Montana and becoming a (quick freeze) popsicle. Enough already..
