I appreciate the suggestion to Mermaid to change the way she posted Rob! It was confusing and looked like she was putting words in my mouth there.. And, thanks Mermaid for the edit. Your posts are generally quite long and your comments took over my post.
As I stated before, I never imagined I would make a post on Puna Web, but when I continually saw and heard people posting and saying total untruths I hit my limit.
It appears I lumped the whole board together. I do not know the new members nor do I now how they have obtained their information to base any decisions they have made. I am hoping that they are willing and able to stand firm and look at all sides and decipher the truth. My comments were about the remaining board members. The 4 or 5 out of the original 9. Since Frances didn't attend almost all the meetings last term and wasn't around much at the beginning and Roseann's board membership has been a revolving door and we have no clue how she got back on the board when her position was posted. So logically, it would appear that most of the decisions have been made by 3 members. Not good odds for ALL of us homeowners.
A grave concern of mine is that the treasurer is doing the financial work. That is a serious violation. It is unethical. She has no one checking her work. I can not imagine even contemplating putting myself in this position nor would any ethical, moral person. It is just so wrong in so many ways. Also... does anyone have the police report # for the alleged missing items that a board members husband was making and filing? As he stated, there wasn't an inventory list, he was the only one in the shop but he knew items were missing. Another breach in the conduct code and any career police officer would know better than to taint evidence. Isn't that Crime scene 101? And the generator that was in the shop; it was at a board members home instead of helping us all out after Iselle.
Just a few examples of these remainder board members arrogance at our expense.
Previous boards have made many mistakes. We should have learned from them so they wouldn't be repeated, not used them as an excuse or cop out for future violations. Where does this get us? Calling names, accusing other home owners of doing all kinds of things with no proof? I can answer that. NOWHERE. 2 wrongs don't make a right and you can't pick and choose the rules you want to follow when you want to. (At least that is how I was raised.)These board members have not suffered any consequences for their violations so why would they stop? They must not have a moral compass or they would want to follow the by-laws and codes of conduct and represent us all well. This board(not the new members) is run a muck. They have shown more than a dozen times they have no intentions of following the by-laws. And I restate...Thank goodness for the brave souls who went through all the work and effort to pull together the "Special Members Meeting" . We all owe them our gratitude for seeing what was happening right away and trying to inform the members. The meeting was ligit. It was factual but they were treated so disrespectfully by a handful of antagonists and the board (the real minutes have never been posted)If more had actually listened maybe something could have been done before things got so out of hand.
