Steve1,
You said "over a week ago I called "...
That would be New Years Week...as was the case with most Puna businesses, they were on a short work week due to the holidays.
What utility or large company servicing 11,000 people would get a phone call on a message machine during New Years week and call you back ? Not any large business I know in Puna would do that, especially when this concerns road work which needs a work order to be filled out.
You need to either call them back when it is not a holiday week, during normal business hours and talk to a person, or better still, go in and fill out a work request. We all pay the same road fees as you do and we all have to wait in line to get the road work we request done. At least this read crew keeps a list and does the work, which is better then the last road crew.
Go into the office, fill out a work order request, get on the list, and wait your turn. If you are not getting results in a few weeks time, Call in during business hours and ask where you are on the list. This is a huge subdivision with lots of road issues left over from the last road crew. It takes time to catch up.
--------------------------------------------------------
You said "Say 10% for example, so if only 120 people voted in a district then it would require 12 signatures to initiate a recall election, and I would also suggest that the recall vote be determined by a simple majority, not a 2/3 vote."
Are you joking here? The last members meeting there were 2 members who could do a recall just with their votes alone. One member held up 13 voting cards and the member beside him held up 9 voting cards. So if one member owning 12 lots votes, then he gets his way? NO!
