quote:Mrs. Mimosa,sorry your buyer bowed out. transfer fees are collected under the authority of the charter and bylaws which say the organizations must correspond with the lot owners. HACA & HARC need the most current ownership names & addresses, which comes from the title companies upon a sale of property. that is the only authority needed in my opinion. what i am not sure of is authority to charge the amounts being charged right now.

This is typical of a simple request and why a person can not.
Laurie,My husband recalls working with you a time or two while he was on the HARC board for less than a year.
I myself have never actually met you.
Peter Epperson - You do know our hanai nephew - he stopped in your yard on Rd 1 and donated some few dollars to your kindness.
No need mention any names in this forum.
We think for the whole community,a better idea would be to eliminate HACA and HARC as two separate entities and rejoin the two,to bring the community back together as one entity .
Way to much argue and waha with both as separated non profits.
Laurie - Our buyer has of today dropped her offer and bowed out.
We are sticking to our guns on this one,refusing to pay a double or triple payment on something that is NOT mandatory.
Where in the accounting of HARC and HACA monies does it show these collected funds and which road have they gone to?
Can someone please help us out,we are a bunch of smart people and unique individual thinkers,a hardy bunch who have but one thing in common,our collective road lot.
Mrs Mimosa
justthefacts does not understand financial documents. if you accept all she says you run the risk of having incorrect info and making decisions based upon such, harming our community not helping. she tends to emphasize non-problems as problems.
mimosa, there are no "secret ways" of these organizations that work for all of us on a daily basis. I am here to help anyone understand financial docs that they are reading. many people call for such docs but dont understand what to look for if they are feeling things aren't being done correctly. actually, HACA & HARC are doing all according to generally accepted accounting practices. I have seen the current financials. (I am an experienced bookkeeper/payroll services business since 1999, with many clients and 2 employees.) HARC has had to recover from a former treasure's dismantling of such sound financial recordings (so bad a dismantling that an audit could not be done in 2011 for 2010.) She will deny this, but i have a signed letter from the office manager at the time that that treasurer intimidated and harrased to the point of desperation and the OM gave in to the treasurer's unauthorized requests to change & withhold info from the board and the membership.
Also, Mimosa, I am horrified of your feeling not welcome at the center! this is not what most of us have worked so hard for. one of my favorite things as office manger was welcoming lot owners, residents, visitors into the center to share the special things about the Acres! Please know that the current OM, Dahl, feels the exact same way as me and will welcome you as you and your family deserve so much.
Kalakoa, the work you do on the roads you use is a valid alternative way to help all of us, in my opinion. I would like to see lot owners who use their own resources in this way to be rewarded with matching funds somehow, even if they are not a HARC member. Receipts and probably pics before and after could assist in this perhaps. Or maybe membership can be granted to those of you who put down their own money on the roads.
A huge Mahalo! to Pete Epperson who has done so much work on our roads for free! His ohana deserves a free HARC membership!
