HPP stuff

The time to bring a lawsuit against the County and the HPP association has finally arrived. I think that HPP homeowners have been duped by the biggest shysters ever known to man. The Board clearly does not have a clue, nor they ever will. Why? because in all these years that they have been functioning they have been a disaster no matter which way one looks at it. I remember when the last manager painted the stripes on the main roadways, within a couple of years they were totally faded. The crews doing roadwork do not and never did have a clue how to properly grade the roads; thank them for the potholes you have today. It does not take a brain surgeon to trim all the trees that allow rain dripping constantly on the middle of the road, nor that SUFFICIENT amount of rock must be spread after the grading is done. Additionally, the CORRECT SIZE of rock must be chosen. HPP has been badly mismanaged and if any of the new owners think that we will ever have all roads paved they are up for a big surprised. The cost was grossly miscalculated and we are spent out. People point out to places like HOVE with all paved roads and ask why can't do the same here? The Board has plenty of excuses, from Hove having access to their own rock to who knows what. The truth is HPP is a nest of complainers that do not attend meetings, and are incapable to create a consensus to fix the problems. My view is that a lawsuit would finally act like a cleanser and get people to think more clearly. HPP has been defrauding homeowners for eons with lies, and we need a court appointed management company to take over this mess now.

I concur. We've seen years of dysfunction and/or mismanagement and in some cases, corruption. It's very disheartening. Something different needs to happen..but what exactly? Rob suggested all the subdivisions joining together in a lawsuit against the county. Who wants to spearhead this? If someone would start it, I think other subdivisions would join in bc there are many people unhappy with their roads and mgmt.

Meanwhile, would we better off hiring real professionals to handle our roads, shoulders, and signage, instead of paying employees who don't always get the job done (for various reasons), or done right? Only pay for the work that was done, no $$$ spent on road crew employees; work comp or medical insurances, fuel, equipment maintenance/purchases and so forth.

Also pay as needed for add'l work. Such as making our shoulders safer; load baring, free and clear. When the emergency access road issue started, the county WAS going to work on the shoulders off Makuu from RR up to the highway bc they knew our shoulders were unsafe. Road shoulders are necessary for car break downs/accidents, EMS situations, or bail outs. So even the county assessed immediately that our shoulders were inadequate and unsafe. Unfortunately all our previous GM's were not proactive and didn't take care of this issue all these years, even when they were aware of the problem.

Other work needed would be dead animal removal (pigs, goats, cows, chickens etc.) and trash/tire pick up. There are people who live in and out of the park who think HPP is a dump site so this is ongoing added tasks.

I am not saying get rid of the board but get rid of most/all of our road employees, the road supv and sell all our road equipment etc. If we did that, would we have enough $$$ to outsource the work? Perhaps if our roads were maintained and managed more efficiently, it could result in more peace in HPP since that is usually at the heart of our unhappiness.

I'm sure that kahunascott/hppwatchdog as our former GM may wish to comment on my post here, but I would like to only have members comment. This is not his issue since he doesn't own in HPP and we no longer employ him, and therefore is moot for him to be part of this discussion.
