In 2007, Chip Sealing was planned for road paving in HPP until the Road Traffic Safety Committee shot it down. The board did not approve the project. So…here we are again. The Group Of Ten (GOT) (that scrappy group of residents who chase the rest of you out of meetings) is again trying to sabotage chip sealing for the gravel roads. For the first increment, $350,000 has been allotted. If road paving is an issue for you, please let your voice be heard. Let us not let these funds go to waste. (This is the former Pres's msg posted on the HPP website)

Just to clarify, the RTSC which started in 2010 isn't the same entity that the former Pres is speaking about. Prior to 2010, the committee was called RTSPC "Road Traffic Safety Policies Committee". Since the newly formed committee wasn't allowed to make policies, I asked the board to allow us to drop the "P" out of the name. So the recently decommissioned RTSC has nothing to do w/what she's talking about.
First of all, I can't believe the board allowed the msg to be put out there for all to see. They should be embarrassed. The above is just a snip of her entire blunder of a msg. Ruth Mizuba is harassing members by calling them "that scrappy group blah blah blah". That's against a board member's oath isn't it? That's not fostering an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation for members to assist in managing HPP per our bylaws, is it? Her claim that members leave bc of this GOT is an exaggeration. Maybe 4, her chip seal supporters leave??? She continues to put her foot in her mouth. And members thought BJ was bad???
This "GOT" that the former Pres likes to refer to are actually not a group of 10. It's more like 4 who get up and speak often (for the membership) at board mtgs and membership mtgs. Maybe we feel like a group of 10 to them. As posted earlier in this thread, members present at our last membership mtg supported the motion to request the board provide a presentation at the Oct membership mtg regarding the chip seal. That motion is still very much alive and is supposed to be picked up at our membership mtg in Oct. This majority board of 3 has illegally tried to side step this motion at the last board mtg by trying to shove the chip seal through. They don't care about our bylaws, RR's or what members have to say. This group of 2 "GO2" stated point of order. The first point of order was ignored. The 2nd point of order was ignored. One of the 3 board's supporters yelled "shut up!" viciously. She wasn't called to order by the former Pres or the VP.
Again I have to say, 3 of the board who keep pushing chip seal and their member supporters, aren't promoting transparency. One member has an agenda to get it on her road and her road was slated to be the first at the last board mtg. It wasn't the GO2 who thwarted it per se. The GM said he'd like to look into another product and that the contractor for chip seal has some legal issues going on right now.
Yet unbelievably certain people still wanted to shove it through any ways. The treasurer said let's not waste the $ even on one road if the GM is going to explore a different product. That makes sense doesn't it? And since when does funds "go to waste" when they're not being spent as the former Pres states in her Pres msg???? This is the former Pres for you wanting to spend spend spend our monies. If she's not informed about other things she says and writes, then what about her knowledge or lack of, regarding the spending of members' monies on chip seal?
I feel like this issue keeps getting shoved down our throat because 3 board reps doesn't think the membership has any rights to vote on this very expensive and extensive project. We are merely asking for more information via a presentation so WE CAN VOTE informed. They don't want us to vote or have any say. Why not is the question? Is there something to hide? This is about transparency period. These 3-4 board members and their supporters just can't seem to get it. TRANSPARENCY OF OUR MONIES is all we want. Especially this amount of money!
