Maybe someone should put a recall petition, petition for a special membership mtg, or sign up sheet to hire an atty in the ofc....now that the board has set a precedent of a centralized location for petitions....if the board can use the ofc for a petition to alter an act of the association, then members should have that same right.
One of the candidates who signed up for the vacant seat did so 2-3 mos ago. The board spent about 15-20 min discussing his application bc no one checked his qualifications beforehand. He sd he hadn't checked the box asking whether he was an owner or not bc he's a pastor who lives in the home that is owned by a church. He made the effort to be a volunteer and showed up at the mtg...the rest was up to who to check his qualifications?
It used to be the job of the admin to check this info but now that the VP has restructured all the employees job descripts starting from scratch in 2014, who's job is it now?
During the recent board mtg one rep was adamant about getting 3 bids for anything over $1000. He stood his ground on this during the discussion phase. They are going to get pricing for outsourcing the easement work on our main drags. It's not intended to be an ongoing thing but a catch up and then assess.
The board approved approx $8000 to repair the John Deere. We have a history of broken equipment. We own more equipment than we ever have. We have had other equipment failures over the past year and the VP has often said the road crew are good mechanics.
Our road maintenance fees have been raised $10.
Thank you Judy for providing info on the dengue fever issue. She also announced the ongoing albizia work shops for HPP members. She sd that the transfer stns are now accepting tires for free because of the dengue fever outbreak, but you need to contact them in advance. Hopefully people will quit throwing their tires on HPP property which has always been a problem. The association has had to absorb these costs. Now add to it a potential health problem.
Our board still hasn't addressed the albizias growing in our easements. It's getting worse and soon those growing on Kaloli's easements will get big like on Makuu...the GM sd that there are areas on our main drags where the root system is damaging the asphalt.
The board wants to spend that $300,000 on chip seal and said the money is being "wasted" if they don't. ??? How about prioritizing and taking care of safety issues first? People travel on our roads everyday and night. How about road striping and reflectors? How about being proactive on the albizias growing on HPP easements? We need signs that identify those low flooding spots on our humpy roads that fills up w/water during heavy rain. At night you can't see them. There's a real bad one on 6th and Kaloli so beware. I'm sure there are other spots on our main drags that have this issue.
