Article XV - Alternative Dispute Resolution discusses arbitration.. "In the event of disagreements between the board, its committees, employees, volunteers of the Association, or any of the lot owners of the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision arising from or relating to the interpretation or implementation of the provisions of these bylaws, the parties shall pursue dispute resolution by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and Chapter 658A of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, as amended. Arbitration shall be binding on parties to the controversy. Any judgment and/or award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof."

Bringing this forward again. We have these provisions when there's a dispute of our bylaws. I was told hiring an atty for this dispute isn't in our bylaws...it's arbitration.

If you've nothing to hide, adding these two new members on the Finance Committee wouldn't have this magnitude of an issue by the ladies of the board. Information getting to any member who asks for it wouldn't be an issue nor it getting into the TE's hands. I don't know if anything is up, maybe nothing, but it sure brings one to speculate.

If this board would be more transparent and professional in how they conduct themselves, maybe the members would quit questioning their motives and actions and trust could be rebuilt.

Learn and follow our bylaws, policies and RR's; encourage and welcome membership participation instead of feeling threatened by it; conduct HPP biz in the open at board mtgs, not behind closed doors in exec session; improve communication and openness on our website by posting information promptly instead of removing HPP history and policies; provide financial information promptly to any member who requests it. Send annual financial info that is required in our bylaws to the members; involve the membership in financial and non financial decisions that significantly affects the whole association through willingness to discuss matters with us openly at membership mtgs. Many of us would feel more confident if we were allowed to vote on items that affect us significantly instead of being told it's none of our business; stop board retaliations towards members and stop rogue board actions. Make those reps accountable as is required in our bylaws to stop the cycle that spawns mistrust and dissension in the community. That's why these rules exist and why we're in the state we're in when rules aren't followed.

Some of this board regards these expectations as negativity towards them. That WE are wrong and to be regarded as pests. We could have better vibes and trust between the board and members if they were willing to make the change. I know some of the board, their friends and family reads this thread. "Be the change you want to see".
