No one "qualified" would want a thankless job on the board of HPP that requires an excessive amount of work with no compensation. The county should take it over. But they wont because of the excessive costs involved. And if by some chance they are forced to take it over...everyone's property taxes would skyrocket. It's a no win situation.
We are talking about a massive subdivision ripe for development taking over 2million dollars a year, with a substantial kitty on top of it all. The current Board does not provide the services and it is becoming a very strong and omnipotent bunch of people that want to cement their power exclusively for their own personal reasons.
The time for an unpaid board is over. The time of endless unproductive, sheer diatribe WAS! At this point we do need and external management appointed by the Courts. Will it cost us more? Yes, but we could finally have a transparent system, roads built and maintained and our debt restructured so it does not continue to absorb most of our contributions. This is by no means something that can be tackled by a Board, whether is paid or not.
Do we want our properties value go up or down? Has anyone noticed how the real estate value is going in the Big Island? Selling everywhere,but no so hot in HPP? Why? Because buyers stay away from problematic associations! We are sitting in one of the most desirable subdivisions in terms of location and lot size yet we are at the bottom of the ladder as far as infrastructure is concerned compared to the ones like Hove for instance, what about Hawaiian Beaches where they have roads and their own running water?
If we do not take down this baby dragon once and for all our incredible subdivision is really toast and we will be paying more for nothing. What is going to take for us to do something really proactive about these endless stupid boards, about the improvement our roads for God's sakes??
