This person then went to the HPPOA office and told the GM what they were going to do and the very next day the road maintenance crew came out and actually graded, rolled and laid rock on the entire section (not just spot fill) and rolled it.
I requested road material for my road back in March 2016...still nothing. It's not right that we have to go this route to get any work done on our road nowadays. This is what our road crew is paid to do on a regular schedule.
The road crew gets paid whether the roads and easements are being maintained or not. A lot of $ goes into repairs of broken down equipment. Work isn't getting done if the equipment's broken. If we outsourced the work, we'd only pay out for work that was completed.
The association bought a $47,000 truck recently for the GM and road crew. Seems we could've saved some $ if we had bought a decent "used" truck...and this is when there seems to be little funds for road maintenance...i.e. quality road material, road striping and reflectors. Priorities are screwed up.
