Aloha Johnd. Sadly, I agree with much of your last post. Your statement that " (bs) committees and bylaw rewrites" are useless til such time as we have honest and intelligent leadership, be it the BOD, Court, whoever is right on. Historically, the BOD has nixed any recommendations of Committees , however relevant they might be. (As in the Road Traffic Safety Committee, who recommended striping the main drags, installing reflectors, keeping reasonable line of sight on corners etc,.) Rather than consider these safety issues, the BOD disbanded the committee. They really don't want anyone knowing what's going on or making recommendations. They don't like sharing information or power. Anyone looking over their shoulder is a risk to them and their stranglehold over HPP residents.
The Finance Committee, also is unable to do an informed job of keeping their eye on our $ because they are not provided with current, accurate financial information, which we all are entitled to on request, committee member or not. They are not even consulted before making $100,000+ purchases. No bids, no discussion.
I'm sorry to say that so far the AG in Honolulu has not acted in our behalf even though they have been kept apprised of our situation for at Least 2 years, as recently as today. Lots of people have contacted them. I keep hoping that if enough of us raise concerns, they will act. As my Grannie said, "if at first you don't succeed, try try again". I haven't given up and hope other Owners will speak up. Please!
This problem ( us being legally and financially responsible for the BOD's illegal and immoral actions ) isn't going away if we just keep meekly paying for a service we're not getting.
I hope we, as a Community, can find the answers to this mutual threat to our security and our homes.
Til then, we wish HPP and PW Ohana a happy, healthy 2017!
