We have conflict of interest issues w/reps, and ofc staff who are lot owners. Would hiring a mgmt company eliminate a lot of these issues? # 4 used to be handled with a board policy that was rescinded so there's nothing in place today to prevent reps from using the staff as assistants. The structure has changed quite a bit since you worked for HPP. #5 is already on BLC's radar.

Thank YOU for reading what some might consider a "rant" from a former employee. Yes, I can see that much has changed and some things remain the same. Before the 2014 raid, the three of us in the office were non-owners who took our responsibilities to HPP very seriously. The two of us out front would wrack our brains to find every penny owed the Association. To my dismay, I heard that I was suspected of "pocketing" money....the evidence being that I bought a new car every few years despite complaining of not making enough money. Obviously, the person making this accusation never had to finance a vehicle, but paid cash.....oh well.
With regards to outside management, I came to HPP in the midst of Recievership, being hired by the Reciever-appointed Manager. It was pricey, but a lot got done, mainly because the Board (who was quite miffed) stayed out of the way and let the Manager do what was necessary to maintain the physical, legal and community needs of the Association. But that was the price paid for all the infighting between the Road Maintenance and "The Hui". I remember driving down Makuu Drive and marveling that I could see all the way to the ocean because all the albezias were cut back from the road....not one branch hanging out over asphalt!

Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes. You are welcome to attend a BLC mtg to discuss some of your ideas further.

I'll always remember MOST of my time at HPP fondly. I met some really fine people, learned a lot (no pun intended), and learned the hard way that even "friendly dogs" will still bite for no apparent reason. Thanks for the invitation, but I think it's best I decline attending any meeting involving the business of HPP anymore. It hurts my heart to even think about driving onto the property.
Take care.....I'll continue to pop onto punaweb from time to time just to see what's going on.
Aloha,
