If it is here, then that is possibly a violation of our bylaws and a poke to the eye of the board with a sharp stick (unless the board was in on the charade vote of approval), besides the already mentioned violation of bypassing the Finance Committee.
Unfortunately, this is business as usual for these reps AND they're teaching the newbies illegal practices....round and round we go. And that is why these reps like it when newby reps don't know our bylaws and policies. WE DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS.
If the treasurer doesn't have a background in acctg, then this is sorely irresponsible of him, and typical behavior by reps who only wish to manipulate him. I suspect that is why the treasurer who was new in Jul 2016 resigned from the board 2 months later..he had ethics and strong character. And the next one in line was deposed bc he had too much acctg experience. It's really unbelievable that this board thinks we don't see through these maneuvers of theirs. Has anyone read the duties of the treasurer in our bylaws? There's a lot of responsibilities. I wonder if he's read them....
It appears that this board is just biting time until June 2017, hoping they can keep delaying anyone from seeing the detailed financials. By June 2017, it'll be 1 1/2 yrs since anyone's seen detailed financials. As another member suggested, we should have a forensic audit. The annual audit is only as good as what is provided to the auditor by guess who.
The current FC members are experienced and knowledgeable in HPP business and finances, which is what the membership would want and expect. In an ethical world, the board would wish the same.
Meanwhile the majority board will keep spending our $$$$ on chip seal, trucks etc, bypassing our checks and balances (the FC), and ignoring the promise they made to US when they took their oaths to uphold the bylaws... to the 3 who've been on the board since 2014: there's no excuses for you after almost 3 yrs on the board. Dist 6 is now the board Pres after deposing Dist 4's rep while he was on Xmas vacation. This makes evident the kind of characters we have on this board.
How many mtgs has the FC actually been able to have since they were formed in June 2016, given all these board maneuvers and interference? If they were allowed to do their job for US, then WE could attend as well.
Logic tells me only a board and GM that have something/s to hide w/OUR $$$$$$$ would pull these kinds of unethical and bylaw breaking maneuvers, and be so contemptuous towards members who only ask for transparency and to follow our bylaws. They don't seem to get or care that if they did, instead members would be supporting them, volunteering their time to make HPP a happier and safer place for all members. That's why I believe something's going on...something's to be lost and/or discovered...
The next membership mtg is 26 Feb, last Sunday of the month @ 3 PM. Ask questions. They better answer them, it's not a board mtg!
