Good point John, so how do we go about getting a huge amount of people to not pay their dues knowing the board can start charging interest when we hit the $500 mark.I am only speculating but I would assume it would take 500 members to not pay to make the board notice. Some one would have to draft a professional letter and have it mailed certified to the bond holder informing them of the default.
About the bond. I know a lot of people have strong feelings about it but at this point it might be the thing that actually helps us. When the bond was procured, I do believe intentions were for the good here but the board drug their feet for a long time. To long because by the time they took actions petroleum prices went through the roof. No one could have anticipated this. It was bad timing but we should have learned a valuable lesson with it and that is to stick to maintaining excellent gravel roads. Those who complain about "fugitive dust"( a term used for construction sites that has been abused) need to fall on deaf ears. They bought a house or property on a non-paved road. Slowing speeding cars and using other methods to keep dust down is whole lot cheaper than chip seal(which already is not holding up and they have just begun)
Mao Tse Jo is destroying HPP. By now we know she is really mental yet the other board members are spineless wimps or lap dogs. Go figure how feeble minded they are to continually chose to break the bylaws in favor of not having to put her in her place which in my opinion should be on a deserted island.
A default will be a consequence of not paying the fees by a respectable amount of property owners, no one needs to write any letters.
But a motion must be submitted to the Board to put the road association under proffessional management because of their failure to deliver as stated on the bylaws. BTW, whether anyone bought on a paved road or not is irrelevant, the bond was obtained to pave all roads. If your road is not paved, you have been taken for a ride.
I suggested that we set a well written and documented Facebook page to offer connectivity for all HPP owners. We are a huge subdivision with many absent owners who probably feel as frustrated as we are but feel powerless.
The poor souls that still brave those useless member meetings are just insulted and laughed at, just read the minutes...it is sad to say the least. There is a need for an alternative site (s) as well as a Twitter feed.
We should network with elected officials and seek the advice of legal professionals, not coconut wireless subscribers.
All I can say is, that the process needs to start somewhere and it starts by saying the buck stops here. Not paying dues for a year or two will not harm anyone ( but for few extra dollars), but it will have a profound effect on the Board and the manager. In my view it is the only way to put a quick stop to all the mismanagemenmt and Board abuses.
The process needs to start somewhere else,other than on this thread.
