HPP road maintainence

[mermaid53]

Mermaid if hpp has it's workers doing the chip seal work it does not matter in order to do the work there must be a licensed contractor representing it..it is the state law private roads or not doesn't matter

At the last membership mtg, a member asked the board whether there was a licensed contractor involved w/the CS work. Dist 3 rep replied that HPP is a private subdivision so it's not required. The member responded sarcastically that if that was the case, then anyone who works w/in HPP doesn't require a contractor's license bc it's a private subdivision? I think most of us got that the answer was NO, HPP doesn't have a licensed contractor, and that Dist 3 was either clueless or wasn't being honest. So it appears having a licensed contractor means nothing to the board and GM. They knew he was unlicensed from day 2 yet moved forward. (Many people informed the board in early 2015)

I bet he nor anyone else on the board stated in the last meeting that legally they are not allowed to chip seal seeing as they are all being investigated!!! Check into that rumor at the next meeting might shake em up.

That's interesting but I'm sure the board won't discuss this openly at a board mtg...

There's also just whinging on forums and hoping the problem goes away. How's that working out for everyone?

Actually kalakoa, a tide has turned. As noted in the last board mtg's GM report, lots of members are submitting requests for "road material" now....NOT only requests to fill potholes as was reported over the past year or more. Could it be that this thread had something to do w/that? The dots could be connecting. People are looking at their roads w/new eyes and realizing there's no rock on their road! It's been so long since road material's been dropped on roads that some have forgotten what it used to look like. New people have moved in and never saw what it used to look like. There's no question that HPP's prevalent pothole problems are connected to lack of rock material. People are seeing that filling potholes, and grading and rolling is a band aid fix. I strongly believe it's also a waste of association money and road crew labor. There's lots of new reps coming in soon and members should reach out and email or speak to their reps.

There's at least 1 current board member who posts on PT. There are current reps who read HPP threads, and there could be incoming reps reading. The # of hits can be quite high at times which indicates people are reading. So I feel it's a worthwhile venue. (Mahalo Rob for providing us this service)

I don't believe it's just a coincidence when someone complains about a road maint issue here on PT, and 4-5 days later (after 2 yrs of no action) it gets taken care of.
