I spoke with someone on the Mailbox Committee. She said she had checked with the Honolulu USPS and the trend is to move towards cluster boxes and away from home delivery. Would someone be interested in taking it all the way to the top to find out if it's truly definitive that there are no other options for HPP?
Dist2 R Mizuba VP and Dist6 P Murdoch are once again taking the membership on a merry go round w/their mailbox agenda. According to Mizuba's report at the board meeting this past Wednesday evening, she has every intention of using 1-2 acres on one of our 20 acre deed restricted lots to install free mailboxes. THEY CAN'T DO THAT for 2 reasons. 1) The board hasn't voted for it at any board meeting I've been to. 2) If Mizuba and Murdoch and the rest of the majority board violate the deed restriction, any lot owner in HPP can file a suit against the association = All of us. It's in black and white in the deed. Can't bring in mailboxes free or not if there's no land to install them. We saw the cart before the horse maneuver last year.
Options to acquire land for mailboxes? Fund raise, grant write, get donations to buy lots in HPP for mailboxes? Then you'll have "NOT in my back yard issues". Members should form a mailbox committee and find out what the possibilities are (and not under board control).
HPP wants mailboxes but it needs to come about by legal and well planned decisions. Dist2 rep Mizuba has said she doesn't care that 600+ members voted no last year. None of our money should go into Mizuba and Murdoch's mailbox project. Are they willing to risk a lawsuit and throw OUR money down the toilet? Don't know if this is just plain stupidity or a total disregard of the law and how our money is spent.
The deed restriction properties were discussed thoroughly at a board meeting last year when L Laucik, the former transparent board director was president. Mizuba and Murdoch were present. The conclusion was that HPP can't use any of the 20 acre lots for mailboxes. What part of "can't" does Mizuba and Murdoch not understand? Now that they and their people are back in power on the board, do they somehow think that changes the deed restriction verbiage?
The $100,000 they have in their mailbox piggy bank came from road fees. At the last board meeting Dist6 rep P Murdoch was remarking AGAIN that funds are very limited for road striping. (How about using that $100,000?) The lack of a proper center line on our main drags is a very very serious safety issue. It's evident that their priorities aren't about road safety.
