This is public record from the DOH posted today that all HPP members should read. It's an agreement between the DOH and HPP regarding the fine we received March 2017 for fugitive dust complaints. HPP members can make comments to the DOH if they wish and they will be considered by the DOH before all is finalized. HPP attorney Thomas Yeh had advised the board that they should put the membership in the loop but they did not. Please pay attention to the enforcement...if the GM doesn't keep up his end of the bargain etc. This would affect the association and this is why the membership should've been made aware of this by the majority board, NOT ME.

Please also keep in mind that HPP stayed out of trouble w/the DOH for the most part by following guidelines that were set up prior to Jul 2014. From that point on, the majority boards did not follow the guidelines...i.e. continue to asphalt pave at least one road per year and continue with scheduled road maintenance...i.e. drop road gravel on the entire road, not spot drop filling potholes = $$$ down the toilet. The road fee money was instead diverted to chip seal so scheduled road maintenance of dropping road gravel came to a screeching halt = widespread road neglect = our very first fugitive dust violation attached with a fine in Mar 2017. Scheduled dropping of road gravel on our roads is not being done still as evidenced by the potholes replaced by craters on our roads today.
At this point in time, we pretty much have the same president (Crelly) and VP (Mizuba Dist2) in charge that were officers over the past 3 yrs and huge supporters of chip seal. Now we see failing chip seal on our roads that came at a heavy price tag. That's not counting it's removal price tag when it's time. There was supposed to be a Phase 2 and fortunately new board members that came on in Jul 2017 wouldn't approve signing a contract for the next phase. A couple months after that when the Finance Committee was finally able to see the existing contract after a few yrs of non transparency, they advised the board to sever the contract as it was an illegal contract...the GM signed it, the contractor had no license and there was no Work Comp insurance.
The board power flipped when Craig Crelly got back on the board and the Finance Committee and the Association is back in the dark ages again. The GM is doing the budget w/out FC oversight. That's against the bylaws.
