HPP BIZ: Part the second

[reni]

"I have talked to people who were HPP owners during the 90's receivership, and they all report well maintained roads, stable fees, and a lack of bickering. Of course, all good things must end, and the judge decided to return HPP to "democracy." We all know how that turned out. "

Chuckster, I agree with what you say here. And this is precisely what I am afraid of.
We spend $300k-$400k only to be returned to the same situation a few years later.

I had heard that a few of the new people , who had stepped up to volunteer on the Board were in favor of Professional Property Management. I had hoped that we could have at least tried this approach first. Maybe with professional oversight, we could have attracted those, who would never even consider wasting their time on what we have now.
Not to mention the liability of such "service".
It is not so much that the framework is broken, but maybe we have reached a tipping point in our society where talented, capable , experienced people are no longer willing to serve on neighborhood boards.

And you "suggest receivership to install outside professional management followed by monitoring through a governing body of non-residents appointed by the senior judges of the Hilo Circuit Court."

Well, this could be a workable solution . How do we get there from here?

No doubt the behavior of certain Board members have brought us to this point.
Although Receivership is not yet the certain outcome, there are those obviously
pushing, one could even say orchestrating current events to push us to the edge of receivership.

However, I doubt very seriously that their ultimate goal .would be for outside professional management
followed by monitoring through a governing body of non-residents appointed by the senior judges of the Hilo Circuit Court.
