HPP BIZ: Part the third

[KPHawaii]

I’ve been sitting back reading every word from the beginning of the HPP BIZ Parts 1, 2 and 3. It’s been hard to stay quiet but I’ve managed until now. I’m wondering if anyone is truly interested in trying to resolve the issues, which we all can agree are enormous.

It’s easy to hide behind handles but I choose not to. We talk about transparency but hide our real names. Don’t you all think you’d have more credibility if everyone knew who you were? Or, is that why you hide?

I’ve tried to stay impartial but it gets harder and harder. I’m hated by one side because of association, which is unfair. Yes, Tanya will tell you I have my faults and I know I’ve said and done a few things that maybe I shouldn’t have, but I can be impartial and fair if given the chance.

All that being said, I just wish that name calling and finger pointing would STOP so the association could move forward. Is anyone else willing to do the same? I have questions and don't purport to know it all by any means. This would and could be a great forum to ask questions and get answers or at least try to.

So, my first question is in regards to Tanya’s statement that HPP is not an HOA is just a road maintenance association. I’ve heard this before but when I read the By Laws it says

ARTICLE IV – OBJECTS AND PURPOSES

The objects and purposes of the Association are defined in the Charter and are as follows:
(a) To ascertain the needs and desires of lot owners of the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision and represent those needs and desires as appropriate.
b) To manage, protect, maintain, and improve the improved and unimproved real properties and other assets of the Association and to provide usual administrative and executive functions necessary to the operation and management of the Association.
© To maintain, manage, preserve, and protect the commonly owned roadway easements in Increments I and II, which shall be used in common with others for roadways and utility purposes.
(d) To serve as a representative of lot owners of Hawaiian Paradise Park to government agencies, officials, and community organizations on issues affecting or arising from Hawaiian Paradise Park.
(e) To foster an atmosphere of cooperation and harmony that encourages the participation of lot owners in the management and operation of the Association.
(f) To administer the financial affairs of the Association in a responsible manner.
(g) To promote social and recreational activities within the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision.
(h) To assist the Hawaii County Department of Civil Defense and other recognized relief organizations at the discretion of the board.
( HPPOA BYLAWS 7-22-2010 Page 5 of 31 )

Does this tell us this is a road maintenance association or an HPPOA for the good of all members? Can we start here?

I plead to all of you to stop the bickering and name calling and let’s come together for the good of all.
