Exactly on the head of the nail kalakoa. HPP is a multi million dollar business so rules should be followed...there's a lot at risk. We have over 8,800 property owners.
The bylaws AND our policies aren't hard to follow. The bylaws are straightforward and IF followed, protects the Association from liability and promotes good will within the community. Should be simple. Obviously not as evidenced by 3 lawsuits = lots of twisting of the bylaws and reckless decisions. Where things go awry from my observations is when a majority board minimizes and makes a mockery of the bylaws to suit personal agendas of power, seek monetary gain (i.e. paving work - HPP has a lot of future paving, IT work etc)
HPP majority boards have forgotten that they work FOR the membership...not take the Association back into the dark ages with non transparency and rule with an authoritarian hand. A former president said publicly on multiple occasions, "What the membership wants doesn't matter, the board can do whatever it wants". Another director physically threatened members at meetings. That doesn't align with our bylaws.... and promotes exactly the opposite of....
Article V Objects and Purposes (a) To ascertain the needs and desires of lot owners of the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision and represent those needs and desires as appropriate.
(e) To foster an atmosphere of cooperation and harmony that encourages the participation of lot owners in the management and operation of the Association.
Legal counsels have said that the Acts of the Membership must be followed. When a majority of members vote at a membership meeting for something, the board MUST ACT UPON IT. The board has NO options not to unless there's absolutely no funding, or if there's a legal issue. i.e. The membership voted unanimously for a forensic analysis in Oct 2017, and TWO majority boards vehemently resisted and were insubordinate to the Acts of the Membership. To be perfectly honest, I heard all their reasons not to, and NONE of it holds water.
