Another bast from the past. January, 2008.
Q. "Does anyone know if the court approved mandatory membership dues? If not, then HPPOA can't force residents to pay."
A. Membership dues (mandatory or elective) in HPPOA is different from Road Maintenance Assessments. Membership is automatic unless you decline membership...* This does not remove your legal obligation and requirement to pay road maintenance assessments."
The above statement is true and correct. However, I have removed the following which appears after "unless you elect to decline your membership" *"and give up your right to participate in or vote on matters of the association." I have removed this part of the statement, because this is what Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) wanted/wants HPP Owners to believe.
HPP Owners must be allowed to vote that is the condition under which HPPOA is allowed, as per the court, to force the collection of Road Maintenance Fees. Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) has tried to get around that condition for decades by forcing Owners to join their club, or lose their voting rights- they even illegally changed their bylaws in 2010 to state this.
Don't want to be a member? Relinquish or decline. I am not a member, and according to the board president, my family and I are on the "non-members list." However, I am STILL allowed to vote and participate in matters of the Association which have to do with the allocation and administration of Road Maintenance Fees- that is my right and HPPOA'S legal obligation and requirement.
