So far, the comments I have seen regarding this post, are the same comments I have seen before.
For some reason, some people seem to think everything is about mailboxes. Mailboxes were not mentioned in the post. And at this point I could care less about them. Build them, don't build them- whatever. They are going to become a problem and eventually cost everyone more money after a while- be realistic. They are tucked away, on unlighted roads (and yeah, I know they will have solar powered lighting). They will be an attractive nuisance and will definitely be anything but free. But have at it. Maybe the court (or Watumull's) won't want them all removed after the trial in January.
As for "boring." A lot of topics can be boring- especially if you have no interest in them. And while the HPPOA board may have voted to spend money on an archaeological survey- believe me, most are not interested in what it says or have even thought about it much. The cultural site(s) have never been of much interest to HPPOA. Because the sites just get in their way and are a headache for them.
Spending three owner/member meetings on "bylaw revisions" is worse than boring. Three meetings is a year's worth of Owner/member meetings. Meetings for which, Owners/members are supposed to be able to submit agenda items, chair, and conduct business they see relevant. Unfortunately, our current board president has decided otherwise, and has made it her "job" to run the show, pushing through, literally, her agenda which has filled Owner/member meeting time with hours of bylaw revisions that have been hurriedly rushed through and are presented not according to required format. Making them difficult for some Owners/members to actually understand or know what they are voting on. And the only reason any of this is happening is because the board president wanted to adopt a law which does not apply (421J) and now wants to try to make HPPOA "fit" that law by changing the bylaws. And all of this could be a huge waste of time and moot if HPPOA loses the lawsuit.
All of the above is why, if you go through the search function on this platform, you will see pages of HPPOA posts that are as old as Punaweb. All of the above is why there is fighting, misinformation, and down-right ugliness, regarding HPPOA, on other social media platforms.
HPP Owners/members pay mandatory road fee money which funds just about everything HPPOA does- even though mandatory road fee money is restricted. This mandatory road fee money adds up to more than $3.5 MILLION every year and does not even take into account the several hundred dollars HPPOA collects in "transfer fees" for EACH property that is sold or resold in HPP (think about that).
HPP Owners/members are supposed to have a say. Owners/members are supposed to be able to ask questions, discuss, get answers. And three times a year, is not a lot to ask in exchange for MILLIONS of dollars.
But as long as the apathy and "divide and ignore" attitude prevail. HPPOA is just going to run rogue, bulldoze over Owner/Members rights, force their governance and forced membership down owners throats, and use road fee money for whatever project they see fit. Still, I guess if the majority of HPP Owners/members don't care? Feel that's okay? Then they deserve what they get. But others like myself? We are pissed about it.
Sitting down, being quiet, and ignoring what is going on is apathetic sabotage. And by the time some of the majority feel it IS time to "argue" it will be too late.
