2018 HPP District Elections

[My 2 cents]

support HB2570, mainly because it offer an array of options

County decides and enforces with court order. Where's the "option"?

Exactly. I think I hijacked this thread. Sorry 'bout that, but thank you anyway.

I think I hijacked this thread.

They're all the same thread: failed governance at the subdivision, County, and State levels.

In theory, HOAs had a "blank slate" opportunity to demonstrate that they could do a better job than the failed County policies that created these "private agricultural" subdivisions.

It appears my lots are in district 5. I thought I remembered being in #2 previously?? Did the zones get rearranged or just my brain?

Aloha Oink...someone told me the districts were tweaked a bit, most likely when the bylaws were last worked on in 2009 ish. Just wanted to make sure I gave correct information.

The deadline was today and all the districts who have elections this year, have candidates for the upcoming election. It was a good turnout considering the major issues we have w/the current board reps. Two candidates are reruns of this current board but there are opponents who'll be running against them.

More to come later...

2018 HPP District Elections

The Nominating Committee announced the qualified candidates for the District Elections at the 21 Mar 2018 board meeting:

District 2: Mary Couch and Ruth Mizuba (serving currently as Dist 2 rep 3 yr term)

District 3: Unopposed Kathleen Shaw

District 4: Tanya Seaver and Malia Ahuna-Alofaituli

District 5: Unopposed Mayelin Stillwell

District 6: Thomas Fuchtman and William Shattuck

All 8 had completed their forms so the Nominating Committee could qualify them through the preliminary screening. Next step is to verify the information on the candidate submission form that they own a lot in that district and are current with their road fees which is the office staff's job, for member privacy purposes.

One District 6 candidate was disqualified. The candidate didn't complete their form by the drop dead date and time. Vital information was missing; no physical address, no TMK # and no contact phone number. The Nominating Committee doesn't give preferential treatment. Reason 2 was that the candidate has an existing conflict of interest:

Article V Bylaws Definitions Sec 14 Conflict of interest. "A conflict of interest exists when any director, officer, member of a committee or employee of HPPOA has a direct or indirect financial interest in any matter involving the Association. An indirect financial interest shall include financial benefit to a relative of any director, officer, committee member or employee when so determined by a majority vote of the board or by policy established under Article VIII Sec 11."

The board said they make the final decision on who are qualified candidates. That this candidate has NO conflict of interest. (His spouse is employed by HPP) The board decision is clearly not based on the best interests of the Association as is evident at how it's now negatively affecting the district elections.

The bylaws give the task to the Nominating Committee to find "qualified" candidates, because it's a conflict of interest for the board to be involved. The board is supposed to AVOID MEDDLING period, during the memberships' elections and they are now treading in muddy waters. Two current board reps were on the board during the 2016's fraudulent district election.

The Nominating Committee, a membership committee, meaning they are given scope and authority as delegated by the membership AND the bylaws, are doing their job to ensure on their end that a CLEAN election occurs for the membership's district elections. That is their job. Please support them to ensure that happens.

The GM overstepped his boundaries as an employee during the NC's report. "This will not stand!!!", "This ain't going to happen!!!" when he and the board discovered who was disqualified from the elections. When reminded TWICE he was an employee, not a board member, and shouldn't be meddling in membership business, he yelled back at the member.

The board pres in a fit of anger, searched and specifically grabbed 2 candidates submission forms (for Dist 3 and Dist 5) off the table, and threatened to disqualify them because it was missing lot # and block #, which his spouse, an office employee, told the Nominating chair wasn't necessary. TMK # was important, as she had called a candidate on the phone on the deadline date to get their TMK # and was added before the drop dead time. The disqualified candidate had no phone number, no TMK # and no physical address.

Watch the elections very closely...

***************

I'm making this suggestion because it has happened at least once in the past that I became aware of, after the person was gone.....

Please have the office double check to be sure the CANDIDATE is listed on the deed as an owner. Just because the spouse is listed as the owner on the tax website, it doesn't mean that the person running for the Board is.....and that is a requirement. Check with the Bureau of Conveyances website or ask the candidate to see a copy of their deed.

I am new to HPP and attended my first board meeting last night. I was quite concerned with how the President conducted himself during the nomination committee report out. Is it true his wife works as an employee in the HPP office. It seems like this would be a conflict since the board has final authority on employees.
I was also concerned that the General Manager was allowed to speak out about the nominations. Is the General Manager always allowed to speak out in that manner at board meetings? It felt like the board members had no respect for the nominating committee.
I hope that this is not the norm for how meetings are run. I am in district 2 does anyone know anything about Tonya Seaver or Ruth Mizuba, they are the 2 running in my district.

[Old Croc]

"I am new to HPP."
Yes, it has been the norm for several years. To read about Mizuba, search "Mizuba." It will take you a long time to read all of this material.

Aloha N2HPP. Welcome!
We too are quite concerned. Yes, yes, yes to your questions and conclusions.
You got it all right at first glance. It’s great that you attended a meeting so you’ve seen firsthand how out of control things have gotten here. Keep involved as much as you can. So many owners are working full time, elderly, disabled, or just don’t live here and can’t really find out what’s going on or do anything about it. The Website is useless. Everything’s Rosie in HPP. Not.
Have a Care when voting. Scary possibilities.
There’s lots of info in HPP threads,ad nauseum.

[caveat emptor]

Dear New to HPP,
I'm sorry your first "time" had to be so shabby and embarrassing, that is truly sad. Worst than the back seat I bet. But take cheer, you may have a much better experience starting in July when the board may improve... that is if a new board is elected and the current vermin are evicted from the board and office. If you are in district 2 then your candidates are Mary Couch and Ruth Mizuba, not Tanya. She is a candidate in district 4 I believe.

From all accounts, Mary is a good choice as a director even if she were running unopposed, but let's face facts, Mizuba is not an option. Her record speaks for itself and unlike her, the record doesn't lie.

Who's counting the votes?
