$30,000 to $38,000 for the clearing and other work per acre

Mailboxes take up an entire acre? (Pahoa Post Office sits on an 0.25-acre lot...)

[Seeb]

I thought the postmaster said all the box's had to go in one place

Seeb, maybe so, I'm just relaying what I was told was discussed by the BOD at Wed. meeting. We can wait for the BOD minutes to be posted, it is always possible that it would have accurate information.

The idea is to put mail boxes on each of the main roads. The post office has 4000 boxes for us. We put them in.

[flyingsurfer]

The lots to be used are one acre. I don't think we can split them. Maybe that's why.

[kalakoa]

Not making the connection: mailboxes don't require a full acre, why clear the full acre?

[flyingsurfer]

who said the full acre would be cleared?

Mermaid: a simple call or stopping at the office you would have found the she resigned from the HR committee. The board gave the GM the go ahead to hire and fire. Just as the former GM Scott had.
The bylaws state that to resolve the complaint it goes to arbitration.
The complainants wanted to go before the board to come to an agreement. Which is contrary to the bylaws.

[caveat emptor]

flyingsurfer, what complaint are you talking about? What's the complaint about? I take it, that it has to do with the firing of the last/new office lady Mermaid referenced.
You state that, "The complainants wanted to go before the board to come to an agreement. Which is contrary to the bylaws." The people who have a complaint (again, what is it about and who is involved) should try to resolve it before the board before arbitration. First, it sounds like a possible employee issue and if so, that should be resolved before the BOD. And, I mean the full BOD. The bylaws do not dis-allow that action by the employees, therefore, it is allowed.
Article XV in the bylaws concerning arbitration is to be used as a last resort if a mutually agreeable resolution can not be found by the BOD and the employee/employees. Also, notice that in that bylaw, it states in part, "...the PARTIES shall pursue dispute resolution by arbitration...". That means that both the parties involved have to pursue arbitration unlike what is happening with the current arbitration effort by certain members of the association. In any event, the BOD HAS to pursue arbitration AND front the costs. Which they did not. They ignored the members because of arrogance and ignorance.
