HPP Board 2014

[reni]

"Note that the definition of the quorum does not state “a majority of the currently filled Director positions”. It says “of the Board”. A quorum of the Board is five Directors. Without five Directors present at a meeting, no action taken is considered an act of the Board. "
--------------------------------------------------------
It does not specify "currently filled" or a quorum of 5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Anyone taking action on any other basis is breaking Hawaii Revised Statute 414D (i.e. a law, not just the Bylaws)."
--------------------------------
p. 10 of our bylaws Section 6 .....Vacancies in the Board......shall be filled by vote of the majority of the remaining Directors even though they may constitute less than a quorum.

(Here it is clearly defined for us and I doubt that it is breaking State law)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p.33 of our bylaws states that Officer vacancies shall be filled within 60 days .
(It is not known to me if there are any members that have submitted an application to fill the vacancies on our Board but do agree on the priority of this issue)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F. Gannon was again absent from the Board meeting . We were informed that he has not given the Board his resignation....so 5 members. The way the Board interpreted our bylaws is that a quorum was present. This will not be clarified by Punatalk posters (myself included) Our Assoc. attorney can clarify.
More precise wording on these sections is something our bylaws committee should consider as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the website still reads only 3 vacancies, I concur that it should have been changed to 4 within 2 days of the additional vacancy.

It's the weekend.....we'll find out next week.

Reni -

“p.33 of our bylaws states that Officer vacancies shall be filled within 60 days .”

Page 33 of the current Bylaws is “APPENDIX F – Schedule of Notices to Members”. It doesn’t mention filling of vacancies.

Also, “officers” of the Association are currently the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer (Article IX, Section 1), not Directors. I cannot find any reference to a time limit for the filling of Director positions.

Can you please clarify your reference, so I may further research it?

FYI interested land owners, the BOD has "decommissioned" the Road Traffic Safety Committee as of "immediately".
Let's hope we don't have any lava related road issues in the coming weeks/months because nobody will be monitoring it but the BOD, and we've seen how efficiently they work for us....
And, no, I wasn't on the committee, but I do appreciate those who did the hard and thankless work of monitoring, reporting and following up on our road conditions.
I don't volunteer to work with/for questionable organizations, and apparently others don't either or we'd have some volunteers for the Board positions. Instead, people are resigning all over the place. Small wonder...

I am simply capable of reading and understanding English.

Please see "As Needed" at the bottom of page 33

Aloha Kenney...the BOD has "decommissioned" the Road Traffic Safety Committee as of "immediately".

source of info would be terrific. mahalo

[Kenney]

I'm not comfortable naming source.
I'd send you the document if I knew how. My computer skills are basic at best.
I hope somebody on the "decommissioned" committee will post it.
It should be pretty easy to verify by calling HPPOA.

[Frank]

mahalo Kenney...maybe a timely posting of this news on the new hppoa web page will be forth coming...

[Kenney]

Timely posting? You are a kind person Frank.
I keep hoping for the best too..

They still haven't updated the Director vacancies from 3 to 4 and the bylaws say it must be posted within 2 days, what's up with that?

[janet]

Page 32 of the current Bylaws: APPENDIX E - HPPOA Business/Fiscal Schedule, at the bottom of the page states (in part):

As Needed Officer vacancies shall be filled within 60 days

I’m sorry to have to repeat: “officers” of the Association are currently the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer (Article IX, Section 1). This “As Needed” does not refer to non-officer Director positions. I still cannot find any reference to a time limit for the filling of Director positions in the current Bylaws.
