Attention all owners in HPP.
Your new Board has met in covert meetings twice in the last 6 days, once on Tuesday, 8/20, in the library, and then on Sunday, 8/24, in the office. No public notification, so that interested owners could attend, and they again didn’t invite all the Directors. This is not only against the Bylaws, it is against the law for nonprofit organizations. Where is the transparency that they promised? They are conducting Association business that must be handled with the owners notified and present.
Where are all the watchdogs that promised you that they would look out for illegal actions like this? Bill Newman stood up at the July Board meeting and stated, “This Board’s feet will be held to the fire”. Has anyone heard from him since then? Where are those who consistently criticized previous Boards: Sandra, Leilani, Frank, Mayelin, Skip, Ken? Oh that’s right, Mayelin and Ken were at Sunday’s meeting, so they must approve of these actions.
When Leilani was running for the State House opening, her website said that she is a watchdog for HPP. Where has Leilani been? Has anyone noticed that, over the last 2 years, she would stand up at every meeting and speak against the Board or GM? And, during the last 2 meetings, she didn’t speak to this Board, even though she is aware of what is going on.
How about Rosanne MacLean’s post on the HPP web site that has now been removed? She stated that, according to the Bylaws, owners are only “permitted” to speak at the Membership meetings and not at Board meetings, which is not correct. The Bylaws do not make a provision for owner input at Board meetings – but they do not forbid it. Her statement can be taken as a threat that, if you don’t walk in lock step with the Board, they will cut out one of the only chances for an owner to talk to the Board as a whole.
Let’s not forget the lawsuit against the Association and certain Directors from the terminated employees. There will be an update at the Special Membership meeting on September 7th regarding this litigation. Ask the Board if they have contacted the insurance underwriter. Ask them if they have even read the commercial liability policy and if they know what is required of the Association when they are in receipt of a legal complaint for litigation.
I urge all concerned owners to attend the September 7th Special Membership meeting, which was called by concerned members, at 6 pm at the Hui, to voice your opinions on what the Board have done to this Association in such a short time.
They can’t shut you up at this meeting - it is your turn to speak, not theirs.
