Committee Reports:


Policies & Procedures -
Chair Daley reported contracting with the TGM, Nancy Cabral of Dan-Lum Rentals and Management on a 90 day basis and on the search for a General Manager. The Policies & Procedures committee meet every Thursday at 9:00 a.m., in the library.

Budget & Finance - Chair Graber reported we have received clean audits from our CPA. Our tax returns were filed on time. We are in line with our previous year's budget. Copies of financial reports are available in the office. Director Lundquist is pursuing past due accounts, and we are considering foreclosure on some properties.

Legal & Government - Chair Moe is also on a committee about the noise nuisance probem.

The committee is looking into financing for road paving, and Councilman Safarik was introduced, who will be submitting a Resolution to the County Council asking that HPP be designated as an "Im-provement District," in order to get alternate funding. He spoke about Puna, and using public funds that will be paid back by the community over the years.

Councilman Safarik also spoke about rezoning three of HPP's 20 acre parcels to Mixed Use/Commercial and rezoning of the agriculture lots to rural, which will legitimize persons living on their property. The next step on the noise problem would be to identify who is for or against it, then meet with the County to try and resolve the problem.

Road Advisory - Chair Lundquist explained that the committee is looking to find a way to pave all the roads. Next month Beach Road from Kaloli to Paradise, and 28th Street from Shower to Paradise Drive will be paved. If we get a loan, we plan to pave the fire roads first, 28th, 21st, 16th, 8th and Beach. Then finish the main roads, then the roads that cost the most to be maintained. A suggestion was made from the membership that after the priority roads are paved, if there is not enough funding to pave all the roads, to select roads by lottery.

Paving the roads won't raise road maintenance fees. No decision has been made about putting in 4-way stop signs.
The TGM noted chip seal (as done in HOVE) was not recommended for HPP by contractors due to rain, terrain and traffic.

Activity Center - Chair Tinker reported the swap meets are doing poorly due to the many Farmers Markets in the Puna area. The plumbing in the Activity Centerhas been repaired.

Unfinished Business:


Status of Lawsuits -
Civil Case 65-95 is finished. In Lerro vs. Paradise Hui Hanalike, Mr. Lerro passed away, and unless a member of his family makes an appeal, that lawsuit will be dismissed on July 3, 2002.


New Business:


Budget -
The budget was in the newsletter. Audit and annual audit were listed twice in error.

Zoning - At the February General Meeting a motion was made that the Board write a letter to the County in support of George Curlee's variance for the repair shop at 19th and Paradise The letter was written. He was granted a variance for five years.

Malamalama School - Walter Bell reported the school has leased the property at 26th and Makuu from HPP since 1980. The lease calls for two half scholarships to students selected by the HPP Board, and provides a voting seat on their Board, there were no volunteers at this time to service on their board.

Member Input:
Kathy Houtin asked if the parcel at Kololi & 14th is being rezoned to commercial, Councilman Safarik advised no zoning changes will be made by the County without public input.

A member asked why we don't give the roads to the County. Councilman Safarik advised that a consensus is needed of what all the people want and that the county is not in a position to take on all the present roads in private subdivisions.

William Babchuk put a waterline across a street, and paid $500, with the understanding it would be returned, and asked for it back. The TGM explained those funds are used for legal purposes, she will check the files to see what wording was stated about a refund.

Ruth Mizuba asked that the Board consider developing a park on some of the Association land, with volunteers.

Anyone who wants to be on the waterline on Paradise Drive, must get their line in prior to that area of the road being repaved.

Juliet Mondal spoke on the rooster farms noise problem and read a prepared statement. She would like Conditions, Covenants & Restrictions enacted against rooster farming in HPP.

Mary Hyslip also spoke on the noise pollution of roosters. She was previously informed that the HPP attorney would look into the matter. Director Moe advised our attorney's legal opinion is that because we are designated agricultural or rural we cannot legally stop the farms. Walter recommended petitions, and attending en mass, to the County Council meetings, who will then try to work with the neighbors to find a common ground.

Election Results: District 5, Wayne Graber was elected. District 7, candidates Gerald Silva was elected. District 8, John Verich was elected.


Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
