Hawaiian Shores -- Survey Says....

Aloha Watchdog Readers,

Some results are in from the Member Survey sent out in the 'mid year' packet last month. If you haven't  received a copy of the results you should contact the office as they are not posted on the official website as of 1047 on Monday, October 10, 2011. However, the Watchdog has compiled a quick reference to some of the data here. The data reflected in the graphic is simply the highest vote for a category. If a 'no' vote was the highest that is reflected. If a 'yes' vote, that was reflected. This is not a complete compilation of all data. When you receive your copy of the first 100 responses you may have questions about the data. 

A deadline of November 11, 2011 was set for final receipt of Member Surveys. If you cannot locate your copy of the Member Survey please contact the business office via phone or email.

Please do pick up your copy of the Member Survey, fill it out and drop it back at the Business office or the drop box before 11/11/11 so your input will count! The Board has already referred two items, the public use of the Swimming Pool and the Cell Tower to the By Laws/Policy and Infrastructure committees respectively for discussion and recommendations. The Watchdog will notice you all here when those two committees meet again so you can schedule time to attend the committee meetings and share your thoughts, one way or the other.

And now, some of the raw data:

As you see, while the respondents prefer to not be any more involved -- to the tune of 79% of the 87 who answered that survey question -- they surely have strong opinions. Their opinions are being self limited however to filling out a survey and apparently not being involved in the decision process of their Association. There appears to be a full disconnect for some between the nebulous entity of HSCA and their understanding of just how HSCA's Board of Directors affect their property values. Making your annual assessment payment is only a partial investment in the stability of property values for a Homeowner's Association. The rules and policies that are implemented and the impact on the individual home/lot owner is another substantial area which should concern all Members. 

Do your part in protecting your investment by getting the Member Survey filled out and submitted. The future of your property values will depend on the actions taken by those who do fill out and submit. If it doesn't include you NO GRUMBLE!
