Ironic situation

What part of the agenda did this homeowner ask the question? If it was during resident forum, I don't think you can dictate to the members what they can or can't ask about. If it's under new business, the board isn't obligated to discuss the issue- usually, the make sone initial comments and then decide if additional research is necessary and then the subject is discussed further at the next meeting.

Otherwise, it may have been more appropriate to say the case has been adjudicated and leave it at that. Then again, anyone could have checked the court records and learned of the lawsuit, so what did you want them to say? This sounds like you're more upset at them bashing you in front of everyone.

Now, I recall you said you've sued this board 4 tines for various failures to comply with the documents, so why do you think they're not going yo hold a grudge? Ray Charles could see they're going to try and make you the scapegoat for everything going on in your community.

Now, what's your question? If you want to vent, that's fine, but if you're asking what to do next, the best you can do is to take control of the narrative. What did you do after the board raked you over the coals - sit there and fume, walk out in a huff, get into a shouting match with the president? Get up and tell your side or try to ? Look embarrassed - what?

At this point, you may need to send a short note to everyone saying there are two sides to the story, but the board hasn't told you mine. Here's a summary and if you want more information, here's the case number and you can look it up in the court records and then decide for yourself.

You can also sue them again and possibly win, but thjs will only make them angrier, and the people who are too lazy to try and get the other side, or love a good mudslinging contest will take sides (or pull up a chair with popcorn) and this will begin affecting your ability to enjoy your home, if it hasn't already.

I think someone else asked in another conversation- what's your end game? I'm not saying you're wrong, but now that you know where this board stands, you may need to consider other tactics. If you want them gone, that will be up yo the home or at least a majority, so your energy may be better talking to some of them,, tell your story and then see if you can all start a movement to vote them out . Or move

Do you agree that this could have lawfully been discussed during the open forum segment of the annual meeting of owners? See https://www.davis-stirling.com/HOME/H/HOA-Board-Meeting-Open-Forum

Good job in small claims court. Though never forget that the likelihood of retaliation for such actions is high. "Being right" is often not sufficient to shut down the egos of those who are in the wrong. Hell hath no wrath like a board scorned?

You forget this was a Member meeting and not a board meeting. Civil Code §4930 specifically states what a "board" can do. The "board" has no authority at a member meeting.

The agenda title is "notice of open annual meeting". Nowhere does it refer to a member meeting which demonstrates they don't understand the difference.

ElleN, would you please move into my neighborhood?

Thank you, again, ElleN.
