Board wants to put a Assenmentt on HOA for Drains

HOA wants to raise our dues for Drains that are going to be put in our Community by the county. That should not have anything to do with our association Dues ?
It would be a Special Assenment that would be the Tax office?

Why would we want our dues to go up and county put this special assenment on us to?

We need a audit because we have had 2-Different Exec Directors and they cause all kind of problems and now we have our 3rd director and VP and new board members.

The homeowners in Lakewood Shores POA wnat to turn this over to a Company. We have a SnackBar and the kitchen is a mess no one checks Expiration dates on food.

And we never get to set in on new members coming on board. I donot think they have a quorum the VP just says this is how it is! The people on the board are some
of the old ones that have been on the board and the front office person got fired and she came back in the office and club house and trashed all the computers and
tore up files. The maintenance man was her husband and he took tools and alot of other things.

I ask the Vice P why he did not call the police and he said I cannot prove it was her. They never took keys from either person????

Keith,

Is your development still under control of the developer/builder or do the owners run the HOA?

In looking at your Association web site I get the opinion that the developer is still in charge (or has veto authority), so I want to confirm, However, since it appears the development has been around since the 60s, It's also likely that the owners control.

If your Association is still under developer control, it's likely your assessments will increase. This is because most developers artificially keep assessments low to entice buyers. Once they leave, and members have control, they discover that there isn't enough money to do what is required. Not to mention possible pet projects that are done as well.

Regarding drainage - it appears from the Association history that the issue has been experienced since the 70s. If it's still not fixed, it certainly needs addressed and maintained. It's possible that the County is installing the drains but it would be the responsibility of the Association to maintain it. Something to check out. If this is the case, I can see the need for an increase in assessments, as the reserve funds would need to be increased to properly pay for future maintenance.

You may want to attend board meetings (or at least review minutes of board meetings) to better understand why things are happening.
There may be reasons things are the way they are other than who is serving on the board.

If there hasn't been a quorum allowing for a vote, then those serving remain in office until the next election or if they resign.
Similar to members not wanting to be involved, board members who serve for years get burned out and don't do as well as they might have when they were first elected. Everybody is human and it happens.
