Our road association, in its infinite wisdom, includes one owner per household on the Board of Directors, for a total of 13. It’s absurd. People argued that they want to have control over all decisions.
OK, fine, whatever.
BUT then the three officers decided on their own to sign a railroad crossing agreement with the state without asking the BOD. Basically, the agreement allows the state to come in and make any improvements to the crossing and then charge US what it costs!! We have no rights and all the responsibility.
I had specifically emailed the treasurer that we needed to have a discussion about this. She and the others totally blew me off. DH and I wrote an angry letter stating that we did not approve, and if we are ever approached by the state to cover costs, we will refuse to contribute. Ugh. I will never be part of an HOA, condo association, or road association again. It has been a very unpleasant experience for years.
