Dispute

 

 

In a condo community of 174 homes built in 1980-1981 our documents state; reserve funds must be kept

 

 

adequate, reserve money can only be derived from regular dues, & special assessments can only be

 

 

charged for unanticipated expenses (not reserve items). The board tells us that this dollar amount of our

 

 

dues goes to contributions and the rest for regular expenses. We paid our dues but the board does not

 

 

make the contributions. This has been going on since 2003 that I know of. There has been 2 times when

 

 

contributions were made but they don't show up on the financials anywhere. Does this constitute

 

 

breaking the contract?

Dispute

 

 

Vista is a subdivision comprised of 4,304 lots. Most of these lots are unimproved. We have approximately

 

 

900 homes at this time. Our amenities are a 18 hole golf course, swimming pool and park area.

 

 

Trying to make this short, we had a real estate company together with their investors come in and

 

 

purchase approximately 450 unimproved properties in 2006. At our annual election in 2007 they were

 

 

able to elect four of their people to the Board of Directors. Most of the absentee voters don't even send in

 

 

their ballots so they have enough votes to control the board. The four members they installed all worked

 

 

for the same real estate company and were business partners. One of the members was the father-in-law

 

 

of a member from the same group. Basically they controlled the Board and spend our money without

 

 

regard for our financial future. For the time they were on the board we were unable to make them

 

 

produce financial records. We know they were told by the auditor at the fiscal year end of 2008 they

 

 

could not continue spending money like they were or we would be broke.

 

 

The election committee that was supposed to conduct the election was dismissed and they appointed

 

 

someone else to conduct the election process. . . . . At this time we have had six resignations. Only

 

 

one member of the Board is an elected member. Is this even a legal board? The appointed members

 

 

are appointing members. . . . I could write a 10 page letter on everything these investors and realtors have

 

 

done to our community.
