The perception that homeowners are not speaking up may be false. Homeowners have already spoken.
• We do not want our boards empowered to dictate.
• We do not want them empowered to take our homes without our direct involvement and ever placing one foot into a court of law.
• We do not want them making decisions for us, if an up or down vote is appropriate.
• We want their power limited.
• We do not want them empowered to make financial decisions without our direct concent.
• We do not want them acting outside the law or the Constitution of the United States Of America.
We don't give a darn what they enure their prerogatives to be under the so-called governing documents. Whenever they do things which would not be unilaterally accomplished outside the common interest development, they should assume it is not to be done inside the common interest development.
All spending records should be reproduced for each quarter and presented to all owners for their inspection.
What we need are directors who are held accountable for their actions. If that makes the job of dirctor too unattractive, so be it. Only those who can operate with a sense of fairness and levity need serve.
Good laws, if laws are needed, should be the order of the day. Laws which give the individual owner more power to disuade the directors whenever they make questionable recommendations or decisions.
As it now stands directors make decisions, not recommendations, and if you don't like it, they say "tough cookies", "the CC&R's give me the right."
Well, I say CC&R's were never written with the intention of creating dictatorships. So, a word to the wise be sufficient. We owners are watching very carefully the actions of our legislators.
Don't be lulled into a sense of false security, or a sense that your actions will go unnoticed by the owners living in CID's.
We owners want our homes and common areas properly and well maintained, and are willing to pay the tab. We do need CC&R's creating a board of misdirectors. What we need are a board of directors who play by the rules and are fair.

Did you know that 5 of the 7 Associations and "Mutuals" (also associations) in opposition to SB 137 are managed by Professional Community Managment?
They prepared the letter for the president's signature; one president admitted he did not read it before signing and signed because the previous president signed it last year.
And all of the "Mutuals" have stringent financial restrictions on prospective buyers which minimize any chance of members defaulting.
