I think the point of some of the long winded poster's, speaking of myself, was to give explanation to why and how the Conduct Policy has worked for members and that it's inaccurate to say it only serves the board.
Expressing disgust on this thread about unethical and arrogant board members isn't going to solve anything. I don't think the board reads this thread very often and when they do they probably aren't affected anymore. I think the main culprits are beyond that as evident in their actions.
I think one way to get this board to take notice that members expect them to follow their oaths and respect our bylaws is to speak during owner input at board meetings and general meetings, in a civil manner, or risk not being heard. Be specific, ask pointed questions and WAIT for an answer. Be persistent and do it again next month, and the month after. We do have 4 new board members who may actually hear you.
The watch dogs were organized and on top of the problematic issues going on during the last board's tenure, and was effective in bringing hidden things to the surface for other members to see. This put a cease to some of the non transparency issues going on but be prepared to possibly be a target if you're on any committee or are asking to have your potholes fixed.
Some directors hope that you'll eventually go away, but don't! This board should be answering our questions at the time they're asked instead of a month later unless research is required to give an accurate answer. They are in those seats to work for us. And write letters to your district rep, or another rep if you're unhappy with the one you have. I believe Janice, Francis, Moani, Randi and Craig will listen.
A reminder that there is a bylaw committee at work. They are well aware of the issues going on and understand the frustration when bylaws are broken with no consequences. It's a long process but they are hard at work to tweak areas that haven't been working for the membership.
