for an Association member to participate in any meeting, s/he must be in "good standing" ... Three years of such non-payment and the Association can place a lien on the property.
It only takes a little organization to ensure that a handful of members remain in "good standing" while the vast majority de-fund the Association -- and even with lawsuits, the whole thing should be resolved within three years.
Unfortunately I keep coming back to this: if the largest/fastest-growing subdivision in Puna can't get it right, it's foolish to expect better from County, State, or another Association.
