This is only a hunch, but my suspicion is that the lawyer representing the association in the pending lawsuit has told the board that the monies being spent on the lawsuit are confidential and not being reported as legal expenses/liabilities. If this is true, then it is also likely that anyone 'in the know' has been made aware of their personal liability for breaking this confidentiality. Nice setup if you're an hourly attorney.
This would explain the lack of transparency, shortcomings in road maintenance, and the odd footnote from the auditors about only being able to validate what has been shared. I can't recall if the footnote was from this, or last year's financials.
For those of you that haven't been to a board meeting, and it has been over a year now for me, there is no quick fix for this. There are a lot of passionate people involved, the board and many committee members, but they show an incredible amount of contempt for each other. My observations led me to believe that this is the rule and not the exception. Some of them are regular posters on this forum. It's an environment that would drive most reasonable people away.
I'm just going to keep on filling the potholes and mowing my street myself, but I will gladly relinquish the work if things change.
