Special Master recommends Orchidland receivership

Everybody should be paying their fees, regardless if they pay the poll tax or they get sent to collections. That's why I don't understand why the "pre-payers" get to vote and the ones who will be paying interest plus back payments don't.

My understanding is that the only recourse for the association is to take the owner to small claims court and, if a judge allows, then put a lien against the property for the unpaid road fees. As such, if you never sell your lot, you would never have to pay any backed road fees, interest, processing fees, etc... (although there is some credit issues to having liens against you of course). As this process costs money, that is even more money paid for by others in the meantime that is not going to the roads beyond just the unpaid fees.

I agreed that most of the recent boards have been highly dysfunctional and violated the bylaws to push their agenda. Hopefully in the future, more members (20 needed it seems) can band together and force such boards out (once proxy voting is properly banned as stated in Robert's Rules) instead of just withholding their payments as a form of protest. IMHO YMMV etc
