"....a total of $303,522 was spent on "Professional Services and Legal Fees" in 2024 and in 2023 a total of $264,578, for a combined total of $568,100."
Professional services have to do with the bond that was supposed to have paid in the paving of ALL the HPP roads, but did not. HPPOA is still paying that off.
And legal services, as you can see, are not broken down. So, exactly what those fees in legal services really are (attorney opinions for 421J? attorney opininions regarding bylaw changes? attorney opinions regarding current bylaw interpretation? etc.) is difficult to say. Not all of those legal fees (if that is what you are suggesting) are being spent on lawsuit costs. The board has insurance for lawsuits.
