I encourage you to identify yourself to our other members whenever possible. The nature of your questions do not seem to me to expose you to undesirable scrutiny.  Also, please provide enough detail to make your circumstance and questions clear.

Did you just recently have an organizational meeting to form a statutory road association?  Do you have written permission from each owner to receive email notices and materials? You will need that to use anything other than USPS at the owner's address of record at the Town Hall to notify your owners. What do your By-laws say with reference to the Statutes? You will need to provide the results of all votes to the owners.

The road association has been around for more than 11 years. The bylaws were registered at the rod in 2018 but they were ratified more than 11 yrs ago. I'm asking this question because I'm trying to understand if the bylaws are being followed. At the last meeting the president said the voting rules of 1 vote per membership were not being followed and and this was left out of the meeting notes. When we asked for updates to the notes we were ignored for 25 days leading us to email the entire group of owners. After that they made excuses and tried to reframe the discussion and we were told if we expect a reply we need to give them a deadline.  They leave alot of discussion out of the notes things that matter. And I suspect they are not following the notice rules either because all we get is an email saying meeting location, date time. Then we go to the meeting. Dues are set by motion and voted on and then money for maintenance is decided by motion. They amassed 17k in the account. There is no budget or vote notification and the most recent  meeting call was an email saying we are discussing quotes and next steps for road work that turned into a vote for a special assessment that was 1000% more than we normally pay and on top of what we already paid in the summer.  We have always paid and never asked questions we thought it was all good.  but this recent situation has us asking alot of questions about what is going on here. We asked them to open the books as per the bylaws give them 5 days and we were ignored. The bylaws need to be followed not just when it's convenient. They formalized this so they could enforce dues but it seems they prefer to to do what they want otherwise. Im trying to understand what the standard is and I don't have any resources other than this site.  Thanks

Thats really what i was thinking too. People didnt know this was going to happen. Also they demanded immediate payment. And there is nothing in the bylaws with a timeline but the statute says 90 deliquent. Most of the lots are shorefront so the value is high. So we don't top that 1%. however we never read the statute or paid much attention until this happened. We were handed the bylaws when we bought the place.  So now that this happened and we started digging we are seeing that they are just doing what they want but still want to maintain enforcement capabilities. There are other additional questions about fairness of of assessment specifically those similarly situated are similarly assessed and a few other things but that's really getting into the weeds it's a complicated story. Alot of things being done to obfuscate and protect. Bylaws have not been updated since they were enacted more than a decade ago. Officers either dont know the statute or the bylaws which seems odd or they know and ignore it. I don't understand how they think they can just get away with it.  Our goal is not to get out of our fair share but to let them know that we will not be steamrolled and just go along with whatever scheme they are concocting. It's really disappointing to have to deal with this. Its like a psychology experiment and you can observe just how people react when bullied and guilted and you are standing on your own. Thanks for all your suggestions.
