Association monthly assessments

I have lived in my Association in Jefferson County for 12 years. Our Declaration and By Laws state we are to have a yearly homeowners meeting in June every year as our year is June to June,

Our Management company and board started having monthly board meeting again in June of 2023. This is due to the previous Manager being fired, which we were not aware of. The new Manager is great. I attended that Zoom meeting and asked when we were going to have our yearly homeowners meeting and was told by the Management rep she didn't know. I spoke up and reminded them of what our documents stated for mandatory yearly homeowners meeting and she responded she would be working on it.

Last night we finally had our Zoom yearly homeowners meeting and, of course we didn't have quorum so some items had to be tabled. Out of 196 homeowners only 19 attended.

One item that became a hot topic was the fact that our fees are going up horrendously high. This is somewhat understandable as our fees have not increased in the past 3 years.

The clincher is since we didn't have the required meeting in June, homeowners are required to pay the increased amount in arrears going back to June when the meeting was to take place. This created quite an uproar as no reasonable explanation was given UNTIL a board member finally spoke up and stated that the manager, who was fired, DIDN'T DO HIS JOB !!! I brought up so since he didn't do his job, the homeowners are being penalized and of course they said that wasn't the case.

With the previous Manager 2 things were consistent: he didn't answer emails and didn't return phone calls. It was 5 years of hell. Of course during this time period of him not doing his job the Management Company took out their monthly fee.

I am more than frustrated with my Association and Management Company.
