Metro District Covenant Enforcement and Responsibilities to Homeowners

I reside within a Metro District that currently provides:

  • Operation and maintenance of parks and open space
  • Median landscaping and trail maintenance
  • Entry monuments
  • Trash service
  • Architectural Review
  • Covenant enforcement

The last item, covenant enforcement, is sadly ignored by the District Board. This covenant has the typical restrictions you would find in HOA covenants. However, the covenants also include an Article specific to Mandatory Social Membership in a Country Club within the community. The Club is a separate entity from the District although it is part of the District's covenants. The District Board always states they have no jurisdiction over the Club whenever a homeowner requests assistance from the District regarding the Club, especially concerning resident social member dues increases. Instead, the District would rather devote their time and energy address their other services in lieu of addressing homeowner concerns or frustrations with the Club. They also do a poor job in enforcing the restrictions defined in the covenants and publicly micro-manage/criticize their service providers in lieu of executive sessions.

My primary question is will this Metro District Task Force be addressing the covenants that typically are owned by an HOA as well as the typical quasi-government functions?

If so, shouldn't the District be required to actively support homeowners concerns/desires regarding the Club, especially with regard to currently unfair mandatory social membership practices in the Club?

Lastly, shouldn't the District be active in amending the covenants based upon homeowner requests so that the mandatory social membership "Article" is better balanced not only solely in favor of the Club but also be more beneficial to the homeowners/resident/members of the District?
