Above: Intermittently, for a time, boards informed owners of association finances
Newsletter 2008 excerpt is an example of earlier board willingness to communicate with owners.
The boards of 2019-2021 prefer not to do so.

Water Main Finale
The water mains were completed, and the one length that needed to be "sanitized" passed the city inspectors.
Isn't it wonderful when the residents pay for all of this infrastructure while the city of Wheaton collects the taxes and fees for permits? You betcha! Here's a trick question. Do you think the city requires its water or maintenance department to take out a permit and pay a fee each and every time a fire hydrant is replaced? Yet they do in a HOA. Yep, it's all about collecting fees. The city is feeling the pinch as the State of Illinois, aka State of Disaster, aka State of Madigan goes through the throes of its financial death.
I'll probably run a slide show at the HOA meeting tomorrow, so most of the board which was elsewhere for most of this project is kept fully informed.
That's not a criticism. It's a statement of reality. We all have other things to do, and for about 97% of the owners, it is about avoiding HOA meetings, and for about 10% of the HOA owners, it is about avoiding paying their HOA fees.
Isn't life wonderful?
