Is it a myth that an HOA's purpose is to serve the community? No it is not a myth. Homeowners who tolerate being called liars, who tolerate defensive, retaliatory interactions instead of quality homeowner (customer) service from their board are allow that myth to exist.
When a community supports a landscape committee to ADVISE a board on improving existing landscape programs and building for a solid, eco-friendly, financially sound future is told by a board member that the cleanup of an existing common property is its responsibility, the myth is enabled.
The current HOA board practices the principle of "it's not our job, it's not our fault." An HOA committee's responsibility is to advise, not execute on anything unless approved by the board.
I encourage you to exercise your rights to expect totally transparent, respectful interactions with homeowners, encouragement and nurturing of volunteers, long-term planning plans for common properties that the board is responsible for managing. Run for a board position, encourage a neighbor to run, refresh, reboot, vote for a change in for a strong and caring group of board members to build on the really good neighborhood you are fortunate to be a part of.
