Can This HOA Board Declare This Issue Done and Stop Arguing?

An HOAleader.com reader asks: “I moved to a 14-unit HOA in November 2020 and was voted in as a board member in June 2021. Members met to approve continuation of paying two homeowners a total of $150 annually since their homes were covering the costs of water and electricity of common HOA swales and gate. One homeowner continues to fight this saying $150 annually is too much.
