Here is a good example of why I dont like them. They are generally out of control and power hungry people who can not accept the they make mistakes:

During more than his three minutes of allotted time, Elm Grove resident Josh Taylor reiterated the events resulting in his formal written request to the Kingwood Service Association Board of Directors (KSA). As reported previously by The Tribune July 9 and June 11, Taylor’s car was towed from River Grove Park on Feb. 12 for improper or no numbered Kingwood parking sticker on the car, Because he had a proper sticker visible in the car he requested a $238.30 reimbursement from Kingwood Management’s Ethel McCormick. She declined and referred him to the KSA Parks Committee for consideration. He objected and requested a “tow hearing” in Justice of the Peace Court, Precinct 4 Place 2. At the April 25 hearing, the judge ruled in Taylor’s favor, finding the removal of the vehicle was made without probable cause and ordered Kingwood Association Management to reimburse Taylor the cost of the tow and $20 for court costs. McCormick appealed the case, scheduled for July 30.
At least one board member told Taylor KSA, “always wins these kinds of things when they go to court.”
The judge, in setting the appeals hearing, indicated that the parties may settle out of court if they so choose. As a result, Taylor took the matter to the Parks Committee as McCormick had originally advised. The Parks Committee referred him to the Board.
After discussion and questions between Taylor and several of the board members, it became clear that no such motion would be made. Taylor urged Elm Grove representative Susie LeCantu to make the motion on his behalf as his representative so at least a vote could be called.
At this point, the KSA Board declared that Taylor’s request would be brought up the under new business at the end of the meeting and the returned to the meeting’s agenda.
McCormick reported for the treasurer that KSA revenues were fully received for the first six months for a total of $400,001 and that operating expenses were below the approved budget by a total of $112,274. <SNIP>
<SNIP>Four Parks Committee motions were approved: $15,375 drawn from the Capital Reserve Fund for re-decking Richard Summers was nominated and elected by acclimation.
No other business was raised by the board, so Price adjourned the meeting.
Following the adjournment Taylor wondered what had happened to his request that was to be taken up. 4951
