LcPOA has been imposing Additional Obligations on La Cresta members: As the LCPOA board gained more influence, they decided to impose additional obligations on the homeowners beyond what was outlined in the association's bylaws and CC&Rs. These obligations included enforcing strict deadlines and hefty fines for non-compliance ( from $200 to $5000). Homeowners were concerned about these new obligations, as they were not mentioned in the governing documents they had agreed upon when purchasing their properties. Some felt that the board was overstepping its authority by unilaterally imposing these requirements without member consent.

Election Disqualification of Lorene: During the 2022 LCPOA board elections, Lorene, a long-standing and respected member of the community, expressed her interest in serving as the Election Inspector. Lorene had previous experience in this role and was known for her impartiality and attention to detail. However, to the surprise of many, Lorene's application was rejected by the board without a clear explanation.
