Former board director Frank Daly spent most of his term in office unsuccessfully trying to prepare Ocean Pines board, management and homeowners for changes in MD State HOA law effective 11/1/2022. Our board and management had two years to get in compliance with the changes and it was discussed many times in open meeting, but, a vote on rules and enforcement by homeowners, never happened. The board and management decided a vote by homeowners by section in OP was too complicated, and instead they have created a document purporting to give the board and management “super majority“ power to determine rules and enforcement, instead of by a vote of homeowners. There is no term as “super majority” in MD HOA law so how can this document be used to take our rights away? I urge every homeowner to read the easy to understand MD HOA law effective 11/1/22, especially the 2 pages about the required dispute settlement process. 

If an attorney thought they had a chance of taking a case related to DR enforcement and advancing it for the benefit of homeowner, it would have happened by now. It’s the job of AG motivated by homeowners demanding their rights that will launch an inquiry, not a private attorney. 

Thank you again.
