Now on my second term as president, I would greatly caution against equating high charges with a "bad" board. I now understand what it takes to run a building -- and in our case, repair and maintain -- and while in the ideal world, low maintenance and management fees would be lovely, that is not the reality when dealing with upkeep, bill, unexpected needs, etc. If the board is not communicating this need, then that is an issue that is easily resolved. It sounds to me like there is a big gap between board operations and what owners understand. I think the route to take is closing that gap...rather than replacing everyone. Trust me, once you sit in a board member's sit, your perspective changes. In the end, it is to satisfy the long-term needs of owners...and that often requires money. If you had a private home -- a house -- you would probably see that more clearly.
