Florida homeowners sue association over roofing fee, alleging pre-vote payment and secret approval

Residents of The Vistas at Phillips Commons in Florida have filed a lawsuit against their homeowners association. They claim a roofing contract worth about $2.1 million was approved in secret before any official vote took place. According to the homeowners, a substantial deposit was paid ahead of the meeting, which they say points to possible financial misconduct. A criminal investigation is also underway into alleged irregularities involving the association and its management company.
