Hilgi~welcome to the neighborhood. If you live in a townhouse or carriage home, you do have voting resident representation. Sadly, single family homes have years before we have a voting resident on the BOD. Even more years before residents control the association.
Even with voting residents on the small associations, Kennecott will have the deciding vote for a long time. We are stuck with their decisions.

However, don't be shy! Voice your opinions to the BOD/Kennecott. Over the last 4 years we have influenced the BOD on certain topics.
