   I remember having a board ruling to prohibit any” for profit” use of community property and an amendment was made to the bylaws in order to preserve the non-profit status of the neighborhood and the board. A resident was told he could not teach tennis lessons on the court for profit as it violated our non-profit status and also our insurance provisions. So how do we now justify a” vendors fair” held on the community grounds for business and profit without violating our own bylaws ? It will make it hard to enforce any action against someone doing business out of their home or on community property in the future and threatens to invalidate the non-profit status of the board and neighborhood, opening up the door to then owe tax on property used to make profit and do business as the status can be changed to”for profit” or” business property”. Is that wise ? Is it what we want ? Who authorized this change in status ? I am no longer on the board and they don’t consult me at all, but I want to know, why the turn around in the non profit standing of the neighborhood ? Who benefited by this and was it worth the risk ? It will be like trying to enforce the fence rules when the Club house has two types of fencing prohibited in the neighborhood. What good are the bylaws and rules if the board itself who is charged with protecting the status and standing of the rules can ignore and break them at will? Why publish and distribute rules if no one has to follow them anyway ? This is a legal quagmire.
