Board wants to interpret condo association bylaws as they see fit

Our condo board sent out a letter to all unit owners stating what they will present at our general meeting: a list of what owners are responsible for and what the condo association's responsibilities are. Then, with the approval of the owners they will change the by-laws.

When we first moved in ten years ago, we were given a list of what condo owners were responsible for. After reading the by-laws we found many of the responsibilities we were told were ours, were in the by-laws as the condo association's responsibility. (e.g.) Filling in cracks in the foundation, and filling in loose grout in the brick, cutting down and trimming trees that are in our yards. I could go on and on, but the list is too long.

When we reminded the board the by-laws stated who is responsible for what, they said it was a matter of interpretation, and since the other boards had the same interpretation as this board, they were just going to change the bylaws. We suggested they ask our lawyer to interpret for us, their answer was they didn't want to have to pay lawyer fees. So, they are going to write up what they think is the way it should be,and have the owners vote on it at our general meeting. Can they do this? If things were better and we could get out of here, we would be gone next week. We are tired of arguing with this condo board.
