Our 3 member Board redecorated certain areas of our building this summer for over $200,000. They made all the decisions - what areas/how much to spend/who would do the work and advised residents that they had the power to do all this without resident approval. Also, one board member received all the work for window coverings/re-upholstering/wall coverings ... is any or all of the above legal in Florida?
