I suggest you contact the District Manager -- and copy the Chair of the Board -- to express your desire for more notice.
I also strongly suggest you attend the General Meeting to express your opinion on any issue before the Board.

I've already done all but the last one.  They all know how I feel.  There is no need to waste more of my time.  Either they will do the right thing or not.   I've been saying this for years and they've been saying that it's not their job for years.  Instead of seeing themselves as a conduit for what people in neighborhoods want for their own neighborhoods, they see themselves as the experts on what should happen in other peoples' neighborhoods.  ... and as a rubber stamp for business.  With regard to the new chairs, I still have an open mind.  We'll see what develops.
