Ours, too—a fat pack of paper in legalese.
Someone on our board was a copywriter with desktop publishing experience, who condensed a draft from the by-laws. It was submitted to the HOA's lawyer who reviewed and added a small piece of boilerplate before it could be finalized in an attractive layout and distributed. It many months of back and forth, but for those of us who really needed relief from several issues, it has worked well.
I’ll pass the suggestion on. Thanks.
