Funny part is that there's probably 10+ neighbors next to him too cheap to water their lawns, spray weeds or put any effort forth to ensuring their property looks decent - and the board is picking him to be the culprit.  Same thing happened in my neighborhood - look the other way when a board member has 10 bicycles, barbeque grill, and pool toys on his porch, but heaven forbid I've got a trash can hidden behind a fence and screen that you'd have to climb into my yard to even see.  HOAs are about as hypocritical as they come.
