I did so for a similar purpose and spent the next fifteen years going to meetings in which the majority made decisions about what "we" should do about things. Unfortunately, nothing ever actually got done because nobody was willing to either volunteer or pay to do it. When we finally got a majority of like-minded folks on the board, we adopted a "no unfunded mandate" code that put an end to that.
I have a particularly fond memory of one guy who wanted to pull out a diseased tree in the common area. He was opposed by several folks who "liked the way the tree looked". We went through them one by one, assigning the responsibility for future maintenance of the tree to them. When all declined, we told the guy to go ahead and pull it out.
HOA's are just little exercises in democracy, full of all the same flaws that resulted in the founding fathers chosing a republic as our form of government.
I love that story!
