This is done by a board appointed and controlled by the developer.

I would suggest you re-take the free class since you're clearly unaware of who actually controls what.
You are correct on both statements, PWAC is advisory only and SLCDD is controlled by the developer. To date SLCDD has never overridden PWAC on any decision and the resolution that empowers PWAC for amenities oversight includes a clause to require a joint meeting of both if there is a different action taken by SLCDD over the PWAC recommendation. Overriding PWAC is a card they can play only once, after that PWAC becomes useless to them as their scapegoat.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
